This certificate program is designed to address industry's increased needs for engineers who can develop new and innovative technologies. It will prepare today's engineers to be competitive in taking on the new challenges.
The purpose of this graduate-certificate program in mechanical engineering is to enable engineers to become more innovative in the design of engineering systems without formally pursuing a graduate degree. The certificate will provide a core set of courses on origami based design, optimal mechatronics system design, and environmental pollution control. The projects assigned in these courses are based on new ideas which will be solved during the semester using studio based methodology. Students completing this certificate will be able to contribute the knowledge gained to serve the respective companies more effectively
Total requirements: 12 credit hours.
To earn a certificate, the students admitted to this certificate program are required to complete twelve credit hours of graduate courses. There are courses in the primary and related areas. The certificate requires selection of at least two courses in the primary area (6 credit hours) and the rest in related area.
