Sciences and Technologies to progress toward miniaturization
Microengineering is the art and science of creating, designing, integrating and manufacturing miniature components, instruments and systems.
The main characteristic of this domain is its multidisciplinary nature ; a microengineering system integrates electronic and mechanical elements with computational, chemical and optical elements, as well as with various materials. Furthermore, a device's manufacturing aspects are as important to microengineering as it function.
The master in Microengineering at EPFL is an ideal training towards innovative applications in highly attractive sectors, e.g. portable communication devices, biomedical devices, and the watch industry.
