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.

Integrated Automation (TSM_IntAuto)

In an automation system in manufacturing technology or process automation, sensors measure non-electric values and actuators, such as drives, influence the process. The individual components are controlled by control systems and automatic controllers, connected with industrial networks, and supervised by humans.

The emphasis of this module is on the selection and determination of the individual components, bearing in mind functional aspects, with special attention to functional safety.

Eintrittskompetenzen

  • Basic principles of automation technology
  • Basic principles of communication technology, e.g. OSI Reference Model, Ethernet, TCP/IP etc.
  • Basic principles of statistics and random variables

Lernziele

The student will be able to :

  • establish the specifications of an integrated mechatronic system, including the sensors, the actuators, and the control systems;
  • master the operation of electric drives for automated processes; be able to choose a motor with its controls according to the applications;
  • select and to integrate technologies of sensors according to applications;
  • determine a suitable communication system for an automation task on the basis of functions and performance parameters;
  • designate the evaluation criteria for the application of user interfaces;
  • plan and size an Ethernet-based network;
  • calculate comprehensive parameters (MTBF, MTTF, MTU…) on the basis of statistical data;
  • complete a risk analysis
