Introduction
Lectures, exercises, laboratory work, supervision and other teaching methods will be emphasised to a varying extent in the different courses.
Project work is an important component of many of the courses. Emphasis will be placed on the students learning to cooperate in groups.
Recommended preliminary courses
The course builds on BYFE1000 - Mathematics 1000.
Required preliminary courses
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.
Learning outcomes
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.
Teaching and learning methods
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 Mechanical Engineering, and the title of the bachelor’s thesis shall be stated.
Course requirements
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
More information about the quality assurance system is available here: https://student.oslomet.no/regelverk#etablering-studium-evaluering-kvalitetssystem
Assessment
Individual written exam, 3 hours
The result of the exam can be appealed.
Permitted exam materials and equipment
A handheld calculator that cannot be used for wireless communication or to perform symbolic calculations. If the calculator's internal memory can store data, the memory must be deleted before the exam. Random checks may be carried out.
All printed and written aids.
Grading scale
Grade scale A-F.
Examiners
One internal examiner. External examiners are used regularly.
Overlapping courses
Emnet er ekvivalent (overlapper 10 studiepoeng) med MEK2000, EMPE2000, KJPE2000 og MAPE2000. Ved praktisering av 3-gangers regelen for oppmelding til eksamen teller forsøk brukt i ekvivalente emner.
