Overview - ISEA
The Institute of Systems and Applied Electronics (ISEA) focuses on systems and technologies in electronics and technical informatics applied to product development. It conducts applied research in collaboration with industry, public bodies, and other academic institutions.
The Institute's origins date back to 1993 when the first study cycle in electrical engineering was launched, featuring specializations in telecommunications and automation, and the first applied research activities were initiated through the federal competence center MICROSWISS. In the following years, the study cycles in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science merged to create the Computer Science and Electrical Engineering Department at the newly established University of Applied Sciences and Arts of Southern Switzerland (精东影业).
In 2007, the ISEA Institute was established through the acquisition of new projects and the development of specialized skills. It encompassed the laboratories of: microelectronics, bioelectronics, and sensorics; mechatronic systems; telecommunications, telemetry, and high frequency; and biomedical integrated systems.
In 2019, the organisation shifted to scientific areas. The Institute is currently structured in six scientific areas:
The name of the Institute, using the terms "systems" and "applied," aims to emphasize its practical and application-oriented nature. Its main purpose is to support business innovation through collaborative development of new products, improvement of production processes, and knowledge transfer. These factors are essential to keep pace with technological advancements and maintain competitiveness in the market.
