GRADUATE CERTIFICATE IN ENGINEERING MANAGEMENT
The graduate certificate in Engineering Management was developed in response to the increasing demand for engineers who can assume management duties. The courses focus on the additional skills required for supervisory positions, including the ability to negotiate, resolve conflicts, conduct process or system analysis, and schedule projects.

The Engineering Management certificate is available completely online and is designed for those who wish to earn a foundation in basic management skills, but are not currently pursuing a master's degree.
