Records management in theory and practice Programme description

This programme description was prepared by OsloMet pursuant to the National Curriculum Regulations for Engineering Education, adopted by the Ministry of Education on 18 Mai 2018.

The Norwegian Qualifications Framework for Higher Education, which was adopted by the Ministry of Education and Research on 20 March 2009, provides an overview of the overall learning outcomes defined in terms of the knowledge, skills and general competence candidates are expected to have achieved after completing the education. The learning outcomes described in the programme description have been prepared in accordance with the National Curriculum Regulations and the Qualifications Framework.

The Bachelor’s Degree Programme in Mechanical Engineering has two programme option:

• Construction and Design
• Mechatronics

The study programme is based on a sound foundation comprising relevant mathematics and other natural science and social science courses, and it provides a good basis for different positions in both the private and public sector. Mechanical engineers work in the workshop industry, process industry, engineering companies and consultancy firms, for manufacturers and suppliers of equipment, in shipping companies and oil companies.

The students will acquire good knowledge of basic engineering subjects to create a sound platform for developing their own knowledge and skills over the course of an interesting and creative career.

Through collaboration with the industry, the mechanical engineering programme seeks to stay at the forefront of developments with regard to the use of computer-based methods and tools. Among other things, 3D modelling and rapid prototyping are actively used in teaching. Together with an industry-oriented composition of courses, this will enable our graduate engineers to solve the tasks expected of a modern-day mechanical engineer.

Continuous efforts are made to ensure the programme is up to date. The tuition is research-based and is revised annually to be able to meet the industry’s expectations of a newly graduated engineer.

Mechanical Engineering is a three-year, full-time programme, and candidates who complete the programme will be awarded the degree Bachelor of Mechanical Engineering.
