Certificate in Systems Engineering (Curriculum 282)
Systems Engineering is a disciplined approach to finding the right solution to the right problem: on-time, on-budget, supportable, and with minimal risk.
The Certificate Program consists of four, fully-accredited courses delivered entirely on-line over a one-year period. The course content and projects will challenge the student academically and address current problems of interest to the Department of Defense. The courses are paced week-to-week by the instructors, but the students have great flexibility to do their coursework at times of their choosing during each week.
