The Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering offers a variety of graduate certificates. Students who have been admitted to a UF degree-seeking graduate program (on-campus or EDGE), as well as non-degree-seeking students who have been given permission to enroll in ISE courses, are eligible to earn these certificates.
For assistance with registration or questions regarding these certificate programs, please contact Jordan Sharpshair, ISE Graduate Advising Office.
Systems Engineering Certificate
The Systems Engineering Graduate Certificate trains students in how to create, evaluate, communicate, analyze, and manage system designs. It primarily aims at addressing industry needs for expertise in core methodological and application areas of Systems Engineering, including mathematical modeling and analysis of problems and design and management of systems.
Students must earn a grade of “B” or higher in the following 3 courses (9 credits) to earn this certificate:
ESI6552 Systems Architecture
System architecture is an abstract description of the entities of a system and the relationship between those entities. This course will acquaint students with concepts of systems architecture and the application of related methods to real-world systems. It provides foundations for developing and evaluating architectures for systems of systems, as well as process for generating functional, physical, and operational architecture from a top-level operations concept. This is a 3 credit hours project course.
Prerequisite: calculus, linear algebra, basics of statistics.
ESI6553 Systems Design
A broad introduction to systems engineering and the structured approaches needed to design complex systems. Emphasizes formulation of systems problems and approaches to their solution. Introduces basic mathematical techniques for dealing with systems design.
Prerequisite: calculus, linear algebra, basics of statistics.
ESI6555 Systems Management
Introduction to the concepts of systems and the role of systems engineering in their development. Basic framework for planning and assessing system development, and how systems analysis methods and techniques are integrated into systems engineering processes.
Prerequisite: calculus, linear algebra, basics of statistics.
