MSE Master of Science in Engineering

The Swiss engineering master's degree


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.

Managing complexity and innovation in aviation (TSM_CompAvi)

Macro: Role of innovation within aviation industry, growth-driven economy, National Innovation Systems, mission oriented policies, the entrepreneurial state, role of SDGs, competitive forces

Micro: Role of innovation at firm and entrepreneur levels

Appreciation and understanding of complexity and complex systems, particularly from an innovation perspective, identifying and understanding problems and identifying solutions through entrepreneurial methods.

Measuring, visualising and modelling complex systems, including networks.

Methods for protecting and exploiting ideas, incl. patents, trade secrets, standards, lobbying.

Methods and principles of innovation incl. open innovation, technology readiness assessments (TRA), technology roadmaps, biomimicry, technological determinism and momentum, serendipity, uncertainty, risks vs. rewards, business model innovation, business model canvas.

Failures, frauds and fiascos – a closer look and where innovation can go wrong and methods of mitigation (e.g. whistleblowing).

Students will also develop and present an elevator pitch of an innovation based on techniques learned in the course.

Based on availability, experts from industry will be invited to share their experiences on related topics.

Lernziele

Understand and enhance performance in complex systems. Cope with interdependence and uncertainly. Develop new solutions in a complex market.

Assess potential for innovation: Take advantage of opportunities, avoid unnecessary risks.

Balance multiple requirements: political, economic, social, technological legal and environmental.

Ultimately: understand and respect that meaning of innovation in a complex world -- and that innovation is not merely about novelty, or is it a buzzword.
