Bachelor in Microengineering
Microengineering is very much a field of macroscopic effects. As the archetype of innovation, located at the crossroads of mechanics, electronics, science of materials and IT, microengineering has become vital to numerous industrial sectors: production technology, biomedical science, robotics and many more. Qualification as a microengineer is the guarantee of embarking on a varied and multidisciplinary career.
The role of microtechnical engineers is first and foremost a question of harnessing the physical laws which govern the miniaturization processes. It is perhaps robotics which best exemplifies this intersection of different disciplines: Even if robots are not yet miniaturized, their operating principle is based on the combination and coordination of mechanical, electronic, optical, or computing components.
The numerous and different areas of microtechnical engineers’ work are, as a result, often closely linked to industrial production: this situation means that they need to find production techniques that are both efficient (robotics, atomization, assembly techniques, etc.) and financially viable for their purposes. The development of these techniques often relies specifically on the use or development of tools that themselves come from microengineering.
