Preparing for a crisis is not a luxury; it is a necessity. Constant cyber-attacks, the COVID-19 pandemic, and regulatory requirements have proven this. You know the odds are high that your company will suffer, or has experienced, a disaster or crisis. You cannot say you weren't ready; today's extreme public and government scrutiny demand that you should have been prepared. MIT's Crisis Management & Business Resiliency course will help prepare you for the inevitable.

Transform your organization's engineering capabilities with comprehensive AI implementation spanning the complete design-to-deployment pipeline, from LLM-driven parametric design through advanced manufacturing optimization, computer vision quality control, and real-world deployment strategies. In this intensive hands-on course, you'll join accomplished global peers to master deployable AI workflows, create neural surrogates for expensive simulations, implement MLOps practices with regulatory compliance, and build complete integrated systems using open-source tools – leaving with working template libraries and custom components ready for immediate organizational deployment.

This year, MIT’s Enterprise Additive Manufacturing course coincides with RAPID + TCT, North America’s largest additive manufacturing and industrial 3D printing event, taking place April 13-17, 2026 in Boston, MA. The course will combine regular lecture and workshop programming with an integrated experience at RAPID, broadening exposure to key stakeholders in the AM industry and the latest technologies and applications. This 5-day program includes 3.5 full days at MIT, with two half-days split between MIT and the RAPID exposition floor.

In this next-level follow-up to our Crisis Management & Business Resiliency Program, we deep dive into issues you and your industry peers chose. Topics are unique to each year’s course, as selected by previous years’ attendees of the CM&BR Program. Participants will acquire knowledge and insights from leading industry topical experts as well as your course colleagues. We can also discuss your own pressing organizational, program, management and resiliency challenges privately or in class. Student Projects: Individual teams of students will select industry issues or specific problems/processes for study. These Projects require students to work together in small groups during the week and present their results to the Class at the end of the course. Following the Course, if interested, a Team’s Student Project can result in a published article and/or conference presentation.
