Course overview
Materials Science has always been the defining factor in human society, to the extent that throughout history leaps in societal evolution are characterized by leaps in materials usage (stone age, iron age, etc.). However, materials production and consumption is coming up against environmental constraints in almost every domain, including species biodiversity, land-use change, climate impacts, and biogeochemical flows. Global annual resource use reached nearly 90 billion metric tons in 2017 and may more than double by 2050. Mitigating the impact of materials use is urgent and complex, necessitates proactive assessment of unintended consequences, and requires multidisciplinary systems approaches. Such shift requires a profound transition in technology design and in how businesses create value from technology (35% of global GDP depends on heterogeneous catalysis), and Materials Science will be at the heart of it.

The aim of this course is to provide an insight into the key issues that underpins the development of materials for sustainable applications. We will consider the requirements for materials that are sustainably sourced, processed, utilised, and disposed of. We will also study the research for sustainable materials in a range of applications such as energy production storage and transformation, catalysis, construction, photovoltaics, photocatalysis, electrocatalysis, batteries, carbon capture technologies, etc., discussing the methods used in the relevant fields of research.

The material will be eminently practical with case studies and discussions that will provide an insightful view of the cutting edge research performed in a wide range of scientific topics. It will also provide a firm foundation for those considering a deeper study of materials science and related areas such as nanoscience, bioscience, medical engineering, colloids and catalysis.

Course Overview:
The amount of data is growing exponentially every year: they are generated by enterprises regardless of the activity field, we generate them ourselves in social networks, applications, etc. Data become a valuable resource, and someone who knows how to handle them correctly, analyze them and make data-driven decisions has a huge advantage over others. The ability to visualize data becomes especially important when personal offline presentation of data analysis results is impossible. The growing popularity of interactive dashboards and infographics requires a new skill - working in specialized programs for visualizing data. This is exactly what this course aims to do - to improve your data literacy: teach you to understand data, work with them and present them to others.

This course provides an introduction to Data Analysis, including the processes, infrastructure, and current practices used to transform business data into useful information for supporting business decision-making.

The course is structured into two parts: introduction to data analysis theory and practice of interactive visualization. In the first part, you will study the role of data in the modern world, the evolution of Business Intelligence, the route that data takes from the operator to the analyst and then to the end user, learn the basic skills of working with databases, intro to data analysis. The second part of the course will study the basic theory of data visualization, popular types and visualization tools.

This course by Dr Hamzeh Awad introduces essential concepts and applications of information and technologies in healthcare. Upon successful completion of this course, students are expected to understand and apply system thinking to describe technology applications in healthcare services; and technologies as components of healthcare information systems. Know more about eHealth and digital health application as well as electronic health record and applications toward patients’ centric and care management.
