CSI’s Workforce Innovation Courses

At the Connected Systems Institute (CSI) our mission is to create the workforce of the future – one that understands the manufacturing domain, the reasons for implementing technology, how to measure financial results, and finally, how to formulate an IIOT strategy and implementation plan. We will achieve our mission via a combination of concise topic-focused lectures, workshops, and short courses. Some of these courses are also part of our advanced curriculum for graduate students working toward Masters or PhD degrees.

Digital Manufacturing Leadership (DML)
The Digital Manufacturing Leadership (DML) course is a 10-week program designed to help participants better understand, measure, and mitigate risk in manufacturing.

Each learner emerges with an individualized written asset management strategy, a financial plan for measuring improvement, and a digital governance strategy for mitigation specific risks. You will also have the opportunity to continue conversations about applying these concepts by entering digital roundtables with peers in the program.

This course runs every fall and spring. Our next offering will be September 2022. Please follow the Connected Systems Institute LinkedIn page or visit our website for updates!

Microsoft Azure in Manufacturing
In collaboration with Microsoft, CSI has created Microsoft Azure in Manufacturing, a six-week course to introduce manufacturing professionals to the possibilities of IIoT solutions using Azure! While aspects of this coursework are available for anyone to complete online, our course differs by including instructor-guided training at CSI’s fully functioning state-of-the-art manufacturing facility, actually leveraging the test bed data and contextualizing lessons important for manufacturing domains. We combine online learning with hands-on labs and use relevant cases delivered by industry SMEs.

The Microsoft Azure in Manufacturing course launches June 6, 2022. Visit the course page to learn more and register.
