Micro and Nanosystems

 

 

Micro and nanosystems are systems or devices that integrate electronic and non-electronic elements, functioning at the micro or nano scale. The Department of Mechanical and Process Engineering (D-MAVT) and the Department of Information Technology and Electrical Engineering (D-ITET) combine efforts in a joint Master program in Micro and Nanosystems. Education in this field concentrates on the synthesis of electrical and mechanical engineering.

Companies which utilize technology and system integration require a new generation of engineers who are familiar with a broad range of natural and engineering sciences. These engineers must create and drive innovation for new business opportunities.

The Master of Science program in Micro- and Nanosystems offers since 20067 a future-oriented education to outstanding bachelor graduates from all over the world The interdisciplinary curriculum is centered on mechanical and electrical engineering courses of importance for micro and nanosystems engineers, complemented by courses in physics, chemistry, biology, material science, computational science, business administration and management.

Starting in HS2010 (autumn semester), a new updated and upgraded program structure will be offered, as a response to student feedback and the suggestions and comments of the tutors involved. The content of the program remains unchanged.
