Sustainable Fashion
Sometimes when we say we work with sustainable fashion people look at us like... "Mmmm, is it really possible for something like fashion to be sustainable?" And let's face it, people are right being suspicious. If anything the fashion industry has become increasingly unsustainable over the last decades, using more and more natural resources and creating more and more waste. In this course, we provide an overview of business model theory and discuss business models as essential tools in the transformation towards more sustainable businesses. Throughout the course, we will use business model theory as a foundation to look at how real-world fashion brands are adopting more sustainable ways of doing business. We will provide you with a rich opportunity to examine their efforts and consider strategies for your own organisation. Hopefully, you can also enlighten us with some local examples in your own countries for us to discover together new ways of dealing with sustainability. By the end of the course, you have an understanding of the overall challenges and potential solutions for businesses to become more sustainable. You will learn about the challenges and opportunities of implementing circular business models and we will introduce various tools that companies use to measure and report about sustainability. You will be able to think about business model theory in new ways and apply strategies to manage business model innovation towards sustainable practices. This is a very exciting time to be working in the fashion industry, so let's get started!

FPGA computing systems: Partial Dynamic Reconfiguration
New application domains demand ever increasing adaptability and performance. In order to cope with changing user requirements, improvements in system features, changing protocol and data-coding standards, and demands for support of a variety of different user applications, many emerging applications in communication, computing and consumer electronics demand that their functionality stays flexible after the system has been manufactured. Reconfigurable Systems-on-a-Chips (SoCs) employing different microprocessor cores and different types of reconfigurable fabrics are one attractive solution for these domains. The increasing prominence of reconfigurable devices within such systems requires HW/SW co-design for SoCs to address the trade-off between software execution and reconfigurable hardware acceleration. Dynamic reconfiguration capabilities of current reconfigurable devices create an additional dimension in the temporal domain. During the design space exploration phase, overheads associated with reconfiguration and hardware/software interfacing need to be evaluated carefully in order to harvest the full potential of dynamic reconfiguration. The course will introduce the student with the concept of reconfigurability in FPGAs, presenting the available mechanisms and technologies at the device level and the tools and design methodologies required to design reconfigurable FPGA-based systems. The course will present the different aspects of the design of FPGA-based reconfigurable systems, focusing in particular on dynamically self-reconfigurable systems. The design methodologies and tools required to design a dynamically-reconfigurable system will be introduced and described, together with the problems that need to be considered.

Construction Management Project Delivery Methods & Contracts
Learn to align projects with organizational culture, and deliver on time, within budget, and with high quality. This course helps you meet your project goals and objectives. We will review the primary project delivery method arrangements with their advantages and disadvantages, and cover the three major types of contracts. It is the owner’s requirement to analyze the project delivery method advantages and disadvantages. The best way to do this is to examine the project risks and major categories of project risk. Next, we’ll address design. Good design is a result of collaboration among many different people, including the construction manager, architect, engineers, and owner. Although there is always a lead designer, the project is a combination of the collaborative process and consultation with other experts. In this course, we describe the roles and responsibilities of the construction management professional during the design phase: 1. Understanding value engineering. 2. Tasks that fall outside the design activities. These include investigations of local conditions, construction practices, labor markets, and the site conditions. 3. Knowing when to bid a project. Significant time and costs are incurred in preparing a bid. To bid or not to bid. 4. Know the construction phase, and how the work is the same no matter what contract form or project delivery method was chosen. 5. Summarize the activities necessary to properly organize and prepare a project for construction. The construction phase can be the most exciting part of the project cycle. Every day the job conditions change. There will always be problems to solve, logistical challenges to meet, and new people to work with. This is the job of the construction manager.

Más que química
El objeto de la química, como disciplina científica, se enfoca en el estudio de la materia y de los cambios que ésta experimenta. En tanto disciplina científica, a la que se le atribuye la reputación de ser una ciencia complicada y aburrida. Esta reputación, bastante inmerecida, obedece al poco conocimiento que se tiene sobre ella y sobre sus enormes posibilidades de aplicación en el mundo científico, en diferentes campos de la industria y la producción, así como en la vida cotidiana. Así, si se observa con atención el mundo, es posible identificar un sinnúmero de aplicaciones de la química, que hacen la vida más cómoda: éstas van por ejemplo desde la producción de alimentos y la generación de nuevos medicamentos, hasta la producción de nuevos materiales, de gran importancia para misiones espaciales. En este curso, distribuido en 5 módulos, se pretende aproximar al estudiante al maravilloso mundo de la Química. Cada módulo está orientado a trabajar con fundamentos o conceptos básicos de la Química, a través de cuyo estudio se posibilita su mejor comprensión y manejo. Así, el primer módulo versa sobre las medidas y cifras significativas; con él, se aprenderá acerca de la importancia de la medición en la labor del químico. En el segundo módulo se aborda el tema de los factores de conversión, necesarios para los procesos llevados a cabo en el laboratorio. En el tercero, es posible conocer la tabla periódica, su nomenclatura y sus elementos. El cuarto módulo se centra en el trabajo alrededor del concepto de mol y en fórmulas químicas, útiles para comprender las relaciones estequiométricas. Por último, en el quinto módulo se trabaja el tema de las reacciones químicas y la estequiometría, fundamentales para el trabajo no solo del químico, sino del biólogo, el farmaceuta y el ingeniero de alimentos. Este curso sirve como base para otros cursos de química, ya que, con soporte en él, se busca contribuir a resolver problemáticas que presentan muchos estudiantes cuando inician el aprendizaje de la química, a nivel universitario o de bachillerato. Cada en módulo puede encontrar lecturas, multimedias y videos. Al final de cada módulo hay una evaluación de tipo test sobre los conceptos tratados; igualmente, a partir de cada vídeo se dejan unas tareas opcionales, orientadas a trascender lo trabajado en este. Para superar el curso se pueden usar 5 semanas, con una dedicación estimada de 14 horas en total.
