In addition, courses in this program can be appliedto a Professional Masters Degree in Applied SystemsEngineering (PMASE) from Georgia Institute of Technology.This degree, from one of the top five engineering schoolsin the U.S., is offered primarily online.

Who Should EnrollThis program benefits program managers, project managers,and those in technical and non-technical disciplines whoare involved in any aspect of the development and deploy-ment of products or services. This includes development,design, operations, manufacturing, testing, implementa-tion, procurement, cost, scheduling, training, and support.Those who are involved with project or program manage-ment or enterprise-level process improvement will alsobenefit from this program.

Program Benefits

Gain critical skills and techniques to optimize productdevelopment and service deployments

Acquire useful and practical skills to improve yourorganizations operational efficiency

Reduce project and program risks while keeping onschedule and under budget

Analyze customer needs and develop clear requiremethat translate into optimal products and services

Develop innovative approaches for systems designand integration

Utilize simulation-based engineering to optimizedevelopment and deployment efforts

Define verification and validation programs tailored toyour company and your customers risk threshold

Identify, prioritize, and select relevant solutions to solvcomplex engineering problems and processes

Apply tools, resources, organizational systems, anddecision making processes to successfully manage thdevelopment and delivery of products and services

Prepare for CSEP industry certification

Certificate RequirementsA certificate is awarded upon completion of 15 creditunits: 4 required courses (2.5 units each) and 5 units ofelective courses, with a grade point average of B orbetter in each course.
