The Swiss engineering master's degree

One of the biggest challenges encountered in management is recognizing opportunities and making use of them while giving consideration to the associated risks. The constantly increasing dynamism and complexity of the environment in which companies and organizations operate is, however, making it difficult to take successful decisions. Multifactorial correlations, non-linearities, feedback effects and time lags make…

Machine learning (ML) emerged out of artificial intelligence and computer science as the academic discipline concerned with “giving computers the ability to learn without being explicitly programmed” (A. Samuel, 1959). Today, it is the methodological driver behind the mega-trend of digitalization. ML experts are highly sought after in industry and academia alike.

This course builds upon basic knowledge in math,…

Safety-critical systems are those systems whose failure could result in loss of life. An aircraft such as an airliner has more than one safety critical systems.

The engineering activities required to design and manage these complex systems over their life cycles require a deep understanding of several disciplines and a systematic approach to problems such as:

• Requirements engineering
• Requirement based testing
• Validat…
