Machine learning is having profound effects in many different industries, from ¬financial services to retail to advertising. Machine learning is a collection of models, methods, and algorithms to help make better decisions that are driven by data, not gut feelings or guesswork. Today, every organization has access to reams of data, whether it’s operational data, customer data, third party data, or supplier data. The question becomes: How can I collect and use this data to make informed predictions, take action, and evaluate the outcomes for future decision making? Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) is at the forefront of research and practice for this emerging ¬eld within data science. Professor Devavrat Shah, who leads the Center of Statistics and Data Science at MIT, takes participants on a deep dive into what’s possible with machine learning. Regardless of where you are on the spectrum of machine learning adoption, this online program provides the latest thought leadership in machine learning tools and techniques.

The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) was founded in 1861 in response to the increasing industrialization of the United States and the need for applied learning in the ¬elds of science and engineering. Just as the invention of the continuous steam engine catapulted society to new heights in the late 18th century, new technologies are pushing us towards another industrial revolution—this time, based on cyber-physical production systems. Welcome to Industry 4.0. Smart manufacturing is a convergence of modern data science techniques and artificial intelligence to form processes that could be used in the factory of the future. Smart manufacturing is about increasing efficiency and eliminating pain points in your system. It’s characterized by a highly connected, knowledge-enabled industrial enterprise where all organizations and operating systems are linked, leading to enhanced productivity, sustainability, and economic performance. MIT Professional Education's Smart Manufacturing online program brings together cutting-edge technology like machine learning, Internet of Things, and data analytics to understand the current transformation of the manufacturing sector. In keeping with MIT’s founding principle Mens et Manus (Mind and Hand)—the synergy of theory and practice being at the heart of the learning experience—you’ll learn by doing. The program centers around a smart machine—a fiber extrusion device, fondly referred to as FrED—to demonstrate concepts as well as incorporate problem-solving skills into the curriculum.
