Program Overview

Industrial and Systems Engineering Certificate (Graduate)

The Certificate Program in Industrial and Systems Engineering at Temple University's College of Engineering is designed for working professionals who want to advance their technical and managerial skills to keep pace with the evolving field of industrial and systems engineering (ISE). This online nine-credit graduate certificate program enhances the ability to make strategic decisions that increase productivity and efficiency across a broad range of today's complex industry environments.

Program Overview

Students in the program will learn to:

• collect, analyze, and interpret data
• develop mathematical solutions for unstructured problems
• make informed engineering decisions
• present information as a professional in the ISE field

The Industrial and Systems Engineering Certificate program prepares students for success by providing a toolbox of complementary analytical tools that include computer modeling, mathematical simulation, operations research, and quality and production management. This certificate is also a great entry point for students considering a master's degree.

Classes & Curriculum

Coursework for the Industrial and Systems Engineering Certificate (Graduate) is a combination of theory and practice, including examples and case studies taken directly from current industries. Team projects and oral presentations prepare students with the vital communication and collaboration skills they need for this interdisciplinary field of engineering. The following courses are taken in seven-week semesters and each earn one-and-a-half credits, which allow working professionals flexibility in their personal and professional lives:

• Advanced Optimization Models in Engineering
• Data Analytics for Engineers
• Engineering Decision Analysis
• Introduction to Linear Optimization
• Multi-Attribute Engineering Decision Analysis
• Probability & Statistics for Industrial & Systems Engineering

Careers

Graduates of this certificate program are ready to become leaders across all sectors of business and industry by improving production and efficiency and optimizing competitiveness and profitability. Industrial and systems engineers are in high demand, and the Bureau of Labor Statistics predicts increasing demand for ISE engineers due to the rapid advance of technology in manufacturing, production, and service operations.

The optimization skills and mathematical approach to technical problems honed by the Industrial and Systems Engineering Graduate Certificate are vital to manufacturing, production, and service industries and are increasingly being used in non-traditional industries such as agriculture and land management, hospitals, public policy, and more.

Tuition & Fees

Tuition rates are set annually by the university and are affected by multiple factors, including program degree level (undergraduate or graduate), course load (full- or part-time), in-state or out-of-state residency, and more.
