Graduate Certificate in Digital Engineering

University of Massachusetts - Lowell

This Digital Engineering Certificate addresses the needs articulated by companies and federal agencies for upskilling their workforce in digital modeling of their practices, processes and products. The certificate aims to build the expertise for applying modeling and simulation using authoritative sources of data and models across the lifecycle of a product or system of interest. Model based systems engineering concepts are integrated across the courses in the certificate. Beginning with an introductory course on various types of engineering models of systems and computational methods, the certificate helps build skills on representing the design, acquisition and sustainment of systems using the SysML tool. Students will acquire deeper knowledge of physical and networked models and their performance characteristics through a cyber-physical systems framework. The topics of data-driven computational modeling, decision-making and risk-management will address the benefits, trade-off and challenges associated with digital models.
