About the Program

The systems engineering graduate certificate provides a fundamental understanding of systems engineering principles and practices. Students will learn the basic skills to manage processes relevant to complex systems design, development, integration, test and evaluation as well as validate the systems design.

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. In addition to earning the graduate certificate, students will qualify for a Systems Engineering Professional (SEP) Certification from INCOSE.

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

Courses completed in this certificate program can be applied to earning the Master of Science degree in Systems Engineering and / or most other master’s degree programs within the School of Engineering.

The systems engineering graduate certificate is affiliated with our nationally ranked systems engineering master’s degree program that prepares students for any systems engineering challenge.

The Drexel program has the following discriminators:
