This programme is for you who want to deepen your knowledge in the fundamentals of solid mechanics, fluid mechanics, and mechatronics with applications in green energy, design, robotics, offshore, and oil and gas. It consists of two semesters that can be taken individually or in consecutive semesters if you want to study at OsloMet for a whole year.
Admission requirements
You must be enrolled in a BSc programme in Mechanical Engineering or related subjects and have passed Mathematics, Physics and Mechanics courses on the BSc level.
How to apply
International exchange students select courses when applying for exchange.
The application deadline is 15 April for the autumn semester and 1 October for the spring semester.
Courses in the spring semester
Embedded Systems and Instrumentation (ELFT2500), 10 ECTS
Increased use of high-performance microcontrollers and microprocessors in manufacturing automation control systems, robots, home appliances, power tools, office equipment, implantable medical devices, remote controls and toys has caused the embedded systems segment of electronics to expand within the last few decades to dominate the computing.
Particularly, real-time embedded systems, fuelled by processor efficiency improvements and advancements in instrumentation such as sensors and actuators, have sustained steep growth globally in industrial automation, energy infrastructure, transportation, telecommunication, and healthcare applications.
The course covers the fundamentals of microcontroller hardware/software architecture, common types of instrumentation used to interact with the physical world of automation, and different types of embedded system interfaces that allow the partnership between processors and instrumentation to be effective in automation systems.
Sensors, measurement techniques, and important elements of industrial automation are studied, including examples of highly reliable robust PLC system hardware and programming.
Teaching methods
Lectures and laboratory assignments are central. The laboratory teaching is built to support classroom teaching and for hands-on practice with a number of products and solutions used in the industry.
A semester project consolidates the knowledge and skills from the entire semester.

Exam and assessment
Individual written exam, three hours.
Applied Fluid Mechanics (MASK3610), 10 ECTS
The course deals with theoretical and practical aspects of applied fluid mechanics. Some of the vital topics covered are the boundary layer concept, governing equations, incompressible flows, compressible flows, internal flow, external flow, dimensional analysis, and introduction to experimental fluid dynamics.
Teaching methods
Lectures, experimental lab exercises and assignments.

Exam and assessment
- Portfolio (counts 50 percent). The portfolio consists of two individual reports (word limit 1000 - 2000) based on relevant fluid mechanics problems.
- Three-hour written exam under supervision (counts 50 percent).
Structural Mechanics and Finite Element Analysis (MASK2300), 10 ECTS
In this course, you will learn about the mechanics of solids, with a focus on how structures behave under loading and deformation.
We will cover the forces acting on and within structures, as well as the physical properties of materials that govern the relationship between motion, deformation, and external forces.
Additionally, the course emphasizes the importance of failure prevention in mechanical design.
Overall, this course provides a balance of theoretical concepts and practical applications to give students a comprehensive understanding of the mechanics of solids.
Teaching methods
Lectures, exercise assignments, lab sessions and project assignments.
