1. CONTENT AND STRUCTURE OF THE MASTER ESM The master study course Embedded Systems for Mechatronics leads to a degree which qualifies individuals both in the field of scientific research as well as in areas of professional practice. They are being prepared for technical careers but also for senior management assignments in technical projects. Furthermore, a subsequent career in academic research is also an option. If the master s Examination has been passed, Dortmund University of Applied Sciences and Arts, Fachhochschule Dortmund, awards the degree Master of Engineering (M.Eng.). It confirms that the students have acquired the advanced professional expertise as well as the methodological and key skills required in order to work independently in their profession, and that they are capable to work independently in an entrepreneurial context on the basis of scientific findings and methods. The master programme will be completed in 4 semesters within the standard course duration. A teaching programme with compulsory courses in the first and second semester provides basic competences and enables the studentes to develop their distinctive profile within the scope of their main focus areas. This is combined with a 2 semester research phase with electives and thesis projects. Through the subject range offered by the Ruhr Master School (RMS), the compulsory elective studies are integrated in a cross-university network. This offer is completed by international, project-oriented components and summer schools as well as symposia. The workload for the course of studies amounts to a total of 3,600 hours (900 hours per semester), including time for the master s thesis. To successfully complete the course of studies, a total of 120 credit points according to the European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System (ECTS) must be obtained.
