Graduate Certificate in Systems Engineering

The College of Engineering at Wayne State University offers a 12-credit Systems Engineering graduate certificate program, which is designed for technical professionals with work experience and an engineering degree. The certificate can be completed on-campus or online and can serve as a bridge to the M.S. degree in Engineering Management or Industrial Engineering.

Systems Engineering is an interdisciplinary approach and means to enable the realization of successful systems. It focuses on defining customer needs and required functionality early in the development cycle, documenting requirements, then proceeding with design synthesis and system validation while considering the complete problem:

• Operations
• Cost & Schedule
• Performance
• Training & Support
• Test
• Manufacturing
• Disposal

 
Systems Engineering integrates all the disciplines and specialty groups into a team effort forming a structured development process that proceeds from concept to production to operation. Systems Engineering considers both the business and the technical needs of all customers with the goal of providing a quality product that meets the user needs.
