Spring 2011 - In Brief

Advanced Study Program

In an effort to increase awareness and eventually registration in the Advanced Study Program, we will be hosting a series of Virtual Information Sessions via Webex so that interested prospects from around the world can learn more about the specifics of the program. For more information about these information sessions, please see the Coming Up section of this newsletter.

Career Reengineering Program

This summer, the Career Reengineering Program will celebrate the completion of its fifth year with a combined certificate ceremony and reunion bringing together many of the 50 graduates of the program. We plan to use this milestone as an opportunity to catch up with our alumni and to find out more about what they are doing today and to better understand the long term effects of this program.

Short Programs

Registration is open for all of our short summer courses to be held on the MIT campus. In addition to returning old favorites, we have a selection of new courses on manufacturing, energy /transportation, sustainability, lean enterprise and innovation. Manufacturing programs include Modern Manufacturing Systems and Technology; and Flow Chemistry: Continuous Synthesis and Purification of Pharmaceuticals. New offerings in transportation include courses on urban mobility and future vehicular transportation. We are also offering Sustainability: Principles and Practice as well as Energy, Sustainability and Life Cycle Assessment. Finally, courses of interest to a more general audience include Principles of Enterprise Transformation and Radical Innovation.
