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.

Building Information Modelling (BIM) (TSM_BIM)

 

The BIM method (VDC) comprises the digital planning, construction and operation of built assets using digital modelling in combination with suitable organizational forms and processes.

The digital building model is created in interdisciplinary collaboration with a specific goal. It includes both the geometric (3D) and the non-geometric information needed for the agreed uses.

The BIM method is used in the construction industry for project planning and execution (e.g. fundamentals [legal, geological/geotechnical], architecture, engineering, building services), in geomatics for capturing, modelling, tracking and managing building geometry, and in facilities management.


 

Requisiti

 

Bachelor degree in a technical or engineering discipline, Business Engineering, Computer Science or similar. Some basic knowledge of the BIM method would be an advantage. No knowledge of CAD required.


 

Obiettivi di apprendimento

In TSM_BIM, students will learn the basic principles of the BIM method. Aspects relevant to both construction (BIM) and geomatics (GeoBIM) will be examined.

The focus of the module is on the interdisciplinary use of digital building models.

After taking the TSM_BIM module, students will be able to formulate and record information requirements for simple digital building models, exchange the resulting data in the IFC open data exchange format and assess them in a targeted manner to obtain the desired information.

Instruction is also includes hands-on session, using digital building models and the appropriate BIM tools.
