Programme history

Introduction

Studiet er internasjonalt orientert og tar i bruk internasjonal forskning og faglitteratur. Noe av pensumlitteraturen er på engelsk. Noe av undervisningen kan også forekomme på engelsk. Det kan være aktuelt med gjesteforelesere, fra utenlandske institusjoner.

Studenter kan søke om praksisopphold i utlandet dersom samarbeid ligger til rette for gjeldende studieår. Dette vil bli opplyst ved praksisforberedelser.

Target group

Det er knyttet obligatoriske arbeidskrav til hvert emne i utdanningsløpet. Arbeidskrav for hvert emne må være godkjent før studenten kan fremstille seg til eksamen i det aktuelle emnet. De obligatoriske arbeidskravene bidrar til å sikre at kandidaten når et tilfredsstillende læringsutbytte og vil prøve kandidatens evne til å behandle, reflektere og drøfte over teori og praksis.

Arbeidskrav kan være:

  • skriftlige oppgaver
  • deltagelse på seminarer
  • muntlige presentasjoner
  • eller mer praktiske og praksisnære oppgaver som utforming av undervisningsopplegg innenfor fag

Arbeidskravene løses individuelt eller i gruppe. Arbeidskrav skal være innfridd innen fastsatte frister. Arbeidskrav vurderes til godkjent/ikke godkjent. Ved ikke godkjent har kandidaten anledning til å omarbeide arbeidskravet og levere til ny godkjenning ytterligere to ganger.

Det forutsettes at kandidaten deltar aktivt i både undervisning, seminar og veiledning. Det er derfor krav om 80% oppmøte på obligatorisk undervisning, seminar og veiledning. Dette skal sikre at studentene får delta aktivt i faglige refleksjoner og samarbeide om fagstoff knyttet til de ulike læringsutbyttene. Studenter som samlet har mer enn 20 prosent fravær fra obligatorisk deltagelse i et emne, får ikke anledning til å avlegge eksamen. Studenter som står i fare for å overskride fraværskvoten, får skriftlig melding om dette.

Gyldig fravær dokumentert ved for eksempel legeerklæring, fritar ikke for innfrielse av arbeidskrav. Studenter som på grunn av sykdom eller annen dokumentert gyldig årsak ikke innfrir arbeidskrav innen fristen, bør så langt det er mulig, kunne få et nytt forsøk før eksamen. Dette må avtales i hvert enkelt tilfelle med den aktuelle faglærer. Hvis det ikke er mulig å gjennomføre et nytt forsøk på grunn av fagets/emnets egenart, må studenten påregne å ta arbeidskravet ved neste mulige tidspunkt. Dette kan medføre forsinkelser i studieprogresjon.

Admission requirements

Bestemmelser om eksamen er gitt i lov om universiteter og høgskoler og forskrift om studier og eksamen ved OsloMet og forskrift til rammeplan for praktisk-pedagogisk utdanning. Se OsloMets nettsider: www.oslomet.no

Det skilles mellom underveisvurdering og avsluttende vurdering. Underveisvurdering skal bidra konstruktivt til læring og videreutvikling hos studenten. Den avsluttende vurderingen skjer ved eksamen. I forbindelse med avsluttende vurdering benyttes en karakterskala fra A til E for bestått (A er høyeste karakter og E er laveste) og F for ikke bestått. Bestått/ikke bestått benyttes for praksisopplæringen.

Muntlig eksamen skal sensureres av to sensorer. Det er kun formelle feil som kan påklages ved muntlig eksamen. Andre eksamensformer kan ha en sensor og kan påklages.

Studieprogresjon

Det er anbefalt å ha gjennomført og bestått emne 1 er før studenten starter på emne 2. Dette gjelder både pedagogikk og fagdidaktikk. Studenter som ikke har bestått en eksamen etter ny/utsatt prøve, bør følge undervisningen i faget på nytt og gå opp til neste ordinære eksamen. Unntak fra bestemmelsene ovenfor kan innvilges av instituttledelsen etter søknad dersom særskilte grunner skulle tale for det.

Utsatt/ny eksamen

Oppmelding til ny/utsatt eksamen gjøres i Studentweb etter gjeldende frister. Ny/utsatt eksamen arrangeres normalt tidlig i påfølgende semester. For studenter som har levert eksamen og ikke fått bestått blir det arrangert ny eksamen. For studenter som ikke fikk avlagt ordinær eksamen blir det arrangert utsatt eksamen. Vilkårene for å gå opp til ny/utsatt eksamen gis i forskrift om studier og eksamen ved OsloMet. Nærmere informasjon om oppmelding til og tidspunkt for ny/utsatt eksamen finnes på Studentweb.

Learning outcomes

Kvalitetssikring

Hensikten med kvalitetssikringssystemet for OsloMet er å styrke studentenes læringsutbytte og utvikling ved å heve kvaliteten i alle ledd. OsloMet ønsker å samarbeide med studentene, og deres deltakelse i kvalitetssikringsarbeidet er avgjørende. Noen overordnede mål for kvalitetssikringssystemet er:

  • å sikre at utdanningsvirksomheten inkludert praksis, lærings- og studiemiljøet holder høy kvalitet
  • å sikre utdanningenes relevans til yrkesfeltet
  • å sikre en stadig bedre kvalitetsutvikling

For studenter innebærer dette blant annet studentevalueringer:

  • emneevalueringer
  • årlige studentundersøkelser felles for OsloMet

Mer informasjon om kvalitetssikringssystemet, se her: www.hioa.no/Om-OsloMet/System-for-kvalitetssikring-og-kvalitetsutvikling-av-utdanningene-ved-OsloMet

Tilsynssensorordning

Tilsynssensorordningen er en del av kvalitetssikringen av det enkelte studium. En tilsynssensor er ikke en eksamenssensor, men en som har tilsyn med kvaliteten i studiene. Alle studier ved OsloMet skal være under tilsyn av tilsynssensor, men det er rom for ulike måter å praktisere ordningen på. Viser til retningslinjer for oppnevning og bruk av sensorer ved OsloMet, se her: https://student.oslomet.no/retningslinjer-sensorer

Content and structure

The respective course descriptions (in section 11) give more detailed information about work methods, coursework requirements, reading lists, assessment and exam aids. Teaching plans for each individual course will be published at the start of the semester. They contain detailed reading lists, a progress schedules, detailed information about planned exercises, and required coursework with pertaining deadlines.

The programme comprises the following courses, cf. the National Curriculum Regulations:

Common courses, 30 credits – basic mathematics, systems perspectives on engineering and an introduction to professional engineering practice and work methods. The common courses are common to all study programmes.

Programme courses, 50-70 credits – technical subjects, natural science subjects and social science subjects. Programme courses are common to all programme options in a study programme.

Technical specialisation courses, 50-70 credits –provide a clear specialisation in the student’s engineering field and that are based on programme courses and common courses.

Elective courses, 20-30 credits –provide breadth or depth in the professional specialisation.

Students who have either failed (F) or had valid grounds for absence (medical certificate) at an earlier ordinary exam in an elective course and who wish to retake the course as part of their bachelor’s degree the next year are guaranteed a place on the course (provided that the course is available). They must contact the Section for Academic Affairs before the semester registration starts to be guaranteed a place.

Elective courses 2025-2026

Elective courses are available in the fifth semester and sixth semester (selected during the previous semester). The initiation of elective courses requires a sufficient number of interested students, along with the necessary capacity and adequate teaching resources at the institute. The faculty cannot guarantee that all elective courses and combinations from other study programs are possible, as courses may have the same teaching time and exam day.

Teaching and learning methods

The study focuses on active learning methods, where students learn theory through practical use of technology. The teaching and learning methods include lectures, exercises, mandatory assignments, laboratory work in groups, project work in groups, and independent learning with digital learning resources such as lecture recordings. Project work is an important component in many subjects, and emphasis is placed on students learning to collaborate in groups.

Internationalisation

The engineering programme is adapted for internationalisation in that the students can take courses abroad, mainly from the fourth semester. See https://student.oslomet.no/retningslinjer-sensorer

In addition, OsloMet collaborates with institutions in several European countries on an English-language course called European Project Semester (EPS). It is worth 30 credits and is mainly intended for incoming exchange students, but can also be relevant for OsloMet’s own third-year students in the sixth semester. Admission to the course is based on individual application.

Engineering is an international field. Much of the course literature is in English, and several of the systems and work tools use English as their working language. Some of the teaching may be in English. The individual course descriptions will state which courses this concerns. These courses will give the students good experience and knowledge of English engineering terminology.

Work requirements

Required coursework means compulsory assignments/activities that must be approved by a given deadline in order for students to be able to sit the exam. Coursework can be written work, project work, oral presentations, lab courses, compulsory attendance at lectures etc. Required coursework can be done individually or in groups.

The required coursework is intended to ensure the students’ progress and development and that they participate in necessary elements of the programme. Coursework requirements can also be set to ensure that students achieve a learning outcome that cannot be tested in an exam.

Previously approved coursework can be valid for two years after it is approved, provided that the course has not changed.

Required coursework is assessed as ‘approved’ or ‘not approved’.

The coursework requirements for each course are described in the course description. The number and type of coursework requirements, the rules for meeting the coursework requirements, deadlines and other details are set out in the course descriptions and teaching plans that are announced at the start of the semester.

Not approved coursework

Valid absence documented by, for example, a medical certificate does not exempt students from meeting the coursework requirements. Students who have valid grounds for absence, or who have submitted coursework that is not approved, should as far as possible be given a new chance to resubmit it before the exam. This must be agreed with the lecturer in question on a case-to-case basis. If another attempt at meeting a coursework requirement is not possible because of the nature of the subject/course, the student must be prepared to meet the coursework requirement on the next possible occasion. This can result in delayed progress in the programme.

Assessment

The examination regulations are specified in the Act relating to Universities and University Colleges and the Regulations relating to Studies and Examinations at OsloMet. See OsloMet’s website www.oslomet.no

Oral and practical exams are assessed by two examiners, as these forms of exams cannot be appealed. Formal errors can nonetheless be appealed.

One overall grade is given for the portfolio.

It is only possible to appeal the exam result for the portfolio assessment as a whole. Any information provided about weighting is only considered additional information in relation to the final grade. If parts of the portfolio contain elements such as an oral presentation, practical assignments etc., the exam result cannot be appealed. The rules concerning right of appeal are described in each individual course description.

Exams that are only assessed by internal examiners shall be regularly selected for external assessment.

Assessment

The grades pass/fail or a grade scale with grades from A to E for pass and F for fail are used for exam grades.

Prerequisite knowledge and study progress

Prerequisite knowledge is described in the course descriptions.

Even if no specific requirements for prior knowledge are defined, the students should take courses worth at least 50 credits each year to be able to complete the programme within the nominal length of study.

  • From the first to the second year of the programme – courses worth 50 credits should be completed
  • From the first and second years to the third year of the programme – courses worth 100 credits should be completed

Students must be registered in the third year and have completed at least 100 credits from the first and second years of the programme by 1 October before they can be assigned a topic for their bachelor’s thesis.

Programme supervisor scheme

Programme supervision is part of the quality assurance of each individual study programme. A programme supervisor is not an examiner, but someone who supervises the quality of the study programmes. All study programmes at OsloMet shall be supervised by a programme supervisor, but there is leeway to practise the system in different ways. Reference is made to the Guidelines for Appointment and Use of Examiners at OsloMet: https://student.oslomet.no/retningslinjer-sensorer

Rescheduled/resit exams

Students must register for resit/rescheduled exams themselves. Resits/rescheduled exams are normally organised together early in the following semester. Resit exams are for students who have taken the exam and failed. Rescheduled exams are for students who did not take the regular exam. The conditions for taking resit/rescheduled exams are set out in the Regulations relating to Studies and Examinations at OsloMet.

Diploma

The final assessment for each course will be included on the diploma for the Bachelor’s Degree in Electrical and Electronic Engineering, and the title of the bachelor’s thesis shall be stated.

Other information

The purpose of OsloMet’s quality assurance system is to improve the students’ learning outcomes and development by raising quality at all levels. OsloMet wishes to cooperate with the students, and their participation in the quality assurance work is crucial. The overriding goals for the quality assurance system include:

  • to ensure a high level of quality in educational activities, including practical training and the learning and study environment
  • to ensure that the study programmes are relevant to the professional fields
  • to ensure that the quality continues to improve

For the students, this entails, among other things, student evaluations:

  • course evaluations
  • annual student surveys for all of OsloMet
