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.

Engineering of Industrial Robots (TSM_IndRobot)

 

The course targets technical and application challenges related to the design of advanced robotic solutions for industrial and service applications. It addresses the design, engineering and optimization of serial and parallel kinematics robotic arms, as well as of mobile platforms.

 

The course will cover theoretical content and practical activities of mechanical design, programming and simulation, as well as laboratory experiences with real hardware

 

Industrial use cases and service use cases will be addressed during the application/laboratory activities, specifically dealing with cutting-edge solutions and challenging markets demanding advanced robotic platform.

 

The laboratory ctivities will involve the use of industrial robots, cobots, and both commercial and experimental mobile platforms (wheeled and legged), to demonstrate course topics and to support the students in developing their projects and testing some of the designed hardware solutions.
