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.

Modelling for aviation infrastructure and future mobility (TSM_ModAvi)

The course will focus on operational and infrastructure topics and the optimization of complex systems in terms of delay, capacity issues and future developments in aviation.  

Future developments and important upcoming topics in the airline industry will be addressed, such as unmanned aircraft systems, new approaches in business models or passenger operations.  

Compétences préalables

The students are expected to have knowledge on a basic level in:

  • Descriptive statistic (but not a requirement)
  • Aviation in general (but not a requirement)

Objectifs d'apprentissage

The students will be able to understand state-of-the-art methods for operations in aviation in general but also new methods e.g. machine learning, deep learning and different approaches in meta-heuristic optimization.

Obtain the ability of modelling and simulation of resources (crews, fleets, passengers) for network planning, data processing and capacity issues.

Improving the presentation competencies to report complex modelling results to the decision makers.  Achieving the ability to apply "what has been learnt" to future developments.

The students will learn how to design and plan infrastructures and operation in terms of capacity, delay management, and revenue managements.

Students will be able to assess future developments in the airline industry, classify them and react appropriately.

Catégorie de module

The course starts with a brief introduction in the infrastructural set-up of aviation systems in terms of capacity, demand and operational issues.

Basic concept in operation management will be briefly repeated, which then are used to deepening the knowledge for important topics such as capacity planning, airline transport management, airline revenue management, and overall mathematical optimization methods.

The last part of the course will be dedicated to the future development in the airline industry with a focus on operational methods, upcoming transport techniques and new infrastructure approaches.
