The course is intended to individuals who want to acquire knowledge in SPC such as engineers, managers, and will help them to get early diagnoses of the processes they are responsible for and to apply preventive measures or improve the process outcomes.
Lean Six Sigma
The goal of this course is to provide basics of Lean and Six Sigma concept with the aim of improving business results. Topics include seven (eight) types of waste, methods for identification, seven basic tools of quality, Six Sigma concept, DMAIC/ DMADV methodologies. The course will help engineers, managers to reduce the waste from their processes, improve their processes and systems and achieve financial benefits.
Introduction to Probability and Statistics
The goal of this course is to provide general introduction to probability and statistics with applications. Topics include random variables, histograms, probability distributions, quantiles, central limit theorem, confidence intervals, mean variance, covariance, correlation, hypothesis testing, and linear regression. The course will help student to understand basic statistical terminology and perform simple statistical analysis.
Statistics for Engineers
The goal of this course is to provide specialized topics from probability and statistics with applications in engineering. Topics include random variables, histograms, probability distributions, quantiles, central limit theorem, confidence intervals, mean variance, covariance, correlation, hypothesis testing, and linear regression. The course will help engineers to make evidence-based decisions based on analyzed engineering data.
Product Design and Prototyping
The goal of this course is to help student to turn product idea into reality. The course teaches steps how a product is created through product development process. This is a practical course, in which a student is going to learn:
- how to turn your own product ideas to reality;
- how to create your first 3D product model virtually;
- how 3D printing, CNC machining and laser cutting turn your virtual model to physical product (prototype).
The course offers some insight into the world of product design, development and prototype manufacture gained from real world projects and academic experience. This includes, techniques to work with metal and plastic parts as well as assemblies will be learned and practiced. Virtual 3D models are going to be created using Computer Aided Design (CAD) software such as Solid Works or Inventor. Students are going to have opportunity to create 3D geometric models using primitives and Boolean operations as well as assemblies. Created 3D CAD models will be made using rapid prototyping processes either additive (3D printing) and subtractive (CNC machining) technologies as well as assemblies.
Introduction to MATLAB/Simulink
The goal of this course is to equip participants with both, MATLAB or SIMULINK computational software skills for various engineering systems. Topics include intro to bulid-in function of MATLAB, data visualization with MATLAB, conditions, loops, user defined functions, read and write to files, intro to Simulink, modeling using Simulink and MATLAB, connect hardware to MATLAB/simulink. The course will help participants to apply modeling and simulation techniques learned in various engineering systems.
Introduction to Microcontrollers
The goal of this course is to equip participants with the core concepts of microcontrollers and their use in embedded systems. Topics include intro to microcontroller and its programming; sensors and actuators; general purpose input/output peripherals; C, C++, IDEs; registers and interrupts; application. The course will help participants to recognize needs for microcontrollers and to apply the acquired skills in an engineering application.
Introduction to Programmable logic controllers
The goal of this course is to equip participants with the core concepts of Programmable logic controllers (PLCs) microcontrollers and their use in industrial systems. Topics include intro to PLCs and their programming; sensors and actuators; ladder logic diagram; counters, timers; and application. The course will help participants to apply the taught skills in an engineering application.
