WHAT YOU WILL LEARN

This two-course online certificate program brings a hands-on approach to understanding the computational tools used in engineering problem-solving. 

This program is also delivered in SPANISH (Machine Learning, Modelos y Simulación: Ingeniería en la Era de IA) in collaboration with Global Alumni.

  • Learn how to simulate complex physical processes in your work using discretization methods and numerical algorithms.
  • Assess and respond to cost-accuracy tradeoffs in simulation and optimization, and make decisions about how to deploy computational resources.
  • Understand optimization techniques and their fundamental role in machine learning.
  • Practice real-world forecasting and risk assessment using probabilistic methods.
  • Recognize the limitations of machine learning and what MIT researchers are doing to resolve them.
  • Learn about current research in machine learning at the MIT CCSE and how it might impact your work in the future.

WHO SHOULD ENROLL

  • Industry professionals with at least a bachelor's degree in engineering (e.g., mechanical, civil, aerospace, chemical, materials, nuclear, biological, electrical, etc.) or the physical sciences.

  • Other technical professionals with a background in college-level mathematics including differential calculus, linear algebra, and statistics.

  • Programming experience not necessary, but some experience with MATLAB (R) is very useful.
