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.

Applied Electromagnetics (TSM_AppElm)

This module offers a comprehensive introduction and provides fundamental tools for electromagnetic field theory, up to modern numerical methods for solving the field equations and state-of-the-art simulation techniques. The global objective is to provide a deep theoretical knowledge in electromagnetic field from low frequency domain (required for electrical machines as example) up to radio- frequency domain (required in domains of RF-antennas).


Eintrittskompetenzen
