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.

Materials and Surfaces (TSM_MatSurf)

The interdisciplinary field of materials science and engineering covers approaches to improving the synthesis of new materials, to understanding their surfaces and main properties and, in particular, to adapting their properties to meet special requirements. The aim of this course is to teach students the fundamental principles necessary to understand the relationships between structure and property in material development.

Eintrittskompetenzen

The course requires knowledge of general physics, general chemistry and mathematics. Basic knowledge of the materials science and technology of metals, ceramics and organic materials is also necessary.

Lernziele

Students acquire comprehensive knowledge about the use of modern materials and their properties. Where appropriate, state-of-the-art problems are covered in the form of examples. Students understand the concepts of the structures, from bonding through to the microstructure and then learn to consider the correlations between structure and property. Examples are also presented for discussing how to influence these relationships between structure and property in the development of materials.

The aims of the course are as follows:

  • Teaching students the fundamental mechanisms of materials science and materials technology.
  • Teaching students the basic concepts regarding the correlations between structure, properties and processing of all the different material classes.
  • Teaching students the importance of quantifying and characterising properties and phenomena
