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.

Biomedical Engineering (TSM_BioMedEng)

 

(1) The module's goal is to obtain a deeper understanding of biomedical engineering principles, the human musculoskeletal system, its function, and related biomechanical analysis, pathologies, possible treatment strategies in surgery and rehabilitation.

(2) Participants will obtain insight into basic requirements such as biology and physiology, materials used for implants and prostheses, and available biomaterials for skeletal tissue regeneration.

(3) Current clinical topics will be addressed, like osteoporosis, fracture fixation osteoarthritis, and neurorehabilitation. Treatment methods such as fracture fixation, primary stability, and joint replacements will be discussed besides.

(4) A more profound insight will be provided into technologies for human motion analysis (measurement technologies and performance analysis).

(5) The course will also discuss robot-assistive rehabilitation technologies in cases of neuropathology such as stroke, multiple sclerosis, and spinal cord injury.

 

Requisiti

 

Basic knowledge in cell biology, anatomy, functional anatomy and pathology (fracture, neuro, orthopaedics, osteosynthesis)
