Certificate Plan of Study
Achieve a depth of knowledge in systems engineering practices and methods to contribute to and expand your company’s systems engineering expertise and capabilities. The Graduate Certificate comprises 4 courses (12 credits) and can be completed in 1 to 2 years of part-time enrollment. Four to six courses are offered every fall and spring semester in our fully online format that allows completion of the certificate quickly, from anywhere in the world.
Graduate Certificate Program Objectives
- Engineers and technical managers learn how systems engineering practices, processes, and methods can be applied to the design of cyber-physical systems.
- Graduates see the “big picture” of systems engineering from an organizational and process viewpoint and can apply basic design methodologies of systems engineering to cyber-physical systems.
- Students engage in a multidisciplinary environment that promotes experientially-based development of expertise in model-based systems engineering.
Select 4 Courses
Group 1 Introductory – Select 1 Course Minimum (3 Credits)
