Earn Your Graduate Structural Engineering Certificate in Hazard Analysis from One of the Top Schools for Engineering.
Hazard analysis is about helping to prepare vital infrastructure for natural events, including earthquakes, wind, and snow. Hazard analysts perform large, complex studies to assess how extreme weather events and natural disasters will affect structures both big and small. They also communicate with and educate the public about these potential risks and how to prepare.
Do you want to work on the frontlines of hazard analysis and risk assessment, saving potentially millions of lives by preparing infrastructure for environmental loads and weather? If so, earning an online graduate structural engineering certificate in hazard analysis from Michigan Technological University is a great first step.
Take Fundamental Structural Engineering Courses.
In this online hazard analysis certificate, you will master the basics of performance-based design. In addition, you will study large deformation effects, post-yield behavior, non-standard geometries, and unusual geometries; as well as analyze loads from wind, snow, and earthquake ground motion.
Our intensive and engaging curriculum prepares you to help others in real-world settings. Each student will take one required course: Probabilistic Analysis and Reliability (CEE 5730). Students will then choose two more courses to master specific skills within the hazard analysis process.
When planning your program, remember to check class availability at the course registration page.

Lay the Foundation For Future Graduate Study.
Our certificate in hazard analysis was created to help aspiring professionals like you build a strong foundation upon which to advance your career.
But you can also continue learning, using this certificate to launch into graduate studies. That is, you can stack this certificate with other structural engineering certificates to build a customizable master's degree. You graduate not only with a master's degree but also three focused credentials.
For instance, the chart below demonstrates how you can build your advanced degree from one required course and three structural engineering certificates: Bridge Analysis and Design, Hazard Analysis, and Building Design. Alternatively, you could combine your hazard analysis certificate with another two certificates; there are four from which you can choose.
This certificate is also available on campus.
