Systems Engineering Certificate
The graduate certificate in systems engineering (SYEN) is intended to develop the capabilities required to apply current tools and approaches to solve complex systems engineering problems in a variety of application domains. Students are able to apply mathematical and scientific principles to the interdisciplinary engineering design, development and operation of systems that efficiently satisfy stakeholder needs, fulfill the intended operation and have a long and useful operating life. In this integrative and leadership role, systems engineers find success by being able to leverage their technical expertise and experiences while integrating multiple disciplinary perspectives, assessing and managing risks, and inspiring and guiding valuable solutions.
The certificate in systems engineering requires four courses for a total of 12 credit hours. The 12 credits of course work are proposed by a student in consultation with the program director or academic adviser. All certificate programs meet the requirements in the Graduate School Bulletin, including any course prerequisite requirements. Any deviations from the approved courses in the Graduate School Bulletin or course substitutions must be approved by the Certificate Faculty Sponsor and the associate dean for academic affairs in the Opus College of Engineering. This certificate is designed for practicing professionals. As such, it is anticipated that only the part-time option is likely to be pursued.
