Businesses, consumers, and societies leave behind massive amounts of data as a by-product of their activities. Leading-edge companies in every industry are using analytics to replace intuition and guesswork in their decision making. As a result, managers are collecting and analyzing enormous data sets to discover new patterns and insights and running controlled experiments to test hypotheses. This course, part of the Analytics: Essential Tools and Methods MicroMasters program, prepares you to understand data and business analytics and become a leader in these areas in business organizations. It will illustrate the processes of analytics by allowing you to apply business analytics algorithms and methodologies to real- world business datasets from finance, marketing, and operations. The use of real-world examples and cases places business analytics techniques in context and teaches you how to avoid the common pitfalls, emphasizing the importance of applying proper business analytics techniques.

In the 21st century, there are millions of innovators but few authentic innovation leaders able to inspire and guide innovators and their teams to create breakthrough products with their innovative ideas. In this original course, Innovation Leadership, you'll learn how to become an innovation leader. The essential elements of knowing yourself and your unique leadership gifts, your motivations, and the purpose of your leadership will be covered, along with personal stories of exceptional innovation leaders, concepts, exercises, tools and practical tips to help you become an exceptional innovation leader. Innovation Leadership is organized to focus on three modules, each including videos describing essential elements of innovation leaders, illustrating them with personal examples from innovation leaders, readings from Discover Your True North, illustrative charts, exercises, reflection essays, and discussion topics.
View Course PageThis course is your hands-on introduction to programming techniques relevant to data analysis and machine learning. Most of the programming exercises will be based on Python and SQL.
View Course PageThis course picks up with an overview of basic thermodynamics and kinetics as they pertain to the processing of crystalline materials. The first module deals with phase diagrams -- charts that tell us how a material will behave given a certain set of variables such as temperature, pressure, and composition. You will learn how to interpret common and complex phase diagrams and how to extract useful information from them.
View Course PageDo you need to write more easily and effectively in English? This course will provide the tools to help you do just that. From essential writing skills to sharing and achieving your goals, you'll gain the skills and confidence to write well in English for your business and professional purposes. As you work through the course, you will complete self- and peer-evaluations. Many of the peer assignments will have two or more options so that you can choose the best path depending on your current situation, through a combination of lectures, quizzes, supplementary resources, practice, and performance.
View Course PageAnalytical models are key to understanding data, generating predictions, and making business decisions. Without models, it is nearly impossible to gain insights from data. In modeling, it’s essential to understand how to choose the right data sets, algorithms, techniques, and formats to solve a particular business problem. In this course, part of the Analytics: Essential Tools and Methods MicroMasters program, you’ll gain an intuitive understanding of fundamental models and methods of analytics and practice how to implement them using common industry tools, such as R. You’ll learn about analytics modeling and how to choose the right approach from among the wide range of options in your toolbox.
View Course PageLooking to gain a solid understanding of what a supply chain is all about? This course provides a great introduction to the integrated supply chain model. You will have the chance to leverage discussions, videos, and quizzes to expand your foundational knowledge on the subject and find out about career opportunities in the field. The course also presents emerging and futuristic trends in supply chain.
View Course PageA direct current (DC) source is one that is constant. In this course, you will learn how to analyze circuits that have DC or voltage sources, including circuits with resistors, capacitors, and inductors. Some practical applications in sensors will be demonstrated as well.
View Course PageMachine Design Part I is the first course in an in-depth, three-course series focusing on machine design. The series covers fundamental mechanical design topics, such as static and fatigue failure theories, the analysis of shafts, fasteners, and gears, and the design of mechanical systems, such as gearboxes. In this first course, you will learn robust analysis techniques to predict and validate design performance and life. You will start by reviewing critical material properties in design, such as stress, strength, and the coefficient of thermal expansion. Next, you will learn about static failure theories, such as von Mises theory. Finally, you will discover fatigue failure criteria for designs with dynamic loads, such as the input shaft in the transmission of a car.
View Course PageHave you ever wondered why ceramics are hard and brittle while metals tend to be soft and pliable? Or how about why some materials conduct heat or electricity while others are insulators? In this course, you will learn how a material’s properties are determined by the microstructure of the material, which is in turn determined by the composition and the processing that the material has undergone. This is the first of three courses that mirror the Introduction to Materials Science class that is taken by most engineering undergrads at Georgia Tech. The aim of the course is to help students better understand the engineering materials that are used in the world around them. This first section covers the fundamentals of materials science, including atomic structure and bonding, crystal structure, atomic and microscopic defects, and noncrystalline materials, such as glasses, rubbers, and polymers.
