Sivilingeniør
Sivilingeniør (shortened siv.ing), is a legally protected engineering title awarded by technical universities in Norway. To qualify for the title, a student must follow a structured study programme in technology and natural sciences of 5 years duration (4.5 years before 2002) at a Norwegian university or university college. Previously it was also a degree in and of itself, though today it is the equivalent of a Master of Science or Master of Technology degree. 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. This changed in 2003 after criticism from Norwegian universities. Since 2003 the title ''Sivilingeniør'' has been used in addition to t ...

The Book of Numbers, Chapter 21, and Deuteronomy, Chapter 3, continues: Next we turned and headed for the land of Bashan, where King Og and his entire army attacked us at Edrei.
