MIT Professional Education has announced the expansion of its 2017 Short Programs. Business professionals around the globe can now register for a new course debuting this summer, titled Advances in Computer-Aided Design for Manufacturing.
This one-week course, which takes place June 26-30, 2017, will introduce basic concepts and cutting-edge developments in the world of computer-aided design (CAD) as it is applied to digital manufacturing. MIT Professors Wojciech Matusik and Justin Solomon will cover how CAD systems are built, how to use them effectively and explore the latest in digital manufacturing, such as additive manufacturing (AM) and 3-D printing.
"New tools and manufacturing methods have revolutionized the way we approach modern design. This course offers engineers, developers and researchers the chance to experiment with state-of-the-art systems and learn how to apply them to help keep their companies at the technological cutting edge," said Wojciech, Associate Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at the Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory at MIT.
The new professional education offering for 2017 complements over 50 existing Short Programs courses at MIT focusing on science, engineering, technology and more. Participants, both technical and non-technical, learn from leading MIT faculty and gain crucial knowledge in a collaborative academic setting to help advance their careers or enhance their companies' performance.
"New additions to our Short Programs portfolio address topics currently in high demand in the industry. Every year, we examine the innovation and technology landscape, and introduce courses that are not only topical but where MIT knowledge and expertise can add substantial value to those attending the courses," said Bhaskar Pant, MIT Professional Education's Executive Director.
Short Programs run two to five days and take place on MIT's campus in Cambridge, MA, during the summer, providing the MIT experience in a condensed timeframe. Upon completion of a Short Programs course, participants receive an MIT Professional Education Certificate of Completion, continuing education units and access to MIT Professional Education's expansive professional alumni network. For those seeking a more intensive experience on a single topic, there is also a Professional Certificate Program covering Innovation and Technology.
Registration is now open on the MIT Professional Education - Short Programs homepage.
