Flexibility: Pursue Professional Development

Enhance your current degree by earning a certificate related to electrical or computer engineering from the comfort of your office or home, viewing lectures at your convenience. Off-campus students enroll in the same classes as on-campus students. Both follow the same syllabus and schedule and, with few exceptions, complete the same course work.

Certificate in Electric Power Engineering

This is a 13 credit electric power engineering program that certifies that a student has taken undergraduate courses covering the fundamentals of electric power systems.

All courses are offered online except for a one credit lab. The lab is offered once a year to online students as an intensive one week course. It is assumed that students attempting the certificate have a basic understanding of calculus and differential equations. For assistance in determining the initial class to take, please contact Dr. Bruce Mork or Dr. Leonard Bohmann.

Required Courses (7 Credits)

Electives (choose 6 credits or more)

Certificate in Advanced Electric Power Engineering

This is a 15 credit advanced electric power engineering program that certifies that a student has taken graduate courses covering advanced aspects of electric power systems. It is expected that students beginning this certificate have a working understanding of electric power system analysis equivalent to that gained in EE4221. Please check the undergraduate course descriptions of EE4221 for details. Students must earn a grade of B or higher in each of the courses counting toward the certificate. A minimum of 10 credits must be earned from Michigan Tech. For assistance in determining the initial class to take, please contact Dr. Bruce Mork or Dr. Leonard Bohmann. Also see Degree Schedules for Graduate Certificates.

Required Courses (3 credits)

Elective Courses (12 credits, no more than 3 credits below 5000)

Certificate in Automotive Systems and Controls

This is a 15 credit program that certifies that a student has taken graduate courses covering topics in controls, systems engineering, and systems integration. All courses are offered on-line. Students taking this certificate must have a degree in electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, or a closely related field.

Certificate in Safety and Security of Autonomous Cyber-Physical Systems

Students completing this certificate will demonstrate competencies in the hierarchical design, control, and integration of technologies into cyber-physical components and systems including modern networked and autonomous mobile systems for land, air, and water. Students taking this certificate must have a degree in electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, or a closely related field.
