About the Program

The Graduate Certificate in Systems Engineering teaches students the process and art of systems engineering. Students learn systems engineering tools and skills to integrate user needs, manage requirements, conduct technological evaluation, and build elaborate system architectures. The courses devote particular attention to knowledge, skills, mindset, and leadership qualities needed to be a successful systems engineering leader in the field.

This graduate certificate is certified by the International Council on Systems Engineering (INCOSE), and it is one of only several curricula in the world to hold this distinction. Graduates will automatically qualify for the CSEP (Certified Systems Engineering Professional) or ASEP (Associate Systems Engineering Professional) without having to take the certification exam. For more information about this certification, refer to INCOSE SEP Certification.

Any students working or interested in the field of systems engineering should consider pursuing and completing this certificate.
