Description
Location(s): Exclusively Online Program Close Return to: Academic Degrees and Programs The Advanced Graduate Certificate in Complex Systems Science and Engineering (CX Certificate) is offered in the exclusively online format through the School of Systems Science and Industrial Engineering. The CX Certificate offers students an opportunity to acquire knowledge and research skills in the emerging field of complex systems science and engineering, which connects several related research areas. Its educational goals are for students to: Become familiar with basic concepts and terms developed and used in complex systems science and engineering. Learn basic literacy of quantitative methods used in complex systems science and engineering (e.g., mathematical modeling, simulation, nonlinear statistics). Acquire advanced knowledge and research skills in some areas of complex systems science and engineering that are relevant to their own research. Develop a broader research interest and intellectual openness/flexibility that go beyond their own areas of expertise.
