Space Systems Engineering Graduate Certificate


Program Director
Wiley Larson

This certificate integrates crucial activities spanning the entire life cycle.  Information and capabilities are learned by participants in hands-on space system and mission design assignments.  Courses are focused on: operations, concept development, space system architecture, verification and validation, as well as key system engineering processes and tools.  This certificate provides the backbone for the development of space systems engineers and is relevant for professionals who wish to compliment their existing knowledge and skills base to include state of the art spacecraft and mission analysis design combined with a holistic systems engineering and architecture perspective.

Students enrolled in the Space Systems Engineering certificate can select one of two course electives: SYS633** Mission and Systems Design Verification and Validation or SYS635 Human Spaceflight.
