System Test and Evaluation Certificate

The graduate certificate in System Test and Evaluation (T&E) is designed to prepare engineers and professionals to excel in the critical field of systems testing and evaluation. This certificate is ideal for those aiming to increase their employability and stand out in a competitive market where industries are continuously challenged by the complexity of emerging technologies. The program also provides a robust foundation for pursuing an MS in Systems Engineering (SYE) or a PhD in Systems and Industrial Engineering (SIE).Students will gain hands-on experience in advanced test and evaluation techniques necessary to ensure the reliability, safety, and performance of today¿s complex systems, including intelligent systems, systems of systems, and cyber-physical systems. The curriculum focuses on methodologies for risk assessment, modeling, and validation in scenarios where exhaustive testing is impractical due to emergent behaviors and unpredictable interactions. Throughout their coursework, students will engage with real-world case studies and tools, preparing them to address industry-relevant challenges in T&E.With a rising demand for professionals skilled in modern test and evaluation methods, this is the only graduate certificate in the U.S. specifically dedicated to this crucial discipline. Whether you are seeking to advance your career or contribute to the future of systems engineering, graduates of this program will be equipped to lead and innovate in the future of test and evaluation.
