Systems Engineering Certificate

Certificate Overview

Our certificate program provides an introduction to systems engineering concepts and practices with a series of four courses (12 credits) that include key core competencies and skills needed to practice as a systems engineer. The four courses cover risk analysis, project management, support systems, and engineering processes.

This certificate prepares engineers or other professionals in aerospace technology, energy, biosciences, or environmental resources to lead systems engineering development from concept creation to production. Admission to Colorado State is not required to complete the Systems Engineering certificate.

This certificate is a companion to the Systems Engineering Master's Degree and all four courses can be applied toward that degree. Please note that in order for all of the courses in this certificate to apply toward the degree, you must be admitted to CSU before taking the fourth course.

Requirements

Candidates for the certificate program should have completed a Bachelor of Science in an engineering, science, or natural resources discipline. Undergraduate students in good academic standing are permitted to enroll, but must consult their academic advisor prior to registering.

Please note that prior coursework can not be applied toward this certificate.
