Earn Your Structural Engineering Certificate in Advanced Analysis from One of the Top-Ranked Engineering Schools.
Through their careful examination of complex structures, both large and small, structural engineers with a focus on advanced analysis ensure the safety of millions of individuals across the globe. Society relies on them to determine how buildings and infrastructure respond to effects from dead, living, and environmental loads.
Michigan Tech's advanced analysis certificate will help you develop skills for creatively and holistically examining and designing structures for safety, durability, aesthetics, efficiency, and sustainability.
Through online classes and integrated experiential learning opportunities, you’ll graduate from MTU with the experience and expertise to excel as an advanced structural engineering specialist. You'll be able to work in government, large engineering firms, or small organizations.
Take Fundamental Advanced Analysis Courses.
As a student in our advanced structural analysis graduate certificate program, you will take courses that build the foundational skills and knowledge to succeed in advanced structural engineering.
Learn how advanced analysis in steel frame design ensures that infrastructure and buildings can handle intense environmental loads. Explore the dynamic response of single- and multi-degree structures using exact analytical and numerical methods.
Every student in the advanced structural analysis program will take the same foundational course: Matrix Structural Analysis (CEE 4201). Then each student can choose two of three related courses to complete their certificate.
When planning your program, always check class availability at the course registration page.
Lay the Foundation For Future Graduate Study.
Our advanced analysis certificate was created to help aspiring professionals like you build on your undergraduate degree while adding structural engineering skills.
But you can also continue learning, using this certificate to launch into graduate studies. That is, you can stack this certificate with other structural engineering ones to build a customizable master's degree. You graduate not only with a master's degree but also with three focused credentials.
For instance, the chart below demonstrates how you can build your advanced degree from one required course and three structural engineering certificates: Advanced Analysis, Building Design, and Timber Design. This combination of certificates would be ideal if you wanted to focus on analyzing, designing, and building advanced timber structures. Mass timber construction, in fact, has recently grown in popularity as people have become more interested in sustainable buildings with lower carbon footprints.
Alternatively, you could combine your advanced analysis certificate with another two certificates; there are four from which you can choose.
This certificate is also available on campus.
