Mastering Robotic Process Automation with UiPath
Empowering Digital Transformation
This course will provide student with a good grasp of Robotic Process Automation using UiPath, a popular RPA platform.
Michael Tan, a Senior Lecturer at Nanyang Business School, is currently teaching a course titled "Robotics Process Automation in Analytics.", a module of the Master of Science in Business Analytics degree. In 2019, he began teaching Robotics Process Automation (RPA) using UiPath at the Institute of Systems Science, National University of Singapore. In 2023, he published a teaching case titled "Planning for a Successful Robotic Process Automation (RPA) Project and Beyond." His competence and passion to teaching were recognized when he got UiPath's "Educator of the Week" award. Michael's skills and views have earned him a spot on a panel at the upcoming Automation Asia virtual conference, as well as guest lectures on RPA at the University of New South Wales (UNSW) and the Institute of Engineering Management (IEM). Prior to joining Nanyang Business School, he spent 11 years teaching at National University of Singapore.
