COURSE DESCRIPTION
The course Leadership for Societal Change 1: Building Change Mindsets and Reflective Competencies is a course for you who want to actively participate in the industrial and societal change towards sustainability.
The course aims to develop your reflective competence, make you aware of the learning that exists in your experiences, and master your further personal development as a transformative agent and leader.
The course is structured around six delimited assignments that are completed separately. The tasks are taken from an assignment bank where you choose which tasks you do and in what order. The course ends with a summarizing assignment where you capture what you have learned through the six assignments completed.
All courses within the Leadership for Sustainable Change course package are designed to be flexible and assume that it may be difficult to leave work and come to campus at specific dates and times. As a student, you can therefore complete the course assignments in your own order and at your own pace using a digital platform.
This course is given by Mälardalen university in cooperation with Luleå University of Technology.
Study effort: 80 hours
This course teaches you how to build convolutional neural networks (CNN). You will learn how to design intelligent systems using deep learning for classification, annotation, and object recognition. It includes three modules: Image processing: Introduction of industrial imaging through big data and fundamentals of image processing techniques Deep learning with convolutional neural network: Overview of neural network as classifiers, introduction of convolutional neural network and Deep learning architecture. Deep learning tools: Implementation of Deep learning for Image classification and object recognition, e.g. using Keras.
The rapid development of digital technologies and advances in communications have led to gigantic amounts of data with complex structures called ‘Big data’ being produced every day at exponential growth. The aim of this course is to give the student insights in fundamental concepts of machine learning with big data as well as recent research trends in the domain. The student will learn about problems and industrial challenges through domain-based case studies. Furthermore, the student will learn to use tools to develop systems using machine-learning algorithms in big data.
The course aims to give insights in fundamental concepts of machine learning for predictive analytics to provide actionable, i.e., better and more informed decisions in, forecasting. It covers the key concepts to extract useful information and knowledge from data sets to construct predictive modeling. The course includes three modules: Introduction: overview of Predictive data analytics and Machine learning for predictive analytics. Data exploration and visualization: presents case studies from industrial application domains and discusses key technical issues related to how we can gain insights enabling to see trends and patterns in industrial data. Predictive modeling: consists of issues in construction of predictive modeling, i.e., model data and determine Machine learning algorithms for predicative analytics and techniques for model evaluation.
In this course you will learn state-of-the-art statistical modelling for the purpose of analysing industrial data. The course also presents the basics of relational databases and data manipulation techniques needed to prepare the data for analysis.
This course makes you acquainted with the concept of systems-of-systems (SoS), which means that independent systems are collaborating. It gives you an understanding why SoS is an important topic in the current digitalisation and provides a theoretical and practical foundation for understanding important characteristics of SoS. It also gives you a deeper knowledge in a number of key concerns that need to be considered when engineering SoS. This is a course with a flexible start: If you are admitted, you may join the course any time between the course start in September 2025 until the beginning of October. With the recommended study pace of 25%, the course will take approximately seven calendar weeks to complete. Higher or lower study pace is possible as long as the course is finished no later than the end of the autumn semester.
Would you like to know what Industry 4.0 is about? Then this course is for you! In the course, we look at enabling technologies of Industry 4.0 from a human and industrial perspective. The course covers many topics and you will learn the basic terminology related to Industry 4.0 as well as insight and understanding of the Fourth Industrial Revolution and how it is set to affect industry and individuals.
