The Graduate Certificate in Airworthiness Engineering provides study in airworthiness engineering, including design, development, production, operation, and maintenance of crewed and uncrewed air systems.

The certificate consists of four advanced engineering courses that address airworthiness principles at the graduate level. The program is intended for students in the public and private sectors and is offered in a format that accommodates varied professional schedules and backgrounds.

Note: Certificate programs are not eligible for Title IV Federal Financial Aid unless taken as part of a degree program.

Program-Level Student Learning Outcomes

Students will:

  • Effectively communicate technical and procedural information in written and oral forms to audiences in the aviation and aerospace disciplines.
  • Describe the application of national and international civil and military regulatory frameworks to contemporary issues in air system certification.
