Course Overview

The Traditional and Non-Traditional Optimization Tools training is designed to explain the optimization process and its principles in depth. You will study traditional optimization tools during this course, including their subgroups, namely - direct search and gradient search methods, steepest descent, random walk method, etc. You will become aware of the significance of optimization to develop the most efficient product at the lowest cost.

The Traditional and Non-Traditional Optimization Tools online program also provides insights into non-traditional tools of optimization such as the genetic algorithm (GA), particle swarm optimization, simulated annealing, etc. It is an eight-week-long course with 20 hours of video lectures, where these methods will be explained along with relevant numerical examples.

The Traditional and Non-Traditional Optimization Tools certification course teaches working principles of multi-objective optimization. These include goal programming, distance-based Pareto-GA, weighted sum approach, and more. You will also understand techniques to handle constraints, benefits, and drawbacks of GA. This elective course also provides a completion certificate when you fulfill certain criteria.
