Draw on MIT's more than 100 years of university-industry collaboration to learn how sensors, software, and systems can create a smart enterprise at any scale.
Experience the revolution in smart manufacturing as Dr. Brian W. Anthony and his team of MIT researchers continuously upgrade FrED, an intelligent machine built by MIT experts, with cutting-edge advancements in software and hardware.
Acquire smart technology strategies to stay at the forefront of the industry, including modeling, manufacturing systems, sensors, and advanced data analytics.
Engage in two live sessions with MIT instructors, and up to eight live sessions with learning facilitators, industry experts, and peers.
Networking opportunities establish professional connections with industry experts and your cohort.
Access to rich supplementary resources provides additional materials and content for a more thorough educational journey.
All the participants who successfully complete their program will receive an MIT Professional Education Certificate of Completion, as well as Continuing Education Units (CEUs)*.
To obtain CEUs, complete the accreditation confirmation, which is available at the end of the course. CEUs are calculated for each course based on the number of learning hours.
*The Continuing Education Unit (CEU) is defined as 10 contact hours of ongoing learning to indicate the amount of time they have devoted to a non-credit/non-degree professional development program. To understand whether or not these CEUs may be applied toward professional certification, licensing requirements, or other required training or continuing education hours, please consult your training department or licensing authority directly.
Unite new technologies, such as machine learning, the Internet of Things, and data analysis, resulting in comprehending the transformation process currently happening in the manufacturing sector. Discover the latest trends and problem resolution methods with smart manufacturing and learn how to apply these skills to your organization.
