Gain a Strong Foundation in Dynamic Systems with Modeling and Simulation
Michigan Tech's graduate on-campus and online certificate in Dynamic Systems develops a foundation of analytical mechanics and multiphysics modeling that allows you to explore applications suited to your interests in mechanical engineering.
Dynamic systems explain how various intrinsic and extrinsic elements in complex systems —living and nonliving—interrelate to drive change in the system over time. The discipline is used to study vehicle behavior, electromechanics, and human locomotion. While dynamic systems are often explained through mathematical formulation, the emergence of model-based data gathering in machine learning requires engineers to have a foundation in simulation development, verification, and validation in addition to mathematical modeling.
Who is this Certificate For?
This certificate is for qualified professionals who want to enhance their skill set and can be a foundation to continue toward a graduate degree. It is also valuable for degree-seeking students looking to develop a concentration that gives them an edge in their career path.
