- Description/content
- Microsystems engineering is the engineering discipline with the broadest focus: elements from mathematics, physics, chemistry, electrical engineering and materials science form the cornerstones of exciting innovations.
Microsystems engineering – a versatile technology that industries can no longer do without
The products we deal with on a daily basis are becoming ever smaller, more powerful, smarter, more connected and more independent. Often, however, the sensors and systems that are in these everyday objects are so miniaturised that they are nearly invisible. That is precisely the reason they have taken a foothold in most industries.
A lot of the products and systems within such sectors as the automobile industry, medical services, communications and energy are unimaginable today without microsystems engineering, making your career as a microsystems engineer a versatile and exciting choice!
Your benefits as a Microsystems Engineering student:
• Study at one of the world’s largest and leading academic research centres in the field of microsystems engineering.
• With around 440 students and 22 professors, we offer an excellent student-teacher ratio for optimal supervisory support.
• Using state-of-the-art equipment with a designated clean room, you will become familiar with working in this special laboratory environment.
The programme combines extensive coursework in advanced microsystems engineering with a concentration in one of the following subdisciplines:
• Circuits and Systems
• Biomedical Engineering
• Materials and Fabrication
• Photonics
The required Master's thesis will be based on project work performed directly in a professor's research group, giving the graduate extensive, hands-on experience using the state-of-the-art microsystems infrastructure at the Department of Microsystems Engineering (IMTEK).
