In this instructor-led live workshop training in Aveiro (online or onsite), participants will learn how to apply the five stages of Design Thinking to better understand the problems experienced by end-users of a product or service, then develop the best approach for resolving them.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Use creative strategies to match customers' needs with technologically feasible solutions.

Overview:

The Design Thinking (DT) process comprises five distinct stages: empathize, define the problem, ideate, prototype, and test.

In today's increasingly complex world, we frequently encounter challenges that demand specialised approaches. Design Thinking provides the framework to navigate these complexities. By mastering design thinking, individuals can address intricate problems effectively, communicate with greater clarity, persuade more efficiently, drive improved business outcomes, and enhance both organizational and personal behaviour and performance.

• How DT functions: learn from people and the problem, identify patterns, design a model (understanding model drift), test the model, evaluate it, and re-engineer as necessary.
• The interplay between DT, innovation, and entrepreneurship.
• DT methods and tools: persona, stakeholder map, customer journey map, service blueprint, business model innovation.
• Application of DT: cultivating a design mindset, disruptive innovation, iterative approaches, agile estimation techniques, critical thinking, problem solving, teamwork, leadership readiness, communication skills, technological fluency, forward-thinking, intercultural and ethical competency, emotional intelligence, self-awareness, negotiating skills, and conflict resolution.

Objectives:

• To grasp the fundamentals and nuances of DT.
• To explore key concepts, factors, theories, types, and models within DT.
• To experiment with, experience, and practice DT.

Delivery:

This is a one-day (4-hour) training course comprising:

The RISC-V ecosystem has evolved from a niche open-source instruction set architecture (ISA) into a mainstream architectural choice with substantial market momentum spanning edge computing, IoT, automotive sectors, AI acceleration, and server-class processors. Industry analyses highlight a significant talent gap: there are fewer than 5,000 RISC-V chip designers globally, compared to an estimated 15,000+ open positions within the semiconductor industry. Current hiring trends indicate that employers are prioritising candidates who possess proficiency in RISC-V architecture alongside skills in SoC design, RTL verification (UVM/SystemVerilog), AI accelerator development, Rust systems programming, confidential computing, and open-source toolchain expertise. The most rapidly growing competency areas include automotive-grade RISC-V (ISO 26262 compliance), server-class processors featuring AIA interrupt controllers and multi-core coherence, and edge AI inference NPUs. Companies such as SiFive, Qualcomm, and Western Digital have accelerated their RISC-V development efforts, intensifying the demand for engineers capable of bridging architecture specification, silicon implementation, firmware, and software stack development within a single skill set.

This course provides a comprehensive exploration of software architecture principles and their practical implementation within cloud environments, with a specific emphasis on AWS (Amazon Web Services) and Java. Participants will acquire the skills necessary to design, develop, and deploy scalable and resilient applications utilizing AWS services alongside the Java programming language.

As distributed systems become increasingly complex, the challenge has shifted from the intricacies of a single application to the complexity inherent in the architecture of interconnected systems. This course explores the dynamic relationship between Software Architecture and Technical Enterprise Architecture. These two domains are closely linked, yet this connection is often not fully articulated. For instance, decomposing a complex monolithic application into two distinct systems that communicate via web services necessitates significant changes to both the individual systems and the architectural interactions between them.

Throughout this course, we will examine the trade-offs involved, along with prevalent patterns and solutions for managing complex systems and the communication channels within and between them.
