The Post-baccalaureate 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, systems 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 principles and best practices.
Program Delivery:
