  • Equips engineers with fundamental thinking tools for logical reasoning and risk-based decision making
  • Boosts soft skills for team-based problem-solving & to cope with the complex and dynamic setting of smart manufacturing.
  • Improves executive control and professional adaptivity for better change-readiness

The structure of the course is as follows:

  • Day 1 : Applied Critical Thinking (Reason)
  • Day 2 : Risk Based Decision-Making (Rigour)
  • Day 3 : Collective Problem-Solving (Respect)
  • Day 4 : Self-Improvement & Control (Resilience).
