Overview
What you will study
The Solving Complex Problems - Structured Thinking, Design Principles, and AI course offered by Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) will will help you explore proven design principles, heuristic-based insights, and problem-solving approaches, and learn how to persuasively present concepts and system architectures to stakeholders. Methods utilize recent developments in AI and Big Data, as well as innovative strategies from MIT Lincoln Laboratory that have been successfully applied to large and complex national defense systems.
By taking part in interactive lectures and hands-on projects, you will learn to think through and leverage important steps, including problem abstraction, idea generation, concept development and refinement, system-level thinking, and proposal generation. Alongside an accomplished group of global peers, you will explore the strategies and frameworks you need to implement large-scale systems that can have a significant positive impact—and minimize the probability of failure.
Programme Structure
The program focuses on:
- complex problems
- end-to-end processes and associated challenges
- developing more complex systems
- effective problem-solving techniques
- abstracting the problem, idea generation, concept development and refinement, system-level thinking, and proposal generation
- system-level thinking skills
- evaluate, refine, down select, and evaluate best ideas and concepts
- the Axiomatic Design methodology
- applications in manufacturing, product design, software, and architecture
- generate and present proposals that clearly articulate innovative ideas, clarify the limits of current strategies, define potential customers and impact, and outline a success-oriented system development and risk mitigation plan
- communicate ideas and persuade others, and provide valuable feedback
- develop and execute large-scale system concepts that will drive significant positive impact
