26 Premise 1: ICT represents one field (albeit broad and multi- faceted), and our portfolio of study programs within this field would benefit from a holistic approach Premise 2: When shaping our programs we should stress societal needs and ”an outside-in” view of our own teaching and educational activities Premise 3: Our current programs, shaped in the 90’s and earlier, were designed in a time when the field and the industrial sector that we serve – nationally and globally – were different, and young people and students had a different view of the field, different attitudes and perhaps even different strategies for learning.

27 The project involves all IME departments, the core participants being Computer and Information Science, Telematics, Engineering Cybernetics, Electronics and Telecommunication The project opens up the possibility of reshaping the portfolio of MSc programs within the field of ICT Fulfill the potential for synergy between different fields within IME (aligned with the ”Lighthouse projects”) as well as with relevant actors outside IME (NTNU, national and international collaborators)

28 6 subprojects: (1) Cooperation with Business and Industry (2) Study Structure (3) Recruitment (4) Educational Quality (5) Educational Collaboration (6) Resources The spring semester 2012 particularly intensive with studies and reviews as a foundation for the decisions to be made later June – December 2012: Decisions about program portfolio + curricula February/March 2013: International evaluation March 2013 – September 2013: Adjustments/further details and final decisions

29 Strengthening of the cooperation with business, industry, and public sector based on networks of relevant companies/actors Enhanced collaboration with students on educational quality and recruitment policy; improvement of the learning environment Sustainable balance between resources spent on teaching and research, including a sustainable portfolio of courses offered in the curricula Strengthening of national/international educational collaboration Strengthening of the visibility and possibilities for interdisciplinary opportunities in the study programs.

30 We are now receiving a number of ”deliveries” from the subprojects and work groups – a combination of (1) documentation/findings and (2) proposed actions. We are in the midst of absorbing and processing this input – a challenging and crucial stage of the FRIKT project.
