Introduction

The Graduate Certificate in Systems Engineering is designed to recognize students who have completed a four-course sequence in systems engineering. The curriculum provides students with a background in system engineering fundamentals, systesm architecture, economics and engineering management. The systems engineering body of knowledge prescribes techniques and “best practices” for developing complex or interdisciplinary products. Professional engineers may find the program beneficial in helping them understand modern product development prinicples and best practices.

Program Delivery

While the majority of the courses for this certificate program are delivered as on-campus courses, the possibilty of taking some courses on-line from the West Lafayette campus of Purdue exists.
