| "Critical thinking: reasoned decision making" |
| "Making decisions in today's world, a world increasing in complexity, with broad changes and uncertainty, creates the need of approaches that allow us to discern the real problems and the causes that create them. Identifying these problems, in most cases, requires challenging the assumptions on which we base our judgments, regarding the world and its realities. Critical thinking could be defined, as ""that way of thinking - on any subject, content or problem - in which the thinker improves the quality of his thinking by seizing the inherent structures of the act of thinking and by subjecting them to intellectual standards"". Critical thinking helps making decisions within a company, selecting the best action for the organization. In this course of critical thinking the students will learn the tendencies, approximations and assumptions on which their reflections are based, and the conditions and the outcomes derived from their ways of thinking. This reflective thought is the active, careful and persistent examination of all beliefs in the light of the fundamentals that support them and their conclusions. The reasoned decisions that the world requires, occur in many different areas, especially in business decisions, related to strategies, in the solution of problems in organizations, in the solution of social problems and in corporations’ social and ethical responsibility. In this online course the approaches will be oriented to analyze the critical thinking required in these areas."

| "Negotiation Skills and Effective Communication" |
| "We start making negotiations as soon as our day begins, through all our interactions, either work, social, or family-related. But have you ever wondered how efficiently you negotiate, and whether you could be better at it? This is a straightforward opportunity to put into practice all the knowledge you have acquired, and to confirm that the negotiation process is dynamic and can always be improved. The course integrates the most recent advances in the development of negotiation skills, based on modern life complexities, in a simple and direct way. We start out with the structure of effective communication in a negotiation, with the intention of identifying our opportunity areas, and improving them through active learning mechanisms. And what can we say about the role emotions play in a negotiation process? It is necessary to acknowledge , manage, and take advantage of them by using emotional intelligence mechanisms. Negotiation, by definition, implies the relationship between two or more parties who eventually express opposing interests and demand skills for problem-solving. In this course you will learn to identify and manage its irreversible consequences in advance."

| "Negotiation Strategies and Styles" |
| "The dilemma of the negotiator is a phenomenon that is derived from the tension that arises when, in the light of a specific situation, the optimum negotiation strategy must be discerned. The term was made popular by Professors David Lax and James Sebenius, of the Harvard Business School, to exemplify the dilemma between cooperating and competing in a negotiation. In this course, we first analyze the structure of the Dual Matrix that brings forth the five negotiation strategies, identifying the strengths and weaknesses of each, and the situations in which they work out best. We study the behaviours that lead to each strategy in order to reflect about our negotiation profile, which has historically driven us to use a preferential strategy, but which is not necessarily yielding the results expected. The participant will develop competences for strategic decision making, which will enable him to achieve the greatest benefit from a negotiation, in terms of creation of value and satisfaction between the parties involved."

| "Leadership and organizational behavior" |
| "Leadership is everywhere. It is involved in nearly every social action, in some form. Many people who have the potential to be leaders do not realize it. Many who become leaders do not know how to manage those responsibilities. Great leaders can inspire change; bad leaders can cripple their followers with stress and frustration. What differentiates these two is a clear vision, an effective plan, and knowledge of how people work. In this class, you will learn the foundations of psychology at work, so that you can better understand others and guide them to shared goals. Along the way, you will answer these questions: Why do you want to be a leader? What kind of leader can you be? How can you persuade and influence people? How can you motivate and inspire people? Whether you are a formal or informal leader."

| "Transfer Functions and the Laplace Transform" |
| "This course is about the Laplace Transform, a single very powerful tool for understanding the behavior of a wide range of mechanical and electrical systems: from helicopters to skyscrapers, from light bulbs to cell phones. This tool captures the behavior of the system and displays it in highly graphical form that is used every day by engineers to design complex systems. This course is centered on the concept of the transfer function of a system. Also called the system function, the transfer function completely describes the response of a system to any input signal in a highly conceptual manner. This visualization occurs not in the time domain, where we normally observe behavior of systems, but rather in the “frequency domain.” We need a device for moving from the time domain to the frequency domain; this is the Laplace transform. We will illustrate these principles using concrete mechanical and electrical systems such as tuned mass dampers and RLC circuits. The five modules in this seriesare being offered as an XSeries on edX. Please visit the Differential EquationsXSeries Program Page to learn more and to enroll in the modules."

| "En la actualidad existen diversas formas de consumo de energía que no han sido implementadas completamente en la región y que impactan distintos contextos como residencial, industrial, transporte, comercial y de servicios. Por ejemplo, un alto porcentaje de la energía que consumimos en nuestros hogares podría reducirse si cambiáramos las prácticas diarias de uso sin impactar fuertemente la calidad de vida. Estaríamos generando un gran ahorro energético. Este curso en línea enseña cómo se puede ahorrar energía. Por otra parte, no toda la energía que demanda el sector industrial se convierte en energía útil, ya que en muchos procesos industriales el calor generado se libera al medio ambiente cuando éste puede ser reutilizado para otro proceso. Esto podría ser mejorado al cambiar la infraestructura de las fábricas sin generar grandes costos. Asimismo, la energía empleada para el transporte público y personal puede ser mucho mejor aprovechada, por ejemplo, al mejorar los servicios y prácticas de uso. Además, el consumo de combustibles alternativos y la implementación de vehículos eléctricos e híbridos es una oportunidad que casi no ha sido explotada. Los beneficios de ahorro en estos sectores impactarían directamente al medio ambiente, a la economía, a la productividad, etc. En este curso en línea estudiaremos a fondo los problemas y las soluciones relacionados al aprovechamiento de energía, incluyendo algunos casos de estudio en diferentes contextos. En este curso trataremos diferentes tipos de energía, y cómo podemos ser más eficientes en su consumo."
