Sivilingeniør (shortened siv.ing), is a legally protected[1] engineering title awarded by technical universities in Norway.
Before 1992, it was considered by the Norwegian Institute of Technology (NTH) to be equivalent to a Master of Science degree.
Although the name is cognate with the English term civil engineer, the meanings do not correspond in modern usage.
The degree was not awarded in 2002, when the study program's length was expanded by six months, instead the title Master of Technology was used.
Traditionally only the Norwegian Institute of Technology (now part of NTNU) was allowed to educate sivilingeniørs in Norway.
