Controls and Automation, Certificate

The Certificate in Controls and Automation will be typically pursued by undergraduates majoring in Mechanical Engineering or Electrical Engineering and by industry professionals with the appropriate background in these disciplines. The objectives are to expose students and industry professionals to the breadth of knowledge required by the modern practice of control and automation and enhance the skillset and capabilities within their discipline-specific field which will supplement the BSEE and BSME degrees. With this in mind, the certificate includes not only courses in controls addressing underlying theory, but a hands-on approach in design and programming based on applications. Additional background offered includes electronics and circuits, instrumentation, data acquisition, and signal analysis with applications.

Required Courses:

*Must include at least then (10) credit hours outside of student’s major.
