MSE Master of Science in Engineering

The Swiss engineering master's degree


Ogni modulo equivale a 3 crediti ECTS. È possibile scegliere un totale di 10 moduli/30 ECTS nelle seguenti categorie: 

  • 12-15 crediti ECTS in moduli tecnico-scientifici (TSM)
    I moduli TSM trasmettono competenze tecniche specifiche del profilo e si integrano ai moduli di approfondimento decentralizzati.
  • 9-12 crediti ECTS in basi teoriche ampliate (FTP)
    I moduli FTP trattano principalmente basi teoriche come la matematica, la fisica, la teoria dell’informazione, la chimica ecc. I moduli ampliano la competenza scientifica dello studente e contribuiscono a creare un importante sinergia tra i concetti astratti e l’applicazione fondamentale per l’innovazione 
  • 6-9 crediti ECTS in moduli di contesto (CM)
    I moduli CM trasmettono competenze supplementari in settori quali gestione delle tecnologie, economia aziendale, comunicazione, gestione dei progetti, diritto dei brevetti, diritto contrattuale ecc.

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.

Requisiti

Modelling methods

Obiettivi di apprendimento

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.
