    • Livet som ingenjörsstudent – AmandaIngenjör, vad gör egentligen en sådan? Vad innebär det att utbilda sig till ingenjör och vem börjar plugga till det? Jag heter Amanda Axelsson och jag läser till Civilingenjör i Teknisk Fysik på Lunds Tekniska Högskola. På denna blogg kommer ni att få följa med på min resa till att klura ut just vad en ingenjör, och framförallt en ingenjörsstudent, egentligen gör. Ni kommer få hänga med i min vardag med plugg, vänner och studentliv! Att plugga till ingenjör var verkligen inte ett självklart val för mig. För att kanske göra någons kommande val lite lättare så tänkte jag här dela med mig av allt man kan tänkas vilja veta om livet som ingenjörsstudent. Häng på!
    • The Diversity Blog – NicoleVet du varför det finns så få kvinnliga ingenjörer? Hur har det blivit såhär? Och vad kan vi göra för att förändra det? Idag utgör kvinnor endast 30 procent av alla utexaminerade civilingenjörer. Detta beskrivs ofta som ett samhällsproblem då en stor del av potentialen bland befolkningen lämnas outnyttjad. I Nicole’s Diversity Blog reder hon ut begrepp, orsaker och lösningar för hur vi skapar en mer jämställd ingenjörsbransch.

    • Womengineerbloggen – MarieI dagens samhälle finns ett stort problem. Unga tjejer väljer inte tekniska utbildningar. Okunskap om vad dessa utbildningar innebär, förlegade normer i samhället samt en tro om att det ska vara för svårt har, under allt för många år, skapat ett kraftigt underskott av kvinnliga ingenjörer. Det vill vi på Womengineer ändra på. Mitt namn är Emelie Emanuelsson och jag är civilingenjör från KTH i grunden. I denna blogg får du hänga med mig i mitt dagliga jobb med Womengineer och IGEday.

What do knitting socks, rosehip soup, and biofuels have in common? Me!
My name is Finley and this is my blog. I come from the U.S. but now live in Uppsala, Sweden. I try to divide my time as evenly as possible between studying, crafts, and outdoorsy adventures. After having completed a bachelors degree in physics in the U.S., I’ve recently begun studying Energy Systems in Uppsala. My hope is that I can share with others both my passion for science as well as my passion for exploring the world (whether by moving to another continent or by taking part in a nature walk/mushroom picking extravaganza).

Learning by doing: field trips with energy systems

A couple weeks ago, I wrote a little bit about my program, Energy Systems. Now I’d like to take the opportunity to write about my favorite thing about the program so far: field trips.   This first term I’ve been spoiled by the amount of fascinating, inspiring field trips we’ve Read more…

America’s best holiday: Thanksgiving

In a somewhat Swedish-Halloween style, I’ll take this opportunity to say Happy Thanksgiving! a week late. Thanksgiving is the fourth Thursday in November, which means that last week on November 28th, the population of the U.S. took some time to chill with family, eat delicious food and be thankful for Read more…

And now…the weekend

It is my strict belief that school work is for school days and that weekends are for all the other kinds of learning that I don’t have time for during the week. Sometimes I have to break this rule if finals are coming up or if there’s a big project Read more…

A “normal” Friday

This month on Womengineer, we’ve decided to write a little series chronically a “normal” week. If you haven’t already seen the posts for Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday—here’s your chance (they’re in Swedish, so if you don’t understand Swedish then you’ll just have to be satisfied with hearing about Friday).

A short description of my program

I’ve only been writing for Womengineer for a few weeks, but already I think I’ve written more blog entries than I wrote during an entire year in Germany. Despite that fact, I haven’t really said anything about what I’m studying or what I’ve studied and perhaps it’s time to introduce Read more…

Difference #1 between Sweden and the U.S.: college sports

Quite recently I was asked about the differences between studying in the U.S. and studying in Sweden. Being such a diverse topic, I didn’t know exactly how to answer the question and ended up mumbling something very vague and only quasi-understandable. Thinking about it a little more, I realize that Read more…

Happy Halloween! Wait–which day was that again?

Halloween is a wonderful time. My favorite part of Halloween was always being able to run loose with my friends at night without any boring adults there to dampen the atmosphere. Few people were such avid trick-or-treaters as I. I even trick-or-treated right up until I was seventeen, the year Read more…

Gerty Cori–the woman behind the lactic acid cycle

By this point, we’ve talked about making sourdough bread and the science behind it. Slowly, slowly, my readers are beginning to suspect that I am some sort of sourdough maniac who thinks of nothing else. Not to fear, we will soon wrap up this fascinating topic, but not before discussing Read more…

the Biology of Sourdough

Sitting at home, revelling in an after-finals serenity the likes of which is usually only possible in a Buddhist temple, the scent of freshly baked sourdough wafting through the apartment, one may ask oneself: “What is the origin of this wonderful bread? How does nature produce such incredible, scrumptious delight?” Read more…

An Introduction to Sourdough

Something about living in Sweden makes me want to create things. I noticed this especially last Christmas when I came to visit after having been living in Germany. No sooner had I arrived in Uppsala than my fingers began to itch for a knitting project, I started designing a solar Read more…
