Alumni Visit

This news item was published more than six months ago and may no longer be relevant.

The first cohort of Mechanical Engineers graduated from Dalarna University (then called Falun/Borlänge University) in 1990. Today, those graduates work all over Sweden and the world.

Led by Per Halldorf, who today works at Hitachi Energy in Ludvika, 12 people from the first cohort came to visit their old university.

Johan Olsson (lecturer in physics) and Roger Johansson (senior lecturer in mechanical engineering) talked about how the education has developed, what they are working on today, as well as showing the new technology labs and Makerspace*

* Makerspace is a lab and workshop environment for easier processing and provides opportunities for innovation and creative development with the help of, among other things, 3D printing.

The visit ended with a tour of the rest of the campus.  This was followed by a dinner at which it is guaranteed that the graduates had a lot to talk about.
