Syllabus

WEEK 1
Conceptos básicos
El objetivo de este módulo es que puedas conocer los aspectos básicos de los sistemas de transporte, su relevancia en la sociedad y el enfoque de análisis que usaremos en este curso. Les invitamos a ver el video de introducción al curso y a responder un cuestionario inicial que nos ayudará a entender mejor cuáles son sus necesidades e inquietudes. Deseamos que disfruten del curso y ¡mucha suerte!

WEEK 2
Introducción a los modelos de demanda - Parte 1
El objetivo de este módulo es que seas capaz de entender las diferentes decisiones de los usuarios al momento de realizar un viaje. Al finalizar este módulo comprenderás como estas decisiones se modelan y se relacionan matemáticamente. Podrás comparar y aplicar los diferentes modelos de generación, atracción y distribución de viajes de pasajeros, distinguiendo las ventajas y desventajas de cada uno de ellos.

WEEK 3
Introducción a los modelos de demanda - Parte 2
El objetivo de este módulo es introducir los modelos desagregados de modelación de demanda y comprender su diferencia con los enfoques agregados. Al finalizar el módulo comprenderás los principales supuestos de la Teoría de Utilidad Aleatoria, y serás capaz de plantear y resolver modelos Logit Multinomial aplicados a ejemplos sencillos. A partir de los modelos anteriores podrás construir un modelo de partición modal.

WEEK 4
Teoría de colas
El objetivo de este módulo es que comprendas el concepto de variabilidad y los efectos que tiene sobre los sistemas y servicios. Al final de este módulo serás capaz de construir el diagrama de curvas de flujos acumulados para cualquier situación dada y, a partir de él, inferir información relevante. Esto te dará la información necesaria para resolver problemas de teoría de colas utilizando el Teorema de Little e identificar otro tipo de sistemas Markovianos.

WEEK 5
Equilibrio de sistemas de transporte
El objetivo de este módulo es que comprendas cómo el sistema puede alcanzar el equilibrio, y los distintos estados a los que puede llegar. A partir de esto podrás identificar y saber cómo solucionar una serie de fenómenos que aparecen en las redes de transporte.

WEEK 6
Evaluación social de proyectos
El objetivo de este módulo es que puedas aprender cómo evaluar un proyecto de transporte desde su perspectiva social. Al final de este módulo serás capaz de identificar para un proyecto específico, los diferentes actores afectados, sus costos, beneficios en diferentes cortes temporales y su valor presente. Esto te dará información relevante para identificar los mejores proyectos a ejecutar dentro de un conjunto de opciones posibles. Finalmente serás capaz de identificar y comprender los supuestos, simplificaciones e impacto de estas decisiones en la práctica.

Design and Interpretation of Clinical Trials (Coursera)

Clinical trials are experiments designed to evaluate new interventions to prevent or treat disease in humans. The interventions evaluated can be drugs, devices (e.g., hearing aid), surgeries, behavioral interventions (e.g., smoking cessation program), community health programs (e.g. cancer screening programs) or health delivery systems (e.g., special care units for hospital admissions). We consider clinical trials experiments because the investigators rather the patients or their doctors select the treatment the patients receive.

Planning: Principled, Proposing, Proofing, and Practicing to a Success Plan (Coursera)

According to Steven Blank a business startup, or any new venture startup is essentially a proto-type. Thus the startup process essentially becomes a learning process to refine that business proto-type into a scalable, replicable finished 'product'. At the end of this course learners will be able to: complete a business model summarizing assumptions about what value they will offer to whom, and how they will make money; systematically test and validate these assumptions within the constraints of their available resources, and; use these validated assumptions to generate financial projections that are based on actual resources and efforts expended.
