MSE Master of Science in Engineering

The Swiss engineering master's degree

Jedes Modul umfasst 3 ECTS. Sie wählen insgesamt 10 Module/30 ECTS in den folgenden Modulkategorien:

  • ​​​​12-15 ECTS in Technisch-wissenschaftlichen Modulen (TSM)
    TSM-Module vermitteln Ihnen profilspezifische Fachkompetenz und ergänzen die dezentralen Vertiefungsmodule.
  • 9-12 ECTS in Erweiterten theoretischen Grundlagen (FTP)
    FTP-Module behandeln theoretische Grundlagen wie die höhere Mathematik, Physik, Informationstheorie, Chemie usw. Sie erweitern Ihre abstrakte, wissenschaftliche Tiefe und tragen dazu bei, den für die Innovation wichtigen Bogen zwischen Abstraktion und Anwendung spannen zu können.
  • 6-9 ECTS in Kontextmodulen (CM)
    CM-Module vermitteln Ihnen Zusatzkompetenzen aus Bereichen wie Technologiemanagement, Betriebswirtschaft, Kommunikation, Projektmanagement, Patentrecht, Vertragsrecht usw.

Fundamentals of Energy and Environment (TSM_FundEnEn)

  • Presenting all energy vectors with respect to their usage on temporal, spatial and sectorial levels
  • Introducing all energy conversion technologies from both historic and systemic perspectives, based on robust basis of technical description of characteristics, operation, dimensioning and design
  • Developing sensitivity to scales, temperature levels of energy-related processes, resources harvesting based on concrete examples from residential and industrial sectors in particular
  • Uncovering multi-dimensionality of environmental impacts on air, ground and water, including basic quantitative assessment methods for selected pollutants
  • * Discussion on environmental footprint factors and their comparison in both quantitative as well as qualitative perspectives

 

 

 


Eintrittskompetenzen

As pre-requisites, the fundamental notions of

power, energy and the related conservation laws must be mastered. In

parallel, basic notions of thermodynamics and materials science should be at

least conceptually acquired.


Lernziele

The aims of the present introductory module are multiple:

 

  • Give a comparative, multi-scale overview of all energy vectors and conversion technologies
  • Identify energy usage sectors and their distinctive needs
  • Insist on the importance of spatio-temporal scales in the study of energy systems
  • Introduce the concept of environemental impact based on quantitative and qualitative indicators
