Evaluate Structural Behavior Under Challenging Loading and Design Conditions.
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 Online Advanced Analysis Graduate Certificate will help you develop skills for creatively and holistically examining and designing structures for safety, durability, aesthetics, efficiency, and sustainability.
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.
Who is This Certificate For?
This certificate is intended for civil, structural, and related engineering professionals who want to deepen their technical understanding of structural behavior. It may be especially useful to those analyzing complex structures, dynamic loads, nonlinear behavior, or advanced computational models.
What You'll Study
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 you'll 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.
You can also stack this certificate with two other structural engineering certificates to build a customizable master's degree in civil engineering, earning three specialized credentials along the way.
The chart below illustrates one possible pathway, combining Advanced Analysis, Building Design, and Timber Design certificates to focus on advanced timber structures and sustainable construction. Other certificate combinations allow you to tailor your degree to your professional interests.
This certificate is also available on campus.
