Grethe Sandstrak
About
I am the Program Manager for the Bachelor of Engineering in Computer Science at the Department of Computer Science and Informatics, within the Faculty of Information Technology and Electrical Engineering.
My research areas focus on education, particularly the use of student active learning methods and agile methodologies, serious games, and welfare technology. I have served as the project coordinator for the Erasmus+ Strategic Partnership – Serious Games and Welfare Technology, as well as for several intensive programs within the EU LLP program.
My past and current teaching includes programming, teamwork, software engineering, ITIL, and project work.
Research
Through my research, I aim to improve the quality of education at all levels, from developing study programs to implementing effective teaching methods and collaborating with industry. The goal is to create a comprehensive and integrated approach that ensures students receive a high-quality education that is both theoretically sound and practically relevant. My research primarily focuses on the engineering discipline, particularly the computer engineering program.
Furthermore, I am part of a research group within Motion Capture and Visualization – Vizlab. The lab utilizes advanced motion capture systems to analyze and improve human movement, such as gait analysis and biomechanical studies. In addition, we investigate technological solutions to support individuals in everyday life, such as virtual training systems for post-stroke rehabilitation.
