Jedes Modul umfasst 3 ECTS. Sie wählen insgesamt 10 Module/30 ECTS in den folgenden Modulkategorien:
- 12-15 ECTS in Technisch-wissenschaftlichen Modulen (TSM)
TSM-Module vermitteln Ihnen profilspezifische Fachkompetenz und ergänzen die dezentralen Vertiefungsmodule. - 9-12 ECTS in Erweiterten theoretischen Grundlagen (FTP)
FTP-Module behandeln theoretische Grundlagen wie die höhere Mathematik, Physik, Informationstheorie, Chemie usw. Sie erweitern Ihre abstrakte, wissenschaftliche Tiefe und tragen dazu bei, den für die Innovation wichtigen Bogen zwischen Abstraktion und Anwendung spannen zu können. - 6-9 ECTS in Kontextmodulen (CM)
CM-Module vermitteln Ihnen Zusatzkompetenzen aus Bereichen wie Technologiemanagement, Betriebswirtschaft, Kommunikation, Projektmanagement, Patentrecht, Vertragsrecht usw.

Modelling, simulation and optimization are fundamental to solving problems in a number of fields of science, technology and life. Students will learn to design, implement, simulate, and optimize a model of dynamic system. Simulation, the exploration of the dynamic behavior of the model in time and space, is discussed for both continuous and discrete-event systems. Simulating a model allows the evaluation of indicators of the performance of the modelled system, improving our understanding of its behavior and dynamic complexity.
Eintrittskompetenzen
Basic knowledge of
- Calculus (differential and difference equations)
- Linear Algebra (vectors, matrices, change of basis, matrix inversion, computation of eigenvalues)
Lernziele
The main aim of the course is to understand the pervasive feedback principles that rule the world we live in. Thanks to the acquired competencies, the successful student is expected to be able to tackle problems where temporal dynamics plays a major role. The student will learn about alternative and complementary modelling paradigms: from difference and differential equations for continuous time modelling to queuing systems and discrete event systems for discrete event modelling. The student will be then able to formalise the problem thanks to a dynamical model formulation, implement a simulation of the model, and explore the space of alternative behaviours of the system in order to synthesise a possibly optimal management and control strategy.
