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.

Quantitative Methods in Industrial Operations Management (TSM_QInOpMgmt)

Operations management is concerned with the design, operation and optimization of the value-adding areas of a company.
At the strategic level it includes in particular the design of infrastructure and resources, the dimensioning of capacity and the
definition of business processes. At an operational level, it includes ongoing planning and control of operational activities. The
aim is to achieve high business performance through clever organization and efficient use of resources.
In a first part an overview of the classical themes of Operations Management is given. In a second part selected methods of
quantitative Operations Management (see Operations Research) are applied to tasks of important areas (see. contents below)
of Operations Management. These tasks will be analyzed and optimized with the help of mathematical models.

Eintrittskompetenzen

Lernziele

  • The students have an overview of the various areas of Operations Management.
  • The students can classify operational issues in the tasks of the Operations Management (i.e. design or operations).
  • The students know selected quantitative methods and models of Operations Management.
  • The students can make use of the learned methods and are aware of the assumptions and restrictions of these.
  • The students can formulate practical questions from Operations Management as mathematical models.
