High Tech Institute

Deep at his core, Stefan Bäumer is an optics fanatic. He finds great passion in teaching because he likes to spread knowledge and, as he says, it keeps him on his toes. With undiminished enthusiasm, he has been providing the optics training “Modern optics for optical designers” at High Tech Institute for years. The training is tough – covering all aspects of optics – but also very valuable, participants tell him afterward. Read the interview and take a look at his training, starting 21 January 2022. https://bit.ly/3k61b0L

In-depth optics training keeps both students and the teacher sharp The fact that this optics training gives an overview of the entire field of optics makes it unique. Check out the course description.

Not unlike the arts, analog electronic design often hinges on intuition and sparks of inspiration. Anton Montagne has no qualms about that, but it’s no way to teach the subject. The self-described free spirit has made it his life work to offer a structured approach to analog electronic design. Montagne is involved in the training ‘Design of analog electronics – analog IC design‘ and several others.

Being creative isn’t always easy, especially working in high tech. This certainly holds true for Roger Amiot, a senior compliance engineer at Fluidwell. “Almost all my professional activities are closely tied to industry safety standards and just by nature, that means I’m very limited in opportunities to be creative.” Amiot wanted to see how he could push himself to get out of his comfort zone and participated in the training ‘Creative thinking’.

Handling security needs a healthy level of paranoia, and this is what this course provides: a strong emotional engagement by lots of hand on labs and stories from real life, all to substantially improve code hygiene. Mistakes, consequences and best practices are our blood, sweat and tears. All this is put in the context of C and C++, and extended by core programming issues, discussing security pitfalls of code written in these languages. So that you are prepared for the forces of the dark side.

In the High Tech Industry a lot of projects have a multidisciplinary character. People from different disciplines have to work together closely to create optimal solutions, making 1 + 1 = 3.
Multidisciplinary teamwork means understanding “just enough” about what the other is doing, what kind of world he/she is living in. Especially for engineers designing real tangible stuff it is not easy to understand how the abstract software world looks like. But at the same time, the amount of software in complex systems is growing rapidly.

Modeling? We don’t do that. Design-patterns? Let’s skip it. Because we work agile. Onno van Roosmalen hears it regularly: Agile as an excuse, or even a pretext not to take software architecture seriously. As a trainer in the field of software development, he sees that there are many misunderstandings around the issues related to non-functional requirements: architecture, interfaces, performance, modeling, maintainability, you name it. Read the interview and take a look at his training ‘Design patterns and emergent architecture’, starting on 9 November. https://bit.ly/3DTMMfD

“If it works, managers think it’s pretty much done.” - High Tech Institute Software development often focuses entirely on filling in functionality; there is no time for issues such as maintainability, architecture and performance. While it doesn’t need to be difficult, says software trainer Onno van Roosmalen, but there are misunderstandings about Agile, architecture, UM...
