The '''Norwegian Institute of Technology''', known by its [[Norwegian language|Norwegian]] abbreviation '''NTH''' (''Norges Teknisketekniske Høgskole'') was a science institute in [[Trondheim]], [[Norway]]. It was established in 1910, and existed as an independent technical university for 85 years, after which it was merged into the [[University of Trondheim]] as an independent college. In 1996 NTH ceased to exist as an organizational superstructure when the university was restructured and rebranded. The former NTH departments are now basic building blocks of the [[Norwegian University of Science and Technology|Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU)]].
 
NTH was primarily a [[institute of technology|polytechnic]] institute, educating master level [[engineer]]s as well as [[architect]]s. In 1992 NTH had 7627 master and doctoral students and 1591 employees; it graduated 1262 chartered engineers (master level), 52 chartered architects, and 92 Dr.Ing. (Ph.D.). The operating budget was equivalent to [[United States dollar|USD]] 100 [[million|M]], and the total premises amounted to around 260,000 m² (64 [[acre]]s).
