Students + your project = Smart

Student projects are ideal to explore new ideas, gain knowledge and increase your company’s innovation capacity.

Western Norway University of Applied Sciences (HVL) is requesting assignments for bachelor projects for students in general mechanical engineering, energy technology, marine engineering, industrial engineering, subsea and ocean technology.

HVL is also increasing their offerings within Master-level students.

Students helped Entech

– It is always rewarding to collaborate with students, says Jan Tore Tveranger, CTO at Entech,  who engaged three students from HVL to help identifying the function and potential pitfalls of a tool used in drilling operations as part of their Bachelor thesis.

– They provide new insights and shed light on our technology from other angles, merging theoretical knowledge with industry experience. This year’s group of students have proven themselves to catch on to the technology very fast and are already providing valuable input for our procedures going forward, he explains.
