This course equips students to deliver engineering information to appropriate stakeholders in a suitable format and timely manner through three progressive themes: <strong>information architecture, digital twin planning, and low-code automation</strong>.</p> <p>The three themes build on one another like a foundation, a structure, and a data pipeline: students first establish governance theory and standards, then design digital twin deployments on top of that foundation, and finally automate the flow between them.</p> <h2 id="what-youll-learn">What You&rsquo;ll Learn</h2> <div class="hb-cards mt-4 grid gap-4 not-prose" style="--hb-cols: 1;"> <a class="hb-card group"> <span class="hb-card-title pt-4 px-4"> <svg style="height: 1em;
