Electro-Mechanical Systems Certificate

The Electro-Mechanical Systems Certificate develops a core framework for engineers concerned with the design, implementation, control and operation of Electro-Mechanical systems. Engineering aspects of such systems may include modeling, simulation, instrumentation, compensation and control. A blend of required and elective courses from the electrical and mechanical engineering disciplines provides a flexible framework for participants to design a curriculum that targets their particular needs and interests.

Concentration Requirements

The Electro-Mechanical Systems Certificate requires a total of five courses as follows: (1) ECE 8320 or ME 8203; (2) at least one course from Electrical and Computer engineering; (3) at least one course from Mechanical Engineering. Other restrictions are mentioned below. 

Required Courses: (Choose one from the following list)

  • ECE 8320 - Control Systems Engineering or ME 8203 - Systems Dynamics Control

Elective Courses: (Choose four courses from the following list)

* Only one of these courses may be counted toward the Electro-Mechanical Systems Certificate.
