PRESENTATION FORMAT

The programme features real-world applications and involves interactive on-line webcasts, simulation software and self-study assignments with a mentor on call. The course consists of 72 topics delivered over a period of 18 months. Presentations and group discussions will be conducted using a live, interactive software system. For each topic you will have an initial reading assignment (which will be delivered to you in electronic format in advance of the online presentations). There will be coursework or problems to be submitted and in some cases there will be practical exercises, using simulation software and remote labs that you can easily do from your home or office. You will have ongoing support from the instructors via phone, fax and e-mail.

LIVE WEBCASTS

During the programme you will participate in 72 live interactive sessions/webcasts with the instructors and other participants from around the world. Each webcast will be scheduled at 2 varying session times, so that you can select the one which is most convenient to you. Webcast times are only finalised after registrations close, as we need to know which time-zones all participants are based in before we can compile a schedule. Upon registration you will receive a questionnaire regarding your time availability. We guarantee that at least one session time, for each webcast, will fall into your preferred time slot.

PRACTICAL EXERCISES AND REMOTE LABORATORIES

As part of the groundbreaking new way of teaching, we will be using a series of remote laboratories (labs) and simulation software, to facilitate your learning and to test the knowledge you gain during the course. These involve complete working labs set up at various locations of the world into which you will be able to log and proceed through the various practical sessions. These will be supplemented by simulation software, running either remotely or on your computer, to ensure you gain the requisite handson experience. No one can learn much solely from lectures, the labs and simulation software are designed to increase the absorption of the materials and to give you a practical orientation of the learning experience. All this will give you a solid, practical exposure to the key principles covered in the course and will Practical Exercises and Remote Laboratories ensure that you obtain maximum benefit from the course to succeed in your future career in Industrial Automation.
