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.

Categoria modulo

Technologies are among the most important strategic and operational assets of product and process driven companies. The module deals with mastering technologies to enable companies to achieve competitive advantage and differentiation by sound Technology Management. The focus of the module is on management of technology throughout its lifecycle, thus complementing topics such as Innovation, Solution, Product and Project Management, covering strategic and operational aspects including technology evaluation, planning, development/provision, implementation, distribution, exploitation and dismantling (de- and re-manufacturing). Examples of new technologies will be considered in group work and discussed as practice examples. The module conveys comprehensive knowledge required for TM, e.g. technology trend analysis, technology scouting and recognition, technology roadmapping, lifecycle management, portfolio management, competitive strategies, protection, IPR- and knowledge management, corporate technology management, technology assessment, as well as technology communication and related aspects of effective stakeholder management.

Metodologie di insegnamento e apprendimento

The module is taught by theory inputs, illustrative examples, case studies, discussion of controversal questions and exercises. Content is applied in the context of a project assignment.
