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.

Optical engineering and metrology (TSM_OpEngMe)

The TSM module "Optical engineering and metrology" will provide the students with knowledge of numerous engineering and practical aspects of optical components, instruments, and metrology systems. Starting from seemingly simple optical components (mirrors, lenses, gratings, filters), the module covers high tech novelties on how to improve those components and bring them to the new level. Building up on those concepts, we will discuss more complex components, including acousto-optic, electro-optic, and liquid crystal modulators, as well as simpler systems like objectives and spectrometers. The module will be completed with methods applied in industry for measuring and diagnostics of various processes, including industrial interferometry, spectroscopy, imaging, and precise distance measurements.

Compétences préalables

Optics: Basics of wave and geometrical optics;

Without optics basics during bachelor studies, the EVA “Fundamentals of light” should be visited before visiting further TSM modules.

Physics: Basics for engineers (bachelor niveau)

Objectifs d'apprentissage

After successfully completing this module, the students should:

  • understand the principles and know engineering aspects of basic optical components,
  • be able to choose the appropriate optical element (including appropriate coating) for their tasks,
  • know the principles of optical instruments and understand how some simple optical instruments operate,
  • understand some optical metrology and microscopy methods, typically used in industry,
  • be able to choose the appropriate optical diagnostics method for their process.
