Buskerud University College offers a Master's program in Systems Engineering for engineering students with a practical approach and placement in the industry as an important part of the program.
Thus, high academic level is combined with practical experience from high-tech enterprises.
The program is conducted in collaboration with Stevens Institute of Technology (SIT) in New Jersey (U.S.), one of the world-leading research groups in Systems Engineering. International technology companies are participating in developing the programme, with the Kongsberg companies ahead.
Systems Engineering is a proven method for developing systems such as automotive and oil industry, in computing, networking, communications, research and development. Students with a Master's diploma in Systems Engineering will be eligible to participate in and lead the development of large complex products and systems which require many different disciplines involved.
The program is structured in three different models: Industrial Master, part-time study or individual courses. All models have the same academic content, but completion time and work load/credits differ from each model.
Alt.1: Industrial Master
This program is designed for candidates who have completed a Bachelor's degree and who are not yet full-time employed.
Students enrolled in this program will be temporarily employed in a salaried part-time position in a company, parallel to their studies.
The program includes one semester abroad (4th semester) at a partner institution, which gives an excellent opportunity for international networking for improving English language skills.
Alt. 2: Part-time study
This program is designed for candidates who are already full-time employed in a company.
Students participate in the program equally with Industrial master students, but are allowed to decide their own work load and progress as long as they participate, deliver project assignments and take examinations in the classes they have chosen.
Alt.3: Individual Course
Candidates who are looking for professional input, but don't want to study for a full Master's degree, can still sign up for participation in single courses. Individual course students do not take part in project assignments or examinations, but are still allowed to follow classes in the courses they have signed up for.
The program consists of the following elements:
- Core subjects in Systems Engineering
- Electives at BUC and other universities (preferably abroad)
- Master Thesis
- Internship in a company (Industrial Master Students)
- Individual work (Part-time Students)
An overview of the structure in the Industrial Master and the part-time program can be found here:
- Three-year Plan for Industrial Master
- Four Year Plan for Part-Time Program
All disciplines have some common core, basic sciences.
These are collective Systems Engineering Subjects.
Stevens Institute of Technology is responsible for these courses, in terms of both content and implementation.
Completion of the core subjects provides a 'Graduate Certificate in Systems Engineering and Architecting'.
Course descriptions for the core courses can be found here:
- SDOE 625 Fundamentals in Systems Engineering
- SDOE 650 System Arcitecture and Design
- SDOE 612 Project Management for Complex Systems
- SDOE 605 Systems Integration
In addition to the core courses in Systems Engineering, students must choose a specialization within one of the following areas:
- Control and Signal Processing
- Product Design
- Embedded Systems
- Systems Engineering
