STEPPING INTO AI & MACHINE LEARNING – Workshop

INSTRUCTOR-LED WORKSHOP WITH HANDS-ON TRAINING

Dr. Mohammad Islam

Associate Director

Optum – United Healthcare Inc.

Certificate: Provided after examination/Homework

In this hands-on workshop, participants will embark on an immersive journey into the world of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML), two of the most transformative technologies driving innovation today. Designed for beginners and those with a foundational understanding of AI, this session will demystify key concepts, algorithms, and tools used in the field. Attendees will explore real-world applications of AI and ML across various industries, including healthcare, manufacturing, finance, and more while gaining practical experience through interactive exercises and projects.

As part of the certification process, participants must complete a short homework assignment and pass an exam at the end of the workshop. The homework will involve applying key AI/ML concepts to a real-world dataset, where participants must implement basic machine learning models using a recommended platform.

Completing the homework will qualify participants to receive a Certificate of Achievement, validating their skills and knowledge in AI and Machine Learning at the basic level. Join us as we step into the future of intelligent systems and learn how to harness their power for innovation!

Agent-Based Simulation (using AnyLogic) – Basic

Speakers: Dr. John Pastrana,

Dr. Mario Marin, Simulation Interoperability Laboratory

Certificate: UCF Simulation Interoperability Laboratory

This introductory workshop will guide participants through the foundational concepts of Agent-Based Simulation (ABS) using the AnyLogic platform. This session will focus on the basics of ABS, exploring how to model and simulate complex systems by representing individual agents and their interactions. Expert speakers Dr. John Pastrana and Dr. Mario Marin from the Simulation Interoperability Laboratory will lead the session. Participants will learn key techniques for designing, building, and analyzing agent-based models with real-world applications spanning industries such as healthcare, manufacturing, logistics, and more.

By the end of the workshop, attendees will have a practical understanding of how to use AnyLogic to create dynamic, agent-driven simulations. After passing an assessment/modeling, participants will be awarded a certificate from the UCF Simulation Interoperability Laboratory, validating their proficiency in basic agent-based simulation.

Empowering Leadership Through Emotional Intelligence

Dr. Tony Prensa

In today’s fast-paced and complex world, emotional intelligence (EI) has become crucial for effective leadership. This engaging workshop, led by leadership expert Tony Prensa, will delve into the principles of Emotional Intelligence and how it can be leveraged to enhance leadership capabilities. Participants will explore key EI competencies, such as self-awareness, empathy, and emotional regulation, essential for building strong teams, improving communication, and making thoughtful decisions. Through interactive discussions, real-life scenarios, and practical exercises, attendees will gain insights into managing emotions under pressure, fostering positive work environments, and inspiring others to perform at their best.

After the workshop, participants will take a final assessment to evaluate their understanding of the concepts. They will be awarded a Certificate in Emotional Intelligence for Leadership upon successful completion, recognizing their enhanced leadership skills through EI mastery.
