- Description
- The Systems Engineering certificate prepares students to quantitatively and qualitatively model, evaluate, and improve systems and processes within any organization. The certificate develops a systems framework that is a fusion of a management/decision sciences framework from which to evaluate systems and processes. Today’s complex organizations – in every sector of the economy – struggle with how they do what they do and need systems engineers to analyze and lead change in rapidly evolving environments. Rensselaer’s program prepares decision makers who are ready to Change the World. Students who complete the program are able to establish system/process desired outcome requirements, map existing state, deploy evaluative tools to determine where improvements can be made to move from existing state to desired state, and to then plan and implement change processes to arrive at optimal performance.
