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.

Power Electronics Systems (TSM_PowElSys)

Building upon the students' fundamental knowledge in power electronics, this module covers current topics in the field of power electronics in greater depth. In the first part, the focus is on modern switched mode power conversion topologies, small signal modelling, control methods and the magnetic components. The second part looks into topologies, modulation schemes and control techniques for medium and high-power converters. One application discussed in greater depth is their application in power grids.

Eintrittskompetenzen

To attend the module, a good fundamental knowledge in electrical engineering is essential. In addition, a sound basis in power electronics and control technique is needed.

  • Power electronics: Characteristics, driving and application of power diodes, thyristors, MOS- field effect transistors, IGBT, as well as GTO-thyristors, are known.
  • The basic power electronics circuits, with and without galvanic isolation, are known and understood. E.g. boost and buck converter, flyback and forward converter, one- and three-phase self-commutated bridges with semiconductors having turn-off capability, line-commutated rectifiers.
  • System description with transfer function can be derived and represented in a Bode diagram. Additionally, a basic knowledge of descriptions in state space is useful.
    PI- controller design with help of the Bode diagram (or other methods) can be carried out.

Lernziele

The students are taught modelling methods, structure and control of power electronics circuits based on selected practical and realistic examples.
