Curriculum

The degree comprises two categories of modules, i.e.

  • engineering modules - all engineering module are electives
  • economics and language modules: these are relevant for all profiles

You may select modules to focus on a specific aspect of electronics. To qualify for one of the profiles, course modules and thesis have to be acknowledged for this profile. You are also free to study without profile to cover the highest flexibility.

In general, the modules comprise lectures with integrated exercises in small groups, seminars, laboratory work and projects/case studies. Assessments are usually at the end of each semester.

Thesis work can be conducted in industry, research agencies or in the university laboratories.

  • Language of instruction is English, language modules are offered as part of the curriculum. An academic advisor assigned to each student will assist in selection of modules and provide general academic guidance.

  • Credits according to the European Credit Transfer System (ECTS) are allocated to each module. 1 ECTS CP corresponds to 30 working hours. One semester equals 30 CP in 6 months. The study program comprises a total student work load of 90 credits for three semesters. It consists of two taught semesters, followed by one semester reserved for the Master’s Thesis.

    For the two taught semesters, the workload of 60 credits is distributed as follows:

    • Engineering modules, 48 credits
    • Non-technical modules (economics and/or language), 12 credits

    Modules are selected within the limits listed above, and they must be completed successfully to obtain the indicated credits. The modules are subject to availability, development in engineering disciplines and changes in the educational concept.

  • In Intelligent sensors & Instrumentation profile you get in depth knowledge in intelligent sensors as well as in automated measurement/process control using electronical, optical and acoustical principles.

    Miniaturised, intelligent and networked sensors and actuators are the basis for IIoT, Industry 4.0 and numerous future applications with machine learning and artificial intelligence.

    Integrating signal processing, inferential statistics and ML/AI methods on sensor or edge level enables to build autonomous systems and efficient IIOT solutions.

    Intelligent sensors:

    • Incorporate signal processing capabilities
    • Perform data preprocessing
    • Communicate via a variety of interfaces
    • Decide at machine/process level
    • Reduce amount of data sent to cloud
    • Connect sensors, machines, SCADA, ERP and humans

    Intelligent sensors use

    • Digital signal processing
    • Machine Learning
    • Artificial Intelligence
    • Wired/wireless communication
  • Microsystems Engineering deals with design and manufacturing of micorelectronic devices and microsystems.

  • Communication Systems Engineering deals with design of wireless-, satellite-, underwater- and fibre optic communication systems.
    Besides sound background of signal processing skills, its use especially in aerospace and underwater application is in focus.
