Key Summary
Choose from virtual and on-campus events where you can interact with other prospective students and admissions counselors, meet with our graduate program directors, and gain insight into how applicants are reviewed and evaluated.
Engineers with skills in vibration engineering contribute to creating manufacturing production systems, aerospace systems, automotive engineering, medical product development, consumer product development, and a host of industrial equipment and process systems in which vibration must be minimized or controlled.
The Impact of Machine Vibrations
Vibrations generated by machines and equipment can be disruptive and disturbing. Engineers often seek to reduce vibration so they can increase the durability and reliability of a machine, machinery system, or product; eliminate stress on a structure; and/or reduce damage, abnormal stoppage, or catastrophic failure. Targeted vibration prevention is the goal of a vibrations engineer.
What is a Graduate Certificate?
A graduate certificate also called an advanced certificate, is a selection of up to five graduate-level courses in a particular area of study. It can serve as a stand-alone credential that provides expertise in a specific topic that enhances your professional knowledge base, or it can serve as the entry point to a master's degree. Some students complete an advanced certificate and apply for those credits hours later toward a master's degree.
The advanced certificate in vibrations takes you beyond the preparation in vibration engineering that you would typically complete during your undergraduate program of study. In this collection of graduate-level courses, you will learn to use sophisticated software tools, analytical techniques and experimental methods to design, develop, and implement solutions for problems of vibration control and minimization in engineering systems. You will also be exposed to modern technologies used in industry to ensure that you are prepared for today's highly specialized job market. The curriculum answers a need for graduate-level instruction for practicing engineers in a field of importance for the 21st century.
