This course is taught in Swedish. This course is an extension to the course Introduction to materials in a circular society. The course gives you basic insights into the circular economy and the recycling of metals. You will also gain an understanding of the recycling of the most common metals and their role in a sustainable society in a circular economy. During the course we will review: The basics of the properties of the most common metals and their different uses The basics of the production of the most common metallic materials Recycling of metals and their environmental footprint The basics of the circular economy The course is completely free of charge, taught online with no scheduled sessions, and can be followed at your own pace. You can take the course without subject-specific prior knowledge. The course consists of five parts: Introduction to metals Properties of metals Classification of major metals Preparation of the most common metals Recycling and environmental perspectives  You will be examined continuously by answering questions related to each part. The examination is based on questions that are automatically corrected. To pass, you must answer all questions correctly. There is no limit to the number of times you can answer the questions. After passing the course you will have learned to: Explain the characteristics of metallic materials and describe the properties, uses and production processes of the most common metallic materials. Reason insightfully about the strengths and weaknesses of different metallic materials from both a user and sustainability perspective. Explain the process for recycling different metals in a circular economy with low environmental impact. Explain what a circular economy is and explain key circular economy concepts.

This course is taught in Swedish. This course is an extension to the course Introduction to materials in a circular society. The course summarises the state of the art in circular economy and recycling of materials. The course includes the following elements: What is recycling? Different materials and processes for recycling Open and closed systems for recycling Standards and recycling in a circular society The course is completely free of charge, taught online with no scheduled meetings, and can be followed at your own pace. You can take the course without subject-specific prior knowledge. You will be continuously examined by answering questions related to each part. Examination is by automatically corrected questions and reflection tasks. To pass, you must answer all questions correctly. There is no limit to the number of times you can answer the questions. The reflection questions allow you to stop and give answers from your own perspective. These are not graded.  Other courses about the circular economy: Introduction to materials in a circular society Materials in a circular society - Metals See all free online courses that KTH offers

Improve work environments using RAMP (Risk management Assessment tool for Manual handling Proactively)! In this course, you practice using all four modules in the RAMP tool to manage musculoskeletal (MSD) risks. You become skilled in managing the whole risk management process and get to work with authentic cases from the business community. MSDs are one of the most common reasons for absence from work today. It leads to reduced productivity and quality losses at companies, as well as increased medical costs. This course is part three of a RAMP program. The other courses are Assessment of Work-Related Injury Risks using RAMP I and Risk Management of Work-Related Injuries using RAMP II.

Improve work environments using RAMP (Risk management Assessment tool for Manual handling Proactively)! In this course, you learn to use all four modules in the RAMP tool to manage musculoskeletal (MSD) risks. This includes, for example, how to present results from risk assessments and how to create action plans for improvement. MSDs are one of the most common reasons for absence from work today. It leads to reduced productivity and quality losses at companies, as well as increased medical costs. This course is part two of a RAMP program. The other courses are Assessment of Work-Related Injury Risks using RAMP I and Proficiency in using RAMP for Risk Management of Work-Related Injuries.

This course is taught in Swedish. Get started with measuring and running a systematic sustainability program! This course is mainly aimed at small and medium-sized enterprises. Using concrete tools such as the Green Performance Map (GPM) and Quality Function Deployment (QFD), you will be supported in identifying relevant sustainability goals and translating them into metrics. The course shows how to integrate sustainability work into daily improvement work, how to create anchoring in the organization, and how psychological security, leadership and culture are key factors for long-term change. You will also gain insight into how metrics affect motivation, behavior and management - and how to balance between controlling and leading metrics.

During this free course, you will learn the basics of AI, machine learning and Neural Networks. You will learn about important concepts such as Gradient Descent, Backpropagation and Activation Functions. Common metrics are presented as well as problems such as overfitting and underfitting. Among other topics, we go in-depth on: What are Neural Networks and how are they trained? How do Neural Networks analyze images and text? How important is data?
