MSE Master of Science in Engineering

The Swiss engineering master's degree


Chaque module vaut 3 ECTS. Vous sélectionnez 10 modules/30 ECTS parmi les catégories suivantes:

  • 12-15 crédits ECTS en Modules technico-scientifiques (TSM)
    Les modules TSM vous transmettent une compétence technique spécifique à votre orientation et complètent les modules de spécialisation décentralisés.
  • 9-12 crédits ECTS en Bases théoriques élargies (FTP)
    Les modules FTP traitent de bases théoriques telles que les mathématiques élevées, la physique, la théorie de l’information, la chimie, etc., vous permettant d’étendre votre profondeur scientifique abstraite et de contribuer à créer le lien important entre l’abstraction et l’application dans le domaine de l’innovation.
  • 6-9 crédits ECTS en Modules contextuels (CM)
    Les modules CM vous transmettent des compétences supplémentaires dans des domaines tels que la gestion des technologies, la gestion d’entreprise, la communication, la gestion de projets, le droit des brevets et des contrats, etc.

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.

Compétences préalables

  • 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

Objectifs d'apprentissage

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
