Joint International Master in Smart Systems Integrated Solutions (SSIs)
Smart Systems are miniaturized systems, combining data processing with multi-modal (optical, biological, mechanical) sensing, actuation and communication functions.
Smart Systems are a key driving force for a range of rapidly emerging intelligent and autonomous systems and objects such as self-driving cars, artificial pancreas, Internet of Things (IoT), M2M-enabled advanced manufacturing robots or wellness armbands.
The MSc in Smart Systems Integrated Solutions enables you to become an expert in tomorrow’s technology and study in the leading technical institutions of three European countries!
The 120 ECTS SSIs MSc Programme is studied over four semesters, the students will spend one semester at each of the three universities, taking full advantage of the recognized expertise, the research and educational facilities of each university.
The curriculum is designed to provide a general understanding of smart systems integration with a strong emphasis on design practice. This approach is fulfilled by teaching solid theoretical knowledge reflecting the main socio-economic challenges of future engineers (sustainability, life-cycle assessment and design for reliability), and state of the art design methods for highly efficient engineering products (system level design, Multiphysics modelling).
The unique infrastructure available in the three universities (clean room facilities, advanced material and microstructural analysis laboratories, state of the art computer aided design tools) adds modern engineering practice to the theoretical basis.
An innovative concept of this programme is the learning-by-doing approach delivered in the framework of a design project that runs over three semesters.
This element gives an opportunity for the students to work on a long term, multi-field and multinational project with design, fabrication and characterization.
Starting from a conceptual design and understanding of the market needs, the goal of this project by the end of the third semester is to build up and demonstrate a functional prototype of an actual system.
