Introduction to Computer Aided Design, Visual Programming Language and Additive Manufacturing Stereolithography (SLA)
This course aims to equip learners with the fundamental skills to use Computer Aided Design (CAD), visual programming language, and operate a desktop stereolithography (SLA) 3D printer.
Introduction to Instructional Design of Serious Game
Serious games are those that serve a goal other than pure enjoyment, such as teaching, raising awareness, training, advertising, or any other 鈥渟erious鈥 objective that can be motivated by the compelling environment that games offer. In the past, serious games have frequently been employed in the fields of education, training, healthcare, finance and defence. Serious games, which can use a variety of gaming technologies to support or aid in an individual鈥檚 training or the development of an industry as a whole, are defined as the junction between learning, simulation, and gaming. Serious games encourage players to maximize their own performance by combining more interactive learning with the strength of competition and a sense of accomplishment.
Introduction to Artificial Intelligence
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is found in many applications today. From on-demand car ride services, to chatbots, to online recommendation services, AI has helped businesses work more efficiently and effectively.
Introduction to Data Science
Across the world, and industries,聽data science is in demand, and is receiving an increasing attention due to its research and application significance. Modern professionals are recognising the need to acquire skills in data science to stay relevant in the increasingly digital economy.
Introduction to Digital Product Management
Be at the intersection of business viability, technical feasibility and best in class customer experience. Designed for non-technical executives, this course will provide an understanding of product management and the roles that product managers play.
Introduction to Energy Storage Devices
Energy storage devices (including lithium-ion batteries) are one group of emerging technologies that have wide areas of industrial, commercial as well as consumer applications. This course seeks to provide participants with technical understanding of lithium-ion battery technology and its subcomponents. Both current and future energy storage devices will be discussed. In addition, with the increasing use of electrical vehicles, basic requirements of batteries for electrical vehicles will also be explored.
Introduction to Functional Textile Design and Sustainable Manufacturing
Computer Numerical Control (CNC) knitted products have become increasingly prevalent in everyday life over the past few years, manifesting in domains that are both design-oriented (sweaters and shoe uppers) and engineering-oriented (seat covers and vehicle chassis preforms etc.). Using design inputs, the machine鈥檚 loop-by-loop formation enables users to create shaped geometries with different localised properties in a single manufacturing step. Thus, this broadens the design freedom to create a variety of technical textiles with functional properties that can be used for different industries. Moreover, this additive manufacturing technique presents a sustainable method of creating textiles without depending on conventional cut-and-sew processes.
