Reliability Engineering (online) (Z042)

Graduate Certificate Program
College: Engineering

Abstract

The Graduate Certificate in Engineering program is designed to assist engineers and technical professionals in the development of their careers and to provide the expertise needed in the rapidly changing business, government, and industrial environments.

Our reliability engineering degree program provides qualified engineers with the tools they will need to better understand the factors that cause components and systems to fail. This interdisciplinary option is offered by the Department of Mechanical Engineering. Students pursuing a reliability engineering masters degree will study topics such as the mechanisms and physics of failure, methods for reliability, maintainability engineering, life cycle costing, and equipment sparing policies. 

Financial Assistance
