The Agroecology Design Studio addresses the challenge of transforming agriculture and food culture in the Zurich Metropolitan Area, in response to climate change, to provide local food, to improve biodiversity and to develop new governance systems involving local farmers and citizens. Agroecology plays a crucial role.

In this class, we bring together data science applicationsprovided by ETH researchers outside computer science andteams of computer science master's students. Two to threestudents will form a team working on data science/machinelearning-related research topics provided by scientists ina diverse range of domains such as astronomy, biology,social sciences etc.

In this class, we bring together data science applications provided by academic & industry stakeholders with teams of computer science master's students. Teams of students work on data science/machine learning-related research topics. Teams consist of two to three students, depending on the number of projects. Projects are collected by the lecturers and made available to choose from at the start.

Introduction to differential geometry and differential topology. Contents: Curves, (hyper-)surfaces in R^n, geodesics, curvature, Theorema Egregium, Theorem of Gauss-Bonnet. Hyperbolic space. Differentiable manifolds, immersions and embeddings, Sard's Theorem, mapping degree and intersection number, vector bundles, vector fields and flows, differential forms, Stokes' Theorem.

Introduction to Riemannian geometry in combination with some elements of modern metric geometry. Contents: Riemannian manifolds, Levi-Civita connection, geodesics, Hopf-Rinow Theorem, curvature, second fundamental form, Riemannian submersions and coverings, Hadamard-Cartan Theorem, triangle and volume comparison, relations between curvature and topology, spaces of Riemannian manifolds.

Digital Foundations introduces students to information technology in architecture, to computational design and how robotic fabrication processes as well as 3D printing technologies are used to translate computational design models into physical objects and building components.

In the Diploma Thesis students prove their ability to independent, structured and scientific working. The master's thesis is supervised by the tutor and normally deals with a subject contained in the major fields. The research will be performed normally within a private company or at the ETH Zurich.

The diploma thesis concludes the masters programm and reports on the achievements of a six months research project. Students gain the ability to conduct independent scientific research on a specific research problem. The master theses project is directed by a professor.

The Diploma of Advanced Studies finishes with a 3-months diploma thesis which is directed by a professor of the department ITET. Students prove their ability to conduct independent scientific research on a specific research problem, using skills and knowledge acquired during the program. The thesis includes a written report and an oral presentation.

In the Master thesis students prove their ability to independent, structured and scientific working. The Master thesis is usually carried out in a core or optional subject area as chosen by the student.
