Systems Engineering Certificate

Increasingly, engineers are called upon to integrate subsystems and processes across an enterprise or organization, and doing so requires a set of tools, techniques, and skills in systems engineering. Systems engineering is an interdisciplinary field in which a client's needs are analyzed and approached in a methodical system that is refined until it meets established goals. It is a well-developed body of knowledge, techniques, and methodologies in general use throughout technically complex organizations. All aspects of the systems engineering process &ndsh; from initial requirements development to analysis, risk assessment, test and verification, - must be carefully planned and executed.

In the Systems Engineering Certificate Program, you will gain practical experience in interpreting client needs, maintaining efficient project management and mastering engineering processes. If you are currently employed in the field of engineering, gain skill sets important for advancement.

Developed with an Advisory Committee composed of senior practitioners at the U.S. Army Aviation and Missile Command, the Space and Missile Defense Command, NASA Marshall Space Flight Center, academia, and private industry, the program offers you the opportunity to learn from the most respected industry experts.
