Current Certificates
This certificate is designed for individuals currently in or pursuing technical leadership positions involving financial decision making, the management of technical personnel and projects, as well as problem solving and continuous improvement in production systems. This certificate is comprised of the following three courses:
- ENM 530 Engineering Economy

Systems engineering is an interdisciplinary approach to design and managing the lifecycle of complex systems. The management of such systems must ensure the integration of all aspects of the system, which requires knowledge of project management and the ability to make decisions under uncertainty. In addition, managers require a structured approach for defining customer needs and project functionality, documenting requirements, and then proceeding with design synthesis and system validation while considering the system as a whole. The certificate is comprised of the following three courses:
- ENM 505 Management and Engineering Systems
- ENM 534 Decision Analysis
- ENM 539 Project Management
