Aalto RSE training

This site contains the Aalto RSE training program. It’s not a textbook or course, but a reference for use during mentoring and of what the expectations are - mainly of moving from an individual researcher to a consulting engineer in a team.

This site is under construction and “wiki rules” are in effect: if you see something, just make the update. Someone will come later and clean it up. I’m also happy if this is useful to others and there are suggestions to make it more useful outside Aalto. Current editor: rkdarst.
