MAKE BETTER ENGINEERING DECISIONS
Our world runs on increasingly complex systems. Engineers face a critical challenge in designing, managing, and optimizing these systems for the rapidly changing products of tomorrow.
Leveraging industry case studies and the latest thinking from MIT, this four-course online certificate program explores the newest practices in systems engineering, including how models can enhance system engineering functions and how systems engineering tasks can be augmented with quantitative analysis.
Over 13,000 professionals have taken this program and companies around the globe like Ford, the U.S. Navy, Shell, and Whirlpool are embracing this certification as a central part of their MBSE training and transformation.

WHAT LEARNERS ARE SAYING
Over 13,000 professionals have taken this program and are now making better engineering decisions
Better credibility and reliability about your results and predictions
"Architecture and Systems Engineering Professional Certificate has motivated me about the need of system engineering in our daily work life. No matter in which field you are working, Systems Engineering techniques and principles can be easily applied to have better credibility and reliability about your results and predictions.”
Siddharth Kshirsagar
System Performance Engineer, Cummins Inc.
I learned how to carry the weight of complex problems effectively
"If I had to borrow one quote to summarize what I gained from this course, it would be the quote by Lou Holtz: "It's not the load that breaks you down, it's the way you carry it". I learned how to "carry" the weight of complex problems effectively by applying "Systems Thinking". Thank you, MIT for offering this program."
Neena Rajan
Engineering Project Manager, Siemens - Healthcare
This program has helped me develop system level perspective
"This program has helped me develop the system level perspective necessary to decompose complex system architecture problems and solve them in ways that enable rapid prototyping to reach the optimum."
Ron Aditya
Spacecraft GNC Engineer, Lockheed Martin
Immediately applicable to projects
“It was a great program with many tangible working tools that were immediately applicable to projects I had going on during my time in the certificate program.”
Michael UY
Senior Principal Engineer, Northrup Grumman
Broad examples and practical activities
"I really appreciated how broad the examples were and the focus on practical activities and information that was broadly relevant outside of the classic industries that employ systems engineers."
Erin Ronayne Hinson
Automation Engineering Manager, Illumina
