This graduate certificate program is designed to enhance and build on the theoretical knowledge gained from studies in mechanical engineering and provides students with training in finite elements analysis, geometric tolerancing and computer aided design (CAD) with a focus on fast, inexpensive and quality design. Topics related to metrology, industrial communication, quality systems and design guidelines will be reviewed. An applied capstone project will provide students with the opportunity to design, implement and manage real world solutions using skills in industrial communications, supervision, project management and documentation.
