Certificate in Applied Leadership

The Applied Leadership certificate is designed to support professionals working in a community-based setting who desire to develop their capacity as innovators, problem-solvers and effective community leaders. The Applied Leadership certificate program guides participants through four tracks.

Who Should Attend: Non-profit organizations, community-based organizations working in the areas of human services, social services, or education-related settings.

Track I: Growing Responsive Organizations through Applied Leadership | 22FBUS500

The impact of community-based organizations is the outgrowth of leaders who understand the importance of inclusion and innovation. In this track, participants will examine how leaders leverage self and team awareness around leadership preferences and personalities to achieve their mission. Organizational behaviors that contribute to inclusive cultures and the importance of belonging as an emotional outcome (associated with personal and professional purpose) are analyzed in context of community development.

Module 1: Becoming a Responsive Organization – On campus (September 19) Module 2: Achieving Innovation through Inclusion – Online (October 3) Module 3: Establishing a Thriving Culture – Online (October 17) Track II: Leveraging the Power of Emotional Intelligence | 22FBUS501

Emotional intelligence reflects the capacity of leaders to recognize their own emotions, the emotions of others, and leverage emotional awareness to guide thinking and behavior and to manage or adjust emotions to adapt one's leadership to changing environments or to achieve one's goals.

In this track, participants will examine the common components of emotional intelligence, analyze four distinct emotional intelligences, and learn strategies for leveraging emotional awareness to achieve organizational mission, vision, values, and goals.

Module 1: Why Emotional Intelligence is Essential to Leadership – On campus (November 7) Module 2: Understanding Self and Social Recognition & Regulation – Online (November 14) Module 3: Increasing Capacity and Influence through Emotional Intelligence – Online (December 12) Track III: Strategic Thinking and Execution | 23SBUS502

Moreover, participants will learn how to utilize lateral thinking to establish goals, develop strategy, identify key performance measures, create healthy accountability, and evaluate organizational impact.

Fundamentals of CNC Machining Certificate

The demand for qualified CNC operators is growing quickly in northeast Indiana. To meet this demand, Purdue University Fort Wayne developed the Fundamentals of CNC Machining Certificate program. Gain a working knowledge of basic machining practices as well as a knowledge of CNC code that will allow you to write programs and make program edits, rather than just loading a part and hitting the start button. Upon completion of this certificate, you will become more versatile and more valuable to a prospective employer, and you will obtain a new skill set to build on as you continue to grow in your career. Students must complete all three courses to earn the certificate.

Section 1: Beginning Machining (5 sessions) In this section on machine shop safety, discussion will center on proper usage and care of conventional machinery. Participants will learn about the use of measuring tools used in the machine shop, including simple but defining projects using horizontal and vertical bandsaws, manual lathes, mills, drilling, and tapping.

Participants will also practice defining feed and speed, as well as how to arrive at the proper thought process to achieve accurate cutting conditions. This class is designed to provide an overview for the hobbyist, auto enthusiast, or industrial workers that are looking for a place to start.

Section 2: Introduction to CNC Machining (5 sessions) Initial topics to be covered are horizontal or vertical bandsaw, drill press, lathe operation, using the lathe to form threads, and mill operations.

Following these manual operations, CNC coordinate systems, tool offsets and functions, and other introductory CNC topics will be covered. This section is designed to be valuable to shop owners and industrial workers needing more familiarity with CNC machining, engineers needing a more complete understanding of shop floor practices and calculations, and CNC operators who need a better understanding of the components and execution of a CNC program.

Highlights: • Metal cutting (horizontal/vertical bandsaw) • Drill press (speed calculations) • Milling (speed calculations, climb/conventional milling) • Lathe operation (speed calculations, tool setting, feed rate, thread cutting) Section 3: Intermediate CNC Machining (5 sessions) This section will cover more advanced topics of CNC machining using the Purdue University Fort Wayne HAAS Technical Education Center (HTEC).

Advanced M and G code programming, moving into 4th and 5th axis machining, and an introduction in CAD/CAM systems will be covered followed by hands-on experience in the HTEC center. This section is designed to provide more detailed theoretical and practical knowledge of CNC machining.

Highlights: • Advanced quadrant systems • Advanced M and G codes • Tool offsets • Intro to 4th and 5th Axis • 4th and 5th axis machining using lathes and mills 22SMFG120 | January 7 – April 15, 2023 (15 meetings) Saturdays, 8:00 a.m. – noon Instructors: John Mitchell and Jason Davis $1350 Fee includes all materials Registration deadline: December 16
