Brief Overview
The Robotics Engineering graduate certificate is intended to provide a technical foundation and supplemental credential for practicing engineers. The objective of the program to provide the civilian and active-duty workforce with a flexible, self-paced learning experience that includes the essential concepts and skills necessary to understand, design, and operate robotic systems. Each course is comprised of both instruction and hands-on activities to support student learning.
This certificate program consists of a four graduate course sequence in computation and engineering topics fundamental to robotics in defense-related contexts.
