The credit hours earned from the certificate programs could be applied toward fulfilling a mechanical engineering bachelor’s and master’s degree requirement.
The College of Engineering is now offering three graduate certificates: Advanced Manufacturing, Data Analytics in Engineering, and Engineering Project Management. The certificates require a total of 12 credit hours to complete.
The Advanced Manufacturing certification was created specifically for working engineering professionals, and students to acquire advanced mechanical engineering knowledge, such as data-driven design, manufacturing, and optimization of mechanical systems. This certification allows students and engineering professionals to acquire new skillsets for the next step in their careers.
The Data Analytics in Engineering certification offers students a pathway to train for industry opportunities and acquire rigorous analytical skills for graduate programs. In this program, students will learn critical techniques to design and gain knowledge in data mining, statistical essentials, machine learning methods, and data visualization.
The college also offers an online graduate certificate in Engineering Project Management. This certification prepares students to execute projects efficiently and cost-effectively while minimizing errors and producing consistent, predictable results. Students will explore the advanced tools, techniques, and skill sets required in project management, including advanced risk analysis and management techniques, Lean Six Sigma, advanced engineering economics, and project planning and control.
Dr. Bibian Ogbuji, Assistant Research Professor in the College of Engineering, said these certificates will help graduate students and industry professionals broaden their expertise.
"The Engineering Graduate Certifications allow industry professionals and students to learn critical techniques and provide the opportunity to gain advanced skillsets in high demand for the workforce," Ogbuji said.
The credit hours earned from the certificate programs could be applied toward fulfilling a mechanical engineering bachelor’s and master’s degree requirement.
