Bachelor, høgskoleingeniør

Entry requirements

General college entrance requirements with additional qualifications in Physics (2FY-2yr) and Mathematics (3MX-3yr)

Objectives

- To provide good theoretical and practical education for students who plan to work as cybernetic engineers and a solid fundation for graduate students
- To develop the ability to collaborate and communicate with colleagues as well as people who are not cybernetic spesialists. On conpletion of the program it is expected that student will be able to work with a wide range of other users, including spesialists from other fields.
- To develop relevant understanding of ethical considerations in relation to cybernetics, and simulate reflection on development and application.
- To be able to meet the need for maintenance and user service, by emphazing cybernetic systems in the study program.

Study structure

Teaching in the form of lectures, labs and practical projects, with and without supervision.

Methodology and project oriented approach are particulary emphaized in this program. Many of the subjects also require the completion of individual projects and group projects.

The faculty maces extensive use of lab work, Internet and web technology in creating an active and challenging learning environment for the students.

Organization

Each year of study is divided into two semesters, with the following main structure:

Year 1:
Basic courses, math, electronics and basic computer science courses - programming languages, object oriented programming.

Year 2:
Math and physics. Computer systems and computer network. Electronics, instrumentation and industrial cybernetics.

Year 3:
Real time computer programming. Cybernetics, Knowlegde based susyem and Artificial Intelligence. The specialization is culminating in the completion of a main project (small thesis).
