This 2-day course on enhanced in-situ testing includes a review of available methods for geotechnical site investigation, including soil borings with standard penetration testing (SPT), vane shear testing (VST), flat plate dilatometer (DMT), pressuremeter (PMT), and cone penetration testing (CPT), as well as geophysics applications, including crosshole (CHT), downhole (DHT), spectral analysis of surface waves (SASW, MASW, CSW). The emphasis focuses on CPT and her sisters, including piezocone (CPTU), and seismic piezocone (SCPTU) towards the basic evaluations of soil behavior type, geostratigraphy, and the interpretion of geoparameters, including: unit weight, relative density, effective friction angle of sands and clays, yield stress ratio, undrained shear strength, stiffness, elastic modulus, and the use of dissipation tests for assessing the coefficient of consolidation and permeability. Case studies from various geologic settings and applications are presented throughout the course. The SCPTU is particularly cost-effective and efficient as it provides 5 independent readings on soil behavior with depth: (1) cone tip resistance, qt; (2) sleeve friction, fs; (3) penetration porewater pressure, u2; (4) dissipation readings with time, t50; and (5) shear wave velocity, Vs. The value of shear wave velocity from SCPTU is featured as it provides the fundamental stiffness of the ground: i.e. Gmax = G0 = small-strain shear modulus. Detailed modules cover the evaluation of both static (flow) and cyclic liquefaction from CPT. The course addresses direct CPT methods for assessing the capacity and displacement response of both shallow & deep foundations, as well as new developments in penetrometer technology.
The structural loads of buildings, bridges, towers, and other civil engineering projects must somehow be transmitted to the underlying natural geomaterials using a foundation system that is safe, stable, and economical. Since site-specific information is required for each particular structure, an emphasis is made on the use of geotechnical in-situ testing for a rational and proper assessment of the ground. The Geotechnical Foundation Systems course reviews analytical procedures for the evaluation of shallow and deep foundation systems. You will discover methods for calculating ultimate bearing capacity (limit plasticity solutions) and load-displacement behavior (elasticity theory). For deep foundation systems, you will learn additional considerations for evaluating side resistance by effective stress approach and direct cone penetration test methods. Many case studies are intermingled throughout the course to illustrate the analytical procedures and verify their applicability.

This course reviews and reinforces both (a) the comprehension concepts, and (b) the model authoring hands-on skills that participants acquired in SysML 101 and SysML 201. Participants will reinforce how to implement essential concepts through hands-on sessions and exercises with a representative SysML tool. The skills are underscored by doing useful things with the resulting SysML models—not just building them for the sake of documentation. Table 2 shows the duration and contents for a typical SysML 8203 offering. The normal course length is 3 days. Note that we review selected key SysML 101/201 modules and hands-on tutorials as expected, but this time with a reinforcement emphasis (including interactive discussion and Q/A). A key aspect of the course is additional content and discussion time regarding sponsor-oriented examples (SOE) and related applications. The normal SysML 101/201 classes utilize general-purpose examples (such as automotive systems) that practically any participant can understand and appreciate based on their everyday experiences (such as driving automobiles). Those examples provide a proven way to teach participants the fundamentals of SysML model concepts. Beyond that, the SOE 8203.5x items in the agenda show and discuss additional sponsor-oriented examples as presented via one or more additional existing SysML models that the instruction team selects from (based on Sponsor interest). We spread the SOE content throughout the SysML 8203 course, such that we cover each SOE segment right after participants have completed reinforcing the corresponding SysML topic. For example, for aviation-oriented Sponsors we typically utilize a UAV example and show UAV blocks/bdds right after reinforcing the Module 101.03 / Tutorial 201.03 block/bdd topic.

At the beginning of this course we introduce the determinant, which yields two important concepts that you will use in this course. First, you will be able to apply an invertibility criterion for a square matrix that plays a pivotal role in, for example, the understanding of eigenvalues. You will also use the determinant to measure the amount by which a linear transformation changes the area of a region. This idea plays a critical role in computer graphics and in other more advanced courses, such as multivariable calculus. This course then moves on to eigenvalues and eigenvectors. The goal of this part of the course is to decompose the action of a linear transformation that may be visualized. The main applications described here are to discrete dynamical systems, including Markov chains. However, the basic concepts— eigenvectors and eigenvalues—are useful throughout industry, science, engineering, and mathematics. Prospective learners enrolling in this course are encouraged to first complete the linear equations and matrix algebra courses before starting this class. Recommended Prerequisites: High school algebra, geometry, and pre-calculus Required Prerequisites: Linear Equations; Matrix Algebra
The Certificate in Analytics program culminates with a required Applied Learning project to be completed outside of the classroom.

Systems of equations live at the heart of linear algebra. In this course you will explore fundamental concepts by exploring definitions and theorems that give a basis for this subject. At the start of this course we introduce systems of linear equations and a systematic method for solving them. This algorithm will be used for computations throughout the course as you investigate applications of linear algebra and more complex algorithms for analyzing them. Later in this course you will later see how a system of linear equations can be represented in other ways, which can reduce problems involving linear combinations of vectors to approaches that involve systems of linear equations. Towards the end of the course we explore linear independence and linear transformations. They have an essential role throughout our course and in applications of linear algebra to many areas of industry, science, and engineering. Recommended Prerequisite: High school algebra, geometry, and pre-calculus
Your ability to apply the concepts that we introduced in our previous course is enhanced when you can perform algebraic operations with matrices. At the start of this class, you will see how we can apply the Invertible Matrix Theorem to describe how a square matrix might be used to solve linear equations. This theorem is a fundamental role in linear algebra, as it synthesizes many of the concepts introduced in the first course into one succinct concept. You will then explore theorems and algorithms that will allow you to apply linear algebra in ways that involve two or more matrices. You will examine partitioned matrices and matrix factorizations, which appear in most modern uses of linear algebra. You will also explore two applications of matrix algebra, to economics and to computer graphics. Learners taking this class are encouraged to first complete the first course in this series, Linear Equations. Recommended Prerequisite: High school algebra, geometry, and pre-calculus Required Prerequisite: Linear Equations
In the first part of this course you will explore methods to compute an approximate solution to an inconsistent system of equations that have no solutions. Our overall approach is to center our algorithms on the concept of distance. To this end, you will first tackle the ideas of distance and orthogonality in a vector space. You will then apply orthogonality to identify the point within a subspace that is nearest to a point outside of it. This has a central role in the understanding of solutions to inconsistent systems. By taking the subspace to be the column space of a matrix, you will develop a method for producing approximate (“least-squares”) solutions for inconsistent systems. You will then explore another application of orthogonal projections: creating a matrix factorization widely used in practical applications of linear algebra. The remaining sections examine some of the many least-squares problems that arise in applications, including the least squares procedure with more general polynomials and functions. This course then turns to symmetric matrices. arise more often in applications, in one way or another, than any other major class of matrices. You will construct the diagonalization of a symmetric matrix, which gives a basis for the remainder of the course. Recommended Prerequisites: High school algebra, geometry, and pre-calculus Required Prerequisites: Linear Equations; Matrix Algebra; Determinants and Eigenvalues
This course provides an introduction to basic probability concepts. Our emphasis is on applications in science and engineering, with the goal of enhancing modeling and analysis skills for a variety of real-world problems. In order to make the course completely self-contained (and to bring back long-lost memories), we’ll start off with bootcamp lessons to review concepts from set theory and calculus. We’ll then discuss the probability axioms that serve as the basis for all of our subsequent work – what makes probability tick? That discussion will give us the tools to study elementary probability counting rules, including permutations and combinations. We’ll use these rules to work on various cool applications, including poker probability calculations and baseball line-ups! The next venues on our tour are the concepts of independence and conditional probability, which allow us to see how the probabilities of different events are related to each other, and how new information can be used to update probabilities. The course culminates in a discussion of Bayes Rule and its various interesting consequences related to probability updates. Recommended Prerequisites: Introductory knowledge of set theory and basic calculus Experience in Excel or similar application
This course provides an introduction to basic statistical concepts. We begin by walking through a library of probability distributions, where we motivate their uses and go over their fundamental properties. These distributions include such important folks as the Bernoulli, binomial, geometric, Poisson, uniform, exponential, and normal distributions, just to name a few. Particular attention is paid to the normal distribution, because it leads to the Central Limit Theorem (the most-important mathematical result in the universe, actually), which enables us to make probability calculations for arbitrary averages and sums of random variables. We then discuss elementary descriptive statistics and estimation methods, including unbiased estimation, maximum likelihood estimation, and the method of moments – you got to love your MoM! Finally, we describe the t, χ2, and F sampling distributions, which will prove to be useful in upcoming statistical applications. Recommended Prerequisites: Internet connection (DSL, LAN, or cable connection desirable) Adobe Acrobat PDF reader (to download for free, visit get.adobe.com/reader/) R statistical software (to download for free, visit cran.r-project.org) (or similar statistics packages such as Minitab, JMP, SAS, etc.) Excel (or equivalent) Bonus software: Any “rea;,” high-level language such as MATLAB, Python, etc.
This course covers two important methodologies in statistics – confidence intervals and hypothesis testing. Confidence intervals are encountered in everyday life, and allow us to make probabilistic statements such as: “Based on the sample of observations we conducted, we are 95% sure that the unknown mean lies between A and B,” and “We are 95% sure that Candidate Smith’s popularity is 52% +/- 3%.” We begin the course by discussing what a confidence interval is and how it is used. We then formulate and interpret confidence intervals for a variety of probability distributions and their parameters. Hypothesis testing allows us to pose hypotheses and test their validity in a statistically rigorous way. For instance, “Does a new drug result in a higher cure rate than the old drug” or “Is the mean tensile strength of item A greater than that of item B?” The second half the course begins by motivating hypothesis tests and how they are used. We then discuss with the types of errors that can occur with hypothesis testing, and how to design tests to mitigate those errors. Finally, we formulate and interpret hypothesis tests for a variety of probability distributions and their parameters. Hypothesis testing allows us to pose hypotheses and test their validity in a statistically rigorous way. For instance, “Does a new drug result in a higher cure rate than the old drug” or “Is the mean tensile strength of item A greater than that of item B?” The second half the course begins by motivating hypothesis tests and how they are used. We then discuss with the types of errors that can occur with hypothesis testing, and how to design tests to mitigate those errors. Finally, we formulate and interpret hypothesis tests for a variety of probability distributions and their parameters. Recommended Prerequisites: Prior experience in Excel and/or the R freeware statistical package, or similar applications Required Prerequisites: Introductory knowledge in theory and basic calculus, as well as the material from the previous courses in this series (A Gentle Introduction to Probability, Random Variables, and A Gentle Introduction to Statistics).
This course discusses properties and applications of random variables. When you’re done, you’ll have enough firepower to undertake a wide variety of modeling and analysis problems; and you’ll be well-prepared for the upcoming statistics courses. We’ll begin by introducing the concepts of discrete and continuous random variables. For instance, how many customers are likely to arrive in the next hour (discrete)? What’s the probability that a lightbulb will last more than a year (continuous)? We’ll learn about various properties of random variables such as the expected value, variance, and moment generating function. This will lead us to a discussion of functions of random variables. Such functions have many uses, including some wonderful applications in computer simulations. If you enjoy random variables, then you’ll really love joint (two-dimensional) random variables. We’ll provide methodology to extract marginal (one-dimensional) and conditional information from these big boys. This work will enable us to study the important concepts of independence and correlation. Along the way, we’ll start working with the R statistical package to do some of our calculations and analysis. Recommended Prerequisites: Introductory knowledge of theory and basic calculus, as well as the material from the first course in this series (A Gentle Introduction to Probability). Prior experience in Excel, or similar application.

In many ways, math functions as a universal written language because it has vocabulary (i.e., symbols with meanings), grammar (i.e., rules that explain how the symbols can be used) and syntax (i.e., organizational patterns for combining symbols to form propositions).

The requirement for high levels of customer service, increasing numbers of Stock Keeping Units (SKUs), and high labor costs have dramatically increased the complexity of warehouse operations. It is no longer sufficient to manage a warehouse based on a simple, arbitrary “ABC” classification of SKUs, which treats all those in a category as if they were identical. Instead, each decision, such as where to store or where to pick product, must be based on careful engineering and economic analysis.
As supply chain (SC) executives become more instrumental in supporting long-term strategic objectives for their firms, they need to complement traditional SC operational knowledge with a more strategic view of their role in delivering aligned results to the business.

Manufacturers are continually iterating their processes to make sure their operations are driving the needed results. However, many of these same manufacturers, while focusing on operational efficiencies, tend to forget that by improving their administrative functions simultaneously, they become more of a whole-package company. During this one-day course, your front office leaders and team members will learn to not only understand lean concepts such as standard work, workplace organization, process flow, and more, but also learn to apply them to their disciplines within the organization. This class is for HR professionals, customer service teams, marketing, purchasing, shipping, accounting, and any other group in your manufacturing company that supports the manufacturing processes through administrative and front-office functions. By attending this course, your team will: • Eliminate unnecessary tasks and touch points within your front office processes • Learn to see issues, solve problems, and share successes for further improvement • Understand how to use lean tools such as visual boards, standard meetings, project tracking mechanisms, and more to keep projects on task and on-time
Implementing Lean practices at your manufacturing plant can be a highly effective solution to reducing operational inefficiencies and improving productivity but knowing how or where to start can be a challenge to those new to this methodology. By attending this course, you will gain an understanding of the fundamentals of Lean, including key principles and the tools and techniques you can apply to make an immediate impact within your sphere of influence at your workplace. Class exercises and a hands-on manufacturing simulation will provide and reinforce the basics of Lean tools and techniques and demonstrate the Plan-Do-Check-Act improvement process.
Ready to get to the root of it all? This course helps you find the key causes of recurring problems within your organization and to identify optimum solutions. In the Root Cause Analysis course, you will discover techniques to define the problem, determine the situation, analyze data, select the best solution, and evaluate improvement and follow-up results.
"Lean management" is a way to tighten the way you do business and gain bottom-line results. Lean first started in manufacturing companies and, over time, has become useful in the healthcare field, educational organizations, government organizations, and administrative offices. This online course lets you choose the sector you would like to explore. In the Management module, you'll learn about the lean philosophy and how it can change your company for the better. In the Tools module, you'll define each tool, determine what it can do, see what it looks like, and recognize when it can be used. This course can also be used as a general refresher, a prerequisite for advanced lean training, and an in-house library selection.
Creating goals and metrics is only effective when you involve different levels of the organization, communicate those goals clearly, have two-way communication between upper management and the plant floor, and continuously measure those goals and discuss their impact.

Integrating Additive Manufacturing with Traditional Manufacturing discusses the factors manufacturers should consider when adding an additive manufacturing (AM) component to a traditional manufacturing operation, including cost, logistics, and best uses of AM with traditional manufacturing, among other concerns. Originally used for prototyping, AM has increasingly found more roles in traditional manufacturing processes, such as creating tooling or end-use parts. However, because the procedures and tools are so different, combining the two kinds of manufacturing requires considerable adjustments. Logistical concerns of integrating AM with traditional manufacturing include purchasing the correct machines and updating safety protocols. Design concerns involve upskilling engineers so that they can take full advantage of AM capabilities.
Additive Manufacturing as a Secondary Process provides a comprehensive overview of the way in which manufacturers can use additive manufacturing (AM) as a secondary or indirect process. AM methods can make a variety of tooling, such as molds and patterns, for use in several different casting, forming, and molding processes. Using AM as a secondary process benefits traditional manufacturing processes by reducing costs associated with lead time, tooling, and labor. An individual must understand the different advantages and disadvantages associated with AM as a secondary process prior to determining whether or not to utilize it. Knowledge about AM secondary processes and their benefits is important in order to understand the full impact that AM has upon traditional manufacturing.

Good Manufacturing Practices (GMPs) provide a foundation for any food safety system. They are a series of hygiene rules, product handling guidelines, sanitation procedures, and operational conditions required to produce safe foods. The FDA’s Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) has elevated traditional GMPs, now called “current GMPs” or “cGMPs,” to ensure that ingredients, products, and packaging materials are handled safely, and that food products are processed in a suitable environment. In this course, you’ll learn current cGMPs, as required by the FSMA’s rule on Preventive Controls for Humans Food, while understanding the hazards associated with personnel and environment during food production.

Food allergens are considered an important hazard that need to be controlled during food and beverage manufacturing. While more than 160 foods can cause allergenic reactions in people with food allergies, 90% of food allergenic reactions come from just eight allergens: dairy, egg, fish, shellfish, tree nut, peanuts, wheat, and soy. To avoid health risks posed by food allergens, food manufacturers must implement control strategies to avoid cross contact of allergenic foods with foods that don’t contain that allergen and product mislabeling. In this five-hour asynchronous course, you’ll learn how some food proteins cause an allergenic reaction and the symptoms that accompany this reaction. You will also learn how to develop an Allergen Control program, the necessary documentation, internal auditing, and employee training requirements as well as the practical implementation to ensure a robust and sustainable system.
