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.

Advanced User Interfaces (TSM_UseInf)

Graphical User Interfaces have long become standard UIs for computers, and mobile devices have not only adopted these GUIs but augmented them with multi-touch screens, speech in- and output, gesture, handwriting recognition, and several additional sensors. This has fostered innovative ways of user interaction with the information available on these devices that were only been seen in professional environments so far. In the professional environment, the trend has further developed into more and more immersive systems where the user dives more or less entirely into a virtual world to interact with the vast amount of available information efficiently. In these scenarios, true hand tracking is gaining significant momentum vs. glove-based tracking systems.

This module gives a solid introduction to the fundamental concepts and techniques of both advanced user interfaces with different input and output channels and interaction modalities, as well as immersive systems with haptic interaction. Insight into developing these advanced user interfaces and immersive systems with hand-tracking interaction will be given through hands-on exercises.

Compétences préalables

  • Basic principles of human cognition and human-machine interaction
  • Basic knowledge of graphical user interfaces.
