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.

Materials Selection and Design (TSM_MatSelDes)

Materials offer immense opportunities for innovation. However, advance is possible only if a procedure exists for making a rational choice from the materials and a method of identifying ways to shape, join, and finish them.

The objective of this course is to develop a systematic procedure for selecting materials and processes, leading to the subset that best matches the requirements of a design. The structure gives rapid access to data and allows the user great freedom in exploring potential choices. The method is implemented in the GRANTA CES EduPack software to provide greater flexibility: it enhances the learning experience and provides a solid grounding in many of the domains of expertise specified by the various professional engineering accreditation bodies (analysis of components, problem-solving, design and manufacturing , economic, societal and environmental impacts).
