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.

Statistical Digital Signal Processing and Modeling (TSM_StatDig)

The goal of this module is to introduce the students to the powerful world of statistical digital signal processing. While at the bachelor level digital signal processing is most often taught with deterministic signals, in the real world most interesting signals are stochastic in nature. Hence in more advanced applications, such as prediction or noise removal, the theories presented in this module are essential.

The basic digital signal processing, linear algebra and probability theory necessary to understand the module are brushed-up at the beginning. Then stochastic processes are introduced which allows the proper formulation of the optimal filtering and spectral estimation problem later on. After an in-depth treatment of the optimal filtering and estimation problem, adaptive filters are introduced which are a popular choice for many advanced statistical digital signal processing problems.

Modulkategorie

The module starts with a review of basic digital signal processing, linear algebra and probability theory. It then introduces some concepts about stochastic processes, which are necessary to understand the following applications of statistical signal processing. Then the module discusses several different ways of signal modeling which can be used for parametric methods later on. Then one of the core topics is presented, which is the optimal linear mean square error estimation of a signal which is corrupted by additive noise. The module then presents a chapter about the very important topic of spectral estimation and finally concludes with the application of the learned theory for designing adaptive filters.
The available 14 weeks are organized as follows:
•    2 weeks: Background (review of digital signal processing and linear algebra)
•    3 weeks. Discrete-time random processes (including a review of probability)
•    2 weeks: Signal modeling
•    3 weeks: Wiener filtering (including the discrete Kalman Filter)
•    2 weeks: Spectrum estimation
•    2 weeks: Adaptive filtering

Lehr- und Lernmethoden

•    A three hour session each week for 14 weeks
•    The first hour is a homework review session where the homework is discussed. The homework is “paper and pencil” homework and small Matlab programming assignments
•    The next two hours are lecture hours, where new theory is introduced
