The ever-increasing requirements of individual high quality mobility and transportation of people and goods make the automotive industry a necessity in our society. Global warming and environmental challenges push for innovations from a holistic view as well as the need for vehicle manufacturers to meet new customer demands, safety legislation and the pressure to produce vehicles at the lowest possible cost.

Therefore, the need of skilled Automotive Engineers is immense.

The aim of the Automotive Engineering programme (AE) is to prepare students for a professional career with a broad knowledge of automotive engineering while offering specialisations central to the industry and research to meet these requirements.

Programme
The AE programme comprises a block of basic automotive courses which are compulsory for all students. The learning objective of these courses is to provide an automotive engineering knowledge platform from which the students can immerse themselves more deeply in a specialisation, be a part of an automotive project or choose to study courses from linked master programmes, all depending on interest.

The AE-programme should provide the students with potential to develop enhanced skills for analysis, synthesis and management of the automotive development process.

The course encourages students to develop
the social, political, economic and professional context that guides building construction.
briefs and how to critically appraise them to ensure that the design response is appropriate to site and context, and for reasons such as sustainability and budget.
the regulatory requirements, including the needs of the disabled, health and safety legislation and building regulations and development control, that guide building construction.
an appropriate philosophical approach which reveals an understanding of theory in a cultural context.
building technologies, environmental design and construction methods in relation to: human well-being, the welfare of future generations, the natural world, the consideration of a sustainable environment.
the impact on design of legislation, codes of practices and health and safety both during the construction and occupation of a project.
the influences on the contemporary built environment of individual buildings, the design of cities, past and present societies and wider global issues.
the histories and theories of architecture and urban design, the history of ideas, and the related disciplines of art, cultural studies and landscape studies and its application in critical debate.
the inter-relationship between people, buildings and the environment and an understanding of the need to relate buildings and the spaces between them to human needs and scale.
the relationship between design process, cultural context, theory, technology, and professional issues, and the design of environments

Admission requirements
Higher Education Entrance Qualification and specific courses within science and mathematics from upper secondary school is a requirement. Acceptance to the higher level is open to students with a 3-year Bachelor\’s degree in Technology/relevant education of at least 180 credits. This has to include at least 27 credits of Mathematics (including Math 3, from an engineering college). Applicants with relevant background for the specialisation can normally complete the programme in two years. For applicants with an educational background only partially relevant to the specialisation, the study period may exceed two years. The study program is taught in Norwegian and applicants who do not have Norwegian as their native language must document sufficient Norwegian skills (Bergenstesten) to be admitted.

Internationalisation, studies abroad and exhange agreements
The Institute recommends students to take a semester or a year abroad on one of our bilateral or ERASMUS agreements. This should preferably be done in the 4th year of study. Many scientists are active in international fora and this contributes to the development of their research area.Encouraging and arranging for study periods abroad is a valid contribution to increase the international aspect of the programme, A study period abroad may easily be included in the study programme if the student is interested, preferably in the fourth academic year.

Related studies
The study programme is related to similar study programmes in technology at NTNU and will lead to the same degree.

Learning goals
When graduating, the students should have acquired the academic qualifications that are necessary to become skilled employees in businesses where the combination of science and technology play an important part. They should have the theoretical basis needed to solve problems and acquire further knowledge on their own. They should have practical skills in current technology and methodology so that they immediately can be engaged in productive work. It is stressed that the students acquire basic knowledge, skills and attitudes within each of the main areas aesthetics, utility function and construction. Knowledge of aesthetics shall secure beautiful buildings that harmonise with the natural surroundings and other buildings in the area, including valuable tradition. It shall also contribute so that the building serves its purpose in an effective way, while the interior at the same time is decorative and appropriate. The construction must make the building safe and lasting under the weight and climatic influences it may be exposed to. The students will practise this synthesis, based on insight into each subject area. Upon graduation, the students are to know how to visualise the building by using 2D and 3D graphic representation of the building objects (freehand and DAK). They shall also know how to use FEM software for constructive dimensioning after Norsk Standard NS or Euronorm, plus other relevant software used in the building process different stages. Cultural-historical awareness and introduction to architecture are emphasised. At the same time, economic insight and competitiveness within the safe framework required in the laws and regulations are also emphasised. Event-history analyses of the buildings environmental effects and energy demands provide awareness of the superior contexts, and can be related to political or ethical purposes.

Teaching and evaluation methods
The programme includes the following teaching methods: 1) Lectures. 2) Lectures given by the students in connection with presentation of their semester papers. During the work on their Master\’s theses, meetings are arranged where the students present their work. 3) Demonstrations. 4) Group work in relation to topics, methods, computer-models. 5) Exercises taken from previous examination papers or other relevant exercises. 6) Analyses in laboratory. 7) Participation in seminars. Excursions. 9) Study trips.Some courses have a written examination, while others have an oral examination. Grades (A-F) are mostly used, but also passed/failed in some courses. Assessment of completed assignments (with high relevance for the profession) is considered to be a very natural evaluation method, and will still be used extensively. In the final part of the programme, the students will do an independent assignment that shall show their understanding, reflection and maturity.

A critical approach of the Monash Interior Architecture course is its balance between experimental, creative design and building technology.

If architecture is concerned with the large scale issues of the city, the specialisation of interior architecture considers the human scale and experiences inherent in the public and privates spaces of that city; it is an expression of our encounter with the world. As interior architects, we are concerned with authentic architectural experience, and the development of a multi-sensory approach to architectural space which facilitates a sense of belonging and integration. We create spaces from the point of view of the occupant or participant.

Interior architecture owes as much to the theory and practice of art, philosophy and psychology as it does to architecture and design. The Bachelor of Interior Architecture course focuses on cultural, institutional, commercial and domestic architectural space. A strong focus on creative, conceptual design is complemented by work on building construction and design communication skills for professional practice.

The interior architecture studio units are supported by specialist units in spatial theory, behavioural psychology, structures and services, building construction and materials, communication media, ergonomics, model making, furniture design, computer-aided design, professional practice and a strong industry based learning program.
