Aalto RSE training
This is the Aalto RSE and Aalto Scientific Computing training and team reference material. It’s not a textbook or course, but a reference for use during mentoring and of what the expectations are. There is both general information that may be useful outside of Aalto, but plenty is specific to our team, especially the later sections.
The first parts are mainly about the roles when moving from an individual researcher to a consulting engineer in a team, the middle part is topical knowledge reference about, and latter parts are our team procedures.
This site is still under construction and “wiki rules” are in effect: make improvements and iterate, 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 - if there is a lot of outside interest, the Aalto specific stuff my be split out.

General background information.
Roles
This section tells some of the main roles in our team and how to prepare for them. In practice, there is no real division, but this division hopefully makes onboarding more manageable (according to one’s onboarding plan).
Topical reference
This section is a reference of what one may need to know to be a RSE. It is a collection of interesting links and some original material. It’s also not intended to be read straight through but instead be a general reference for what you may need to know and a place to refer to later. Your mentor will tell you what to focus on.
The ASC handbook is our own team’s internal practices - basically a part of onboarding for new people.
RSE seminar series
A seminar series to build RSE skills.
