This program can help you earn the IBM Cloud Professional Site Reliability Engineer certification, which validates your skills and can expand your career opportunities.The first two courses provide interactive and applied learning on SRE principles, operational readiness, service health monitoring, root cause analysis, implementation and management of compute, networking and storage options, reliability and resiliency services and deployment automation.The third course, the Capstone, includes certification exam preparation study materials and practice exercises in a virtual lab environment.Upon completion of all three courses, you should have acquired the skills to operate services that sustain service level objectives and engineer scalable, secure, and highly reliable and resilient services in the IBM Cloud. The program will help you prepare for the IBM Cloud Professional Site Reliability Engineer v2 certification exam.

Sustainable Resource Management

0

To ensure the continuous supply of the increasingly scarce raw materials that are needed to make the products we use every day, we need a more sustainable approach to waste and resource management.This two-course program in Sustainable Resource Management offers practical knowledge of the circular economy, recycling, refurbishment and remanufacturing as a means of identifying new solutions and business opportunities in this field.In the first course, you will explore the basic concepts of the circular economy and their implementation from various perspectives: how businesses can create value by reusing and recycling products; how designers can come up with amazingly clever solutions; and how to apply systems thinking to the transition to the circular economy.In the second course, we will look at the potential benefits of circular procurement and how recycling technologies and more efficient ways of collecting and recycling critical raw materials (CRMs) can make your business and production more resource resilient.If you are looking for ways to upskill yourself and become a professional who not only creates great products but contributes to a sustainable management of natural resources – this is the program for you!

Transport Phenomena

0

The transport of mass, momentum and energy are key aspects of nature and in our daily life. These phenomena are therefore the cornerstone of almost all (if not all) process industries, from traditional mechanical and chemical engineering through state-of-the-art or future energy industries such as semiconductor production or wind-turbine manufacture. Anyone embarking on a career in these industries, will have to be adept at:recognizing the fundamental elements in existing industry processesanalyzing these processes in a mathematical way/li>improving these processes by redesigning them/li>This program offers the chance for the participant to understand the fundamental transport processes, learn how to model these processes and apply the knowledge gained from this modeling to new examples/cases.The program starts by demonstrating the role of balance equations in capturing a dynamic transport process. Subsequently, macro-scale processes are analyzed and modeled using the balance equations. Examples are drawn from mass transport, heat transfer and momentum transfer. Following this, a new type of balance equation, called micro-balance, is introduced to cover the most fundamental laws of transport phenomena. The program will also include many case studies of applications of these methods in various industries, including a heat exchanger in chemical process industry, and, dissolution time of a tablet in water from the pharmaceutical industry.The content taught in this program is structured in a particular way so that:the physical example or principle is taught firstit is then converted to a mathematical formulationthe mathematical equation is solvedthe physical significance of the result is interpreted from the solution.The learner will benefit because of the dual perspective of the program: learning the fundamentals as well as making practical applications. In both the academic world and in industry, mastering one aspect is not enough, as it is usually necessary to model both fundamentals and applications.

Sustainable Engineering Design

0

This 2-course program enables industrial design engineers to take their first steps in designing for a circular economy.In the first course, you will explore the basic concepts of the circular economy and their implementation from various perspectives: how businesses can create value by reusing and recycling products; how designers can come up with amazingly clever solutions; and how to apply systems thinking to the transition to the circular economy.The second course is more practical. You will learn more about strategies in circular product design (including reuse, repair, remanufacturing and recycling) and how to integrate lifecycle design both into your daily work and your organization’s vision. You will also receive tips and tricks to design accordingly and learn how to make better decision for current and future products designs.If you are looking for ways to upskill yourself and become a designer who not only creates great designs but contributes to the environment through sustainable engineering design – this is the program for you!

Sustainable Design of Electronics

0

In a circular economy, products are designed to last. Yet every product will eventually reach the end of its functional life. Recycling can help recover the value embedded in its materials so that these can be used again. However, for complex products like electronics, applying this seemingly simple principle can raise big challenges.This two-course program supports designers, engineers and decision makers in the Electrical and Electronic Equipment (EEE) industry in making the transition towards a circular economy by exploring both Design for Recycling and Designing with Recycled plastics.In the first course, you will explore the basic concepts of the circular economy and their implementation from various perspectives: how businesses can create value by reusing and recycling products; how designers can come up with amazingly clever solutions; and how to apply systems thinking to the transition to the circular economy.In the second course, you will learn how the recyclability of EEE products or consumer electronics can be optimized through good design and how to utilize recycled plastic content in existing or new products using new methods. We will examine inspiring examples and provide insight into current and future recycling technologies, legislation and business models.If you are looking for ways to upskill yourself and become a designer who not only creates great products but contributes to sustainable design and a positive environmental impact – this is the program for you!

Sustainable Packaging

0

Large amounts of packaging materials turn into waste and escape formal collection and recycling systems. It eventually end up polluting the environment having a huge environmental impact. Moreover, their material value is forever lost to the economy. How can we improve packaging systems in order to capture this wasted potential?This 2-course program will help industrial design engineers to rethink packaging design, recover, and reuse.In the first course, you will explore the basic concepts of the circular economy and their implementation from various perspectives: how businesses can create value by reusing and recycling products; how designers can come up with amazingly clever solutions; and how to apply systems thinking to the transition to the circular economy.In the second course, you will learn about the design of sustainable packaging systems. You will explore the design and business strategies of the circular economy and how this can be applied to packaging.If you are looking for ways to upskill yourself and become a designer who not only creates great designs but contributes to the environment through rethinking the packaging of your product – this is the program for you!
