MSE Master of Science in Engineering

The Swiss engineering master's degree


Ogni modulo equivale a 3 crediti ECTS. È possibile scegliere un totale di 10 moduli/30 ECTS nelle seguenti categorie: 

  • 12-15 crediti ECTS in moduli tecnico-scientifici (TSM)
    I moduli TSM trasmettono competenze tecniche specifiche del profilo e si integrano ai moduli di approfondimento decentralizzati.
  • 9-12 crediti ECTS in basi teoriche ampliate (FTP)
    I moduli FTP trattano principalmente basi teoriche come la matematica, la fisica, la teoria dell’informazione, la chimica ecc. I moduli ampliano la competenza scientifica dello studente e contribuiscono a creare un importante sinergia tra i concetti astratti e l’applicazione fondamentale per l’innovazione 
  • 6-9 crediti ECTS in moduli di contesto (CM)
    I moduli CM trasmettono competenze supplementari in settori quali gestione delle tecnologie, economia aziendale, comunicazione, gestione dei progetti, diritto dei brevetti, diritto contrattuale ecc.

Systems engineering of safety critical systems (TSM_SafeSys)

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 system 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
  • Validation and verification of complex function
  • Coordination of teams

In this module the students will have an overview of Safety Critical Systems and related engineering activities and how these actitivties must be planned and executed in order to lead to successful certification and continued airworthiness.

Requisiti

The students are expcted to have basic knowledge of aircraft engineering such as:

  • Aerodynamics
  • Aircaft Structures
  • Understanding of Aircraft Systems
  • Understanding of Aircraft Propulsion
  • Basic concepts of Maintenance
  • Safety:
    • System Safety
    • Safety Process

 

Obiettivi di apprendimento

Understand core engineering and human-centered disciplines necessary to successful design, development and continued airworthiness of Safety Critical Systems (SCS).

The student are expected to acquire the following competencies:

  • Understanding of safety critical system
  • Understanding of system engineering principles
  • Understanding of system components qualification
  • Understanding of aircraft certification process
  • System Thinking
