Cheetahtech’s education philosophy focuses on stripping subjects down to essential theory, integrated with a broad range of application. More advanced theory is included as supplemental material. This allows the broad organization to rapidly get up to speed in the subject area, while guiding the few who need to dig deeper. Every attempt is made to design instructional style to be relevant to the spectrum of learning styles.
Current Courses:
Using the force: Structure and Dynamics of the innovation process
Invisible forces act on industries and have a profound effect on a firm’s innovation and style.
Some specifics:
- - Industry structure determines the conduct of its member firms
- - Innovation is not the exclusive province of R&D
- - Architectural and radical innovation destroy existing competencies
- - Highly successful firms tend to miss disruptive innovations
- - Product and process innovation vary with product and service
- - What strategies can be used to navigate structural and dynamic forces?
Making oil and water mix: Fundamentals of food emulsions
The course focuses on the production of stable emulsions, which have good flavor and textural properties.
Topics include:
- - Preparation by overcoming surface and interfacial tension
- - Functional Ingredients in emulsion-based food products
- - Factors affecting emulsion stability
- - Rheology and texture as applied to some familiar foods
Upcoming Courses:
A practical guide to emulsions, dispersions and foams
Solids, liquids, and gases often need to be efficiently combined in a variety of industrial products. This course will guide the practitioner through this rapidly advancing field. Nanotechnology is being applied in a number of industries, such as ceramics, foods, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals.
