Statoil Prize for 2007 was awarded to Professor Martin Landrø, an applied geophysicist with the Department of Petroleum Engineering and Applied Geophysics at NTNU. The prize recognizes his work in in four-dimensional seismology, also known as 4-D seismic.
Revolutionary Masters Thesis from Rolls Royce Engineer Severin Åkervik Ulstein, with Rolls Royce in Ålesund, recently completed his masters degree at NTNU in Trondheim. Ulstein's thesis deals with how commercial ships can utilize natural gas motors instead of heavy oil motors. The study outlines the environmental pay off of using natural gas motors and the steps authorities should take in order to facilitate use of such engines in the shipping industry.

The mining industry in Norway began with the royal silver mines in Kongsberg, creating the demand for technical expertise. An direct line can be drawn from the engineering degree programmes offered at NTNU to the Mining seminar in Kongsberg in 1757. The "Bergseminar" was replaced by the NTH degree offerings in 1910. Professor Einar Broch asserts that the Mining industry is more active that ever before, and emphasizes that geological engineering education is still vitally important.
NTNU 'Think tank' explores the future of ship design Some of the biggest names in the shipbuilding industry—Aker Yards, Rolls Royce Marine and DNV—have teamed with the Norwegian University of Science and Technology's Dept. of Marine Technology, in an effort to create an international powerhouse for research and education on the effective design of future ships.

The City of Trondheim has ambitious goals for reducing its greenhouse gas emissions but until now lacked a sufficient understanding of what these emissions were and how they came about. PhD student Hogne Nersund Larsen has investigated both the direct and indirect GHG emissions.
Female students pour into technology studies Between 2005 - 2007 NTNU experienced an almost 80% increase in the number of female applicants to technology study programmes. Especially gratifying for the Faculty of Engineering Science and Technology (IVT), is the growth in terms of female applicants for the Masters programmes: Civil and Environmental Engineering, Energy and Environmental Engineering, and Earth Sciences and Petroleum Engineering. Altogether, the percentage of female students enrolled in advanced engineering studies at NTNU is 28%. (27.4.07, Jenter inntar Gløshaugen: Adressa.no )
Marin studenter mottar andrepremie i Dr.Lisnyk Student Competition Marinstudenter gjør det stort på andre siden av den store dammen. Seks fjerde-årsstudenter fra Institutt for marin teknikk drar til Fort Lauderdale i Florida for å motta sin andrepremie i Dr.Lisnyk Student Ship Competition, som arrangeres av Society of Naval Architects and Marine Engineers. Organisasjonen (SNAME) betraktes som den mest respektable organisasjonen for skipsingeniører, og leverer utallige forskningsrapporter til bruk i skipsindustrien. (5.10.06) » Les artikkel
