- Description/content
- IMPORTANT NOTICE:
Students interested in the Microelectronics and Nanoelectronics major have to apply for the Master's degree programme in “Electrical Engineering and Information Technology”. Once accepted and enrolled, they can choose any one of the five majors (Microelectronics and Nanoelectronics, Systems and Automation, Communications Engineering, Electrical Power Engineering, Biomedical Systems Engineering).
The domain- and subject-specific skills and competences attained at the Master's level in electrical engineering and information technology build upon the skills and competences from the Bachelor's level. Within the field of microelectronics and nanoelectronics, graduate coursework provides a high level of specialisation, research-related training, and in-depth, domain-specific knowledge at a professional level. The field of microelectronics and nanoelectronics is a cross-disciplinary field covering knowledge and skills from other specialisations, such as biomedical engineering, computer engineering, and information and communication technology as well as electrical power engineering and the interactions with the following topics specific to microelectronics and nanoelectronics:
• devices, sensors, actuators, measurement instrumentation, and technology for fabrication
• analogue, mixed-signal, high frequency, and digital circuit design
• architecture, systems, and selected applications of VLSI systems
In many aspects, the field of microelectronics and nanoelectronics is a system science. Graduates will be able...
• to apply theoretical concepts of system identification, modelling, and optimisation
• to take technical-scientific questions from practice, to understand the problems, to formulate them, and then communicate them to others in an appropriate way
• to analyse engineering and technology questions and formulate solutions
• to understand the impact of design activities on the life cycle of products
• to adequately report results and work practices both in writing and verbally using current technical language and terminology in order to persuade others about the benefits of new ideas and inventions
• to communicate adequately in their native language and in English
