With changing needs of technology, there are requirements for upskilling. Now, for the same concern of upskilling one of the world’s premium universities, Stanford University is offering free courses.
Stanford was founded almost 150 years ago on a bedrock of societal purpose. The mission of the university is to contribute to the world by educating students for lives of leadership and purposeful contribution; advancing fundamental knowledge and cultivating creativity, and accelerating solutions and amplifying their impact.
Commenting on the free courses Stanford University said on its page, “Our free online courses provide you with an affordable and flexible way to learn new skills and study new and emerging topics.”
“Learn from Stanford instructors and industry experts at no cost to you”, it added.
Process of Enrollment: Enrollment can be done online by visiting the website of the university.
1. Algorithms: Design and Analysis, Part 1: In this course you will learn several fundamental principles of algorithm design. You’ll learn the divide-and-conquer design paradigm, with applications to fast sorting, searching, and multiplication. You’ll learn several blazingly fast primitives for computing on graphs, such as how to compute connectivity information and shortest paths. To know more Click here.
2. Algorithms: Design and Analysis, Part 2: In this course, you will learn several fundamental principles of advanced algorithm design. You’ll learn the greedy algorithm design paradigm, with applications to computing good network backbones (i.e., spanning trees) and good codes for data compression. To know more Click here.
3. Introduction to Internet of Things: In this short non-credit course, six Stanford faculty members will deliver an overview of exciting and relevant technical areas essential to professionals in the IoT industry. This introductory course provides a taste of what to expect from courses that are part of the IoT Graduate Certificate program. Academic Director Olav Solgaard will give an introduction to this short course, and then you will be guided through 5 modules:
- Cool Applications
- Sensors
- Embedded Systems
- Networking
- Circuits
This short course is designed to give an overview of the Internet of Things graduate certificate. It closely maps to subject focus areas within the certificate and is intended to assist the student in understanding the focus areas. The faculty in this short course also teach graduate courses within the IoT graduate certificate. The course is not required for the graduate certificate. To apply for the course Click here.
