Professional Learning Open-, Inhouse-, and
e-Learning Courses for Engineers

Professor Albert J.P Theuwissen at the Delft University of Technology, the Netherlands and CEO of Harvest Imaging, Belgium is the instructor for the advanced course in image sensors and digital cameras, focusing on hands-on evaluation and measurements of existing image sensors and cameras.

This training is the very first one of its kind and offers the participants the opportunity to work in the classroom with existing cameras and do the evaluation of the devices themselves. Laptops, cameras, lightsources, power supplies, test charts and other equipment needed will be provided. The amount of participants in the class room is limited to allow an optimal interaction between trainer and trainees. The theoretical background of the measurements will be explained first.

Digital cameras are an essential part of our daily life, e.g. in mobile phones, camcorders, digital photography, cars, and in imaging applications for medical, industrial and broadcasti

This course is developed to provide theoretical familiarity and hands-on experience with digital cameras and associated topics with focus on the overall system aspects. The complete path will be discussed from "photons in" to "digital numbers out". The effect of light sources, optics, imagers, defects, and data processing will be covered.

This 1-day course in Industrial Cyber Security teaches theory and hands-on training by competing in the Kaspersky Interactive Protection Simulation (KIPS) game. This course is targeted at engineers, IT personnel and line managers. 

The KIPS game is used at BASF, CERN, Mitsubishi, Yokogawa, RusHydro, Panasonic, ISA (International Society of Automation), and others, to train their own engineers, developers, and customer-facing personal how to tnote and handle cybersecurity in industrial automation environments.

This course (Rapid IoT Development) will go through the usual hardware and software development practices to help highlight where having the ability to rapidly prototype and develop the IoT portion of the overall solution can help get to market much faster than expected. From there tools, techniques, and experience will be introduced to help decrease the development time, quickly create a proof of concept, or possibility increase a current solutions IoT capability

Today, the cybersecurity of industrial systems and critical infrastructures is of vital importance. An increasing number of such systems are using devices and channels that interact with the outside world. Sometimes they use equipment that was never intended for external access, not to mention software that was created decades ago and has not been upgraded since! This is a very serious issue because not only is the continuity of the production process at stake; the environment and even human lives can be at risk.

Join our 2-day course taught by experts from Kaspersky Lab and learn all about industrial cyber security. 

Practical filter design methods for cavity combline filters for wireless systems.

This course is focused on practical filter design methods for cavity combline filters for wireless systems. The core material is a universal procedure for narrow band filter design that can be applied to virtually any filter technology or topology. The procedure is rooted in Dishal's method with powerful extensions that include the port tuning concept, equal ripple optimization techniques, and efficient EM simulation. All the techniques presented can be implemented using commercially available CAD tools.

When applying for this course No 030 we strongly recommend that you combine this course with the sequentially scheduled course No 031 "Cavity Filters and Multiplexers for Wireless Applications" given the same week.

Please note that participants attending both course 030 and course 031 will benefit from a reduced total course fee.  Book the combined course!

Venture Capital is a driving force behind entrepreneurship and innovation.

In 2016, there were 3,260 acquisitions of technology companies and only 98 tech IPOs, according to CB Insights. If that ratio holds, a startup is 30 times as likely to be acquired as to go public.

On an annual basis, the number of funding rounds at all stages grew by a projected 8.8 percent from Q2 2016, which means roughly 500 more rounds, driven by robust growth in deals struck with earlier-stage companies.

As you see from the numbers, technology investors fuel the economy, create growth opportunities for companies large and small, and funds the business development strategies of major corporations. But when you think of venture capitalists, you might think of large VC funds like Sequoia or Andreessen-Horowitz. If you've worked in finance, perhaps you think of private equity, acquisitions, and mezzanine funds. However, this couldn't be further from the truth. As a corporate executive, manager, or business owner, you too can become involved in the hottest new technology trends.

Without knowledge, investing in early-stage technology startups can seem like a fun and profitable process, but in reality it is risky and can be opaque without proper training and clarification on how all processes within the ecosystem work.

After the two days of this program, however, you will come away with the basic skills and insights needed to move forward. You will be taught by Silicon Valley and New York VCs, lawyers and other players in the venture scene.

This class will also help you understand whether you want to explore Angel Investing as a full- or part-time job or whether you simply wish to integrate your current corporate processes into the venture system.
