MSE Master of Science in Engineering

The Swiss engineering master's degree

Chaque module vaut 3 ECTS. Vous sélectionnez 10 modules/30 ECTS parmi les catégories suivantes:

  • 12-15 crédits ECTS en Modules technico-scientifiques (TSM)
    Les modules TSM vous transmettent une compétence technique spécifique à votre orientation et complètent les modules de spécialisation décentralisés.
  • 9-12 crédits ECTS en Bases théoriques élargies (FTP)
    Les modules FTP traitent de bases théoriques telles que les mathématiques élevées, la physique, la théorie de l’information, la chimie, etc., vous permettant d’étendre votre profondeur scientifique abstraite et de contribuer à créer le lien important entre l’abstraction et l’application dans le domaine de l’innovation.
  • 6-9 crédits ECTS en Modules contextuels (CM)
    Les modules CM vous transmettent des compétences supplémentaires dans des domaines tels que la gestion des technologies, la gestion d’entreprise, la communication, la gestion de projets, le droit des brevets et des contrats, etc.

Contenu des modules

 

Technologies are among the most important strategic and operational assets of product and process driven companies. The module deals with managing  technologies to enable companies to achieve competitive advantage and differentiation by sound technological innovation management. The focus of the module is on management of technology throughout its lifecycle, thus complementing topics such as Strategy, Innovation, Solutions, Product and Service Management, covering strategic and operational aspects including technology evaluation, selection, planning, development/provision, implementation, distribution, exploitation. Examples of new technologies will be considered in the context of case studies of product/service innovations and discussed as group work. The module conveys comprehensive knowledge required for TM, e.g. technology trend analysis, technology scouting and recognition, technology roadmapping, lifecycle management, portfolio management, competitive strategies, protection, IPR- and knowledge management, corporate technology management and technology assessment. Each group will work on a case study of a real company and producing a technology roadmap as the main final semester project deliverable.

 

Méthodes d'enseignement et d'apprentissage

The module is taught by theory inputs, illustrative examples, case studies, discussion of controversal questions and exercises.The concept of flipped classroom is applied where possible. Content is applied in the context of a case-study based project assignment to be developed in a crossdiciplinary virtual team setting. Teams will present content using role-based pitching techniques.
