Digital Engineering Certificate

The Graduate Certificate in Digital Engineering is designed to prepare engineers and professionals to thrive in the rapidly evolving field of digital engineering (DE). This certificate is ideal for those seeking to enhance their employability and stand out in a competitive market, where industries are increasingly adopting digital threads, digital twins, and other cutting-edge DE practices. Additionally, it serves as a strong foundation for pursuing an MS in Systems Engineering (SYE) or a PhD in Systems and Industrial Engineering (SIE).Students will gain hands-on experience working within a real-world Digital Engineering environment. The curriculum focuses on the methods and processes needed to design, build, and maintain digital ecosystems that integrate engineering models, simulations, and data across the product lifecycle. As part of their coursework, students will be embedded in a Digital Engineering Factory, a unique experiential learning environment where they will apply DE principles to solve practical, industry-relevant challenges.With a nationwide shortage of professionals trained in DE, this certificate program is the only one in the U.S. specifically dedicated to this critical discipline. Whether the student is seeking to advance their career or contribute to the future of systems engineering, this certificate will provide the student with knowledge, tools, and experience to lead digital transformation in engineering fields.
