| "Industria 4.0: fundamentos y alcances en el sistema eléctrico" |
| "Crecer en un contexto económico capitalista es producir más bienes y servicios. Esto significa generar más riqueza, la cual crea mayor cantidad de empleos, prosperidad y calidad de vida en las sociedades. Contar con mayor riqueza suele darles más bienestar a las sociedades de los países que logran generarla; por ello los países con un PIB (Producto Interno Bruto) superior suelen tener más peso en el mundo y los países con menor PIB están ligados con los indicadores de desarrollo humano más bajos. Algunos países como Alemania lanzaron desde hace una década estrategias como la “Industrie 4.0” para lograr una posición de liderazgo en el mundo, Japón con el “National Network for Manufacturing Innovation”, China con “Made in China 2025”, lo mismo otras naciones como EUA, Corea del Sur y Taiwán. Todas estas estrategias encaminadas a elevar la productividad y mantener una posición de ventaja en el mercado mundial para generar más riquezas y beneficios a sus países. Todas estas estrategias están encaminadas a elevar la productividad y mantener una posición de ventaja en el mercado mundial; asimismo, dichas estrategias se conforman de diversos principios rectores para hacer más eficientes y flexibles los procesos de producción de las empresas tomando ventaja de los últimos avances tecnológicos. Hoy en día, las economías emergentes se encuentran ante la disyuntiva de seguir basando sus sistemas de producción en una mano de obra barata y en el futuro ser engullidas por las empresas pertenecientes a la llamada Cuarta Revolución Industrial, o bien, invertir en tecnología y la generación de capital humano para modernizar los procesos productivos y con ello seguir siendo competitivos en el futuro. Por esta razón, vale la pena inspeccionar este curso de ingeniería y conocer que es la “Industria 4.0”, reflexionar si realmente nos encontramos viviendo la Cuarta Revolución Industrial, y darle respuesta a las siguientes preguntas ¿La Industria 4.0 es un neologismo de moda? ¿Cuáles son los cambios necesarios para mantenerse avante en esta nueva revolución? ¿Qué son los sistemas ciberfísicos?"

| "Energía: pasado, presente y futuro" |
| "Nuestras economías están sedientas de energía. Sin energía la economía mundial simplemente se detendría en seco; no habría generación suficiente de electricidad, combustibles para los automóviles, transporte público, transporte terrestre de mercancías, ya sea por ferrocarril o autobús. No se podrían mover las mercancías por vía marítima, la producción alimenticia sufriría de problemas, el suministro de agua potable se vería comprometido. La energía ha permitido desde finales del Siglo XVIII, un desarrollo sin igual en los ámbitos científico, tecnológico y económico de nuestra sociedad. Hemos gozado, hasta ahora, de un suministro relativamente barato de energía a través de los combustibles fósiles, generando un impacto ambiental negativo. La trayectoria seleccionada de consumo de combustibles fósiles hasta el momento, no es sostenible a largo plazo. De ahí el reto que no debemos esquivar, aun cuando lo podríamos negar: ¿qué debemos hacer para lograr una supervivencia futura hacia una economía de bajo carbono con una menor dependencia de los combustibles fósiles, y así asegurar que las generaciones futuras tengan la posibilidad de disfrutar una mejor calidad de vida? Estamos ante un hito histórico sobre cómo debemos usar y apropiarnos de los recursos naturales, así como trabajar en disminuir la pobreza y desigualdad social. Este curso te permitirá adentrarte al fascinante mundo de la energía. Los contenidos del curso, además de brindarte herramientas para la interpretación y manejo de información básica sobre la energía, te llevarán a través de los cambios históricos ligados con la energía que han sido fundamentales en el desarrollo de la sociedad moderna. Los contenidos del curso te ayudarán a la resolución de preguntas como: ¿ha sido siempre la energía un factor de cambio en el desarrollo de la sociedad? ¿la era del petróleo se terminará antes de que se termine el petróleo? ¿cuál es la importancia actual de los energéticos en la economía? ¿te imaginas cómo se obtendrá la energía necesaria para mantener nuestra calidad de vida en el futuro?"

| "The Science of Parenting" |
| "Everyone has an opinion on parenting – where babies should sleep, what they should eat, and whether parents should spank, scold, or praise. What’s more, the media often offers support for whichever opinions appear most popular at any given time. This leaves those of us who like to base our decisions on firm, provable facts feeling dizzy.“The Science of Parenting” addresses this confusion by moving beyond the chatter and opinion surrounding parenting, and by looking directly at the science. Parenting itself is far from a science. Nevertheless, scientists have conducted thousands of studies that can help parents – or future parents – make sensible, informed decisions. One goal of this course will be to provide a survey of important scientific findings spanning a range of topics that are central to the lives of parents: diet sleep discipline learning screen time impulse control vaccination We’ll also explore ongoing mysteries, like what causes autism, and why so many children are allergic to peanuts.Perhaps more important, this course will not only dig into existing science, but will also explore the underlying nature of parenting science itself. Often, scientists measure correlations: They ask how different parenting practices are related to different behaviors in children. But the claims they make from ' correlational data are often much, much stronger. For example, from correlational data, scientists often claim that parents cause the behaviors of their kids. This course will show how this type of error – common in the scientific literature – can explain a significant amount of the confusion present in the media and general public. We will discuss how to avoid the same error when evaluating science, and how to use the sum of available evidence to inform decision making.The course’s instructor, David Barner, is a leading authority on cognitive development. He is joined by leading experts on behavior genetics, vaccination, autism, lying, and spanking, as well as by real live parents who try to use science to inform their decisions. This class is suitable not only for parents, future parents, and grandparents, but also for professionals interested in health care, social work, and early childhood education who want to increase their knowledge and analysis skills."
