MIT Certified Engineer

 






Recently, I got an opportunity to Audit Management in Engineering (parts -1 & 2) at MIT ( Massachusetts Institute of Technology online courses) on edX platform and I found the participation very informative and knowledgeable.  According to edX, these courses are part of semester studies from degree courses.
Needless to mention, MIT is World's no.1 University.

Below is the result of one of my Audits:





Quoted from Google.com :

 "MicroMasters programs are a series of online graduate level courses offered by universities through edX that one can take to develop standalone skills for career advancement or earn graduate level credentials from its respective universities, equivalent to a semester of a full master's degree."

Online Technology






Just recently, I took few online courses and realized tremendous potential of internet to boost up various aspects of life and be instrumental in bringing the world closer together.
After my return from US and Europe from a lucrative career, I returned back to some of my old days of life to refresh myself with few educational stuff. Use of internet as a channel was exceedingly helpful in bringing back the old days and memories through immense networking capacity and connectivity. Online technology is very helpful for training, business, sales and marketing, social platforms, groupism, etc.

To name few of the areas that online technology has influenced are:

1. Online Local Food delivery systems.
2. Online global Shops and markets.     
3. Online sharing of knowledge bases.  
      4. Online training, coaching and education.
5. Online help and customer service.    
   6. Online payments and money transfers.
7. Online banking.                                 
8. Online social networking.                 
9. Online jobs.                                       
10. eGovernance.                                   
11. eBooks.                                            
         12. Online documents and form submissions.
    13. Online Supply chains and distribution.
14. Online Experimental Labs.              
            15. Online tours & travels reservation systems.

For all of these activities, cyber security becomes an important feature to be considered  in order to protect all transactions, data & information from external interference/manipulations. Secured online sessions and use of firewalls must be considered.
Appropriate usernames and passwords is recommended. Implementation of relevant security measures on Host computers and across networks is advisable.
