COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING PROFESSIONAL CERTIFICATE PROGRAMS General StatementThe College of Engineering recognizes the importance of life-long learning and continuing graduate education to practicing engineers. In light of this, the College of Engineering offers several Graduate Certificate Programs to help working engineers enhance their professional skills. Each department has designated specific groups of three courses within some specific technical areas to form the certificate programs. Temple University Graduate Faculty of the College of Engineeing will perform all instruction. In order to make the Certificate programs available to practicing engineers, classes are scheduled in the evening, during the regular Fall and Spring semesters. Students who complete certificate programs in good standing may apply for admission to the M.S.E. degree program. Admission RequirementsTo be admitted into a Certificate Program, a student must have an engineering or related degree from an accredited institution, with an undergraduate GPA of at least 2.5. The student must complete an application form and submit it along with a statement of professional goals, an official transcript, and at least one letter of recommendation. International students are not admitted to this program. Program RequirementsEach Certificate requires a minimum of 9 semester hours of graduate course work, a GPA in the program of at least 2.5, and no grade in any course below "C." Admission to the Master’s ProgramAdmission to the master’s program usually requires a minimum undergraduate GPA of 3.0. The undergraduate GPA requirement can be relaxed if the applicant completes a Certificate Program with high GPA. For details of admission to a master’s program, please review the general admission requirements for MSE programs. Credits earned in certificate programs may be applied towards the completion of a master’s degree in the College. For credits to be transferred to a master’s program, the certificate program GPA must be at least 3.0 with no grade below "B." University regulations allow transfer of a maximum of 9 semester-hours of coursework from a certificate program to a master’s program Electrical Engineering Certificate Programs Direct inquiries

General StatementThe Department of Mechanical Engineering offers the following Post-Baccalaureate Certificate Programs:
Required CoursesAll course descriptions can be found in this Bulletin under the College of Engineering, Mechanical Engineering Program in the College of Science and Technology. Reliability and Failure Prevention Certificate Failure is costly. The extension of service life and the prevention or control of failure are the primary challenge of design. Practicing engineers must understand the phenomena behind reliability and failure of materials before designing a product. This requires a thorough understanding of all the potential modes of failure and their sensitivities. Probabilistic reliability analysis is the key in this process as are the performance and cost. The Certificate Program in Reliability and Failure Prevention requires completion of the following courses: ENGR 505: Mechanical Behavior of Materials ME 575: Engineering Reliability ME 630: Application of FEM Integration of Manufacturing and Management Certificate The Certificate in Integration of Manufacturing and Management (IMAM) is a joint program offered by the Mechanical Engineering Department and the School of Business and Management of Temple University. This program features seven courses which include three from the Mechanical Engineering Department and four from the School of Business and Management. A Certificate in IMAM is awarded after successful completion of three or more courses, which must include at least one course from engineering and one from management. The engineering courses are: ME 525: Material Processing and Manufacturing ME 620: Advanced Control of Manufacturing Processes ENGR 780: CAD/CAM The courses under the management group offered by the School of Business and Management are: MSOM 405: Operations Management MSOM 507: Total Quality Management MSOM 508: Project Management MSOM 540: Production & Inventory Management Finite Element Methods Professional Certificate Finite element methods have been very powerful and versatile in the analysis and design of various engineering problems. In this program, theory and applications of FEM in various fields, such as biomaterials, dynamics, fluid flow, heat transfer, and structures, will be introduced. Several commercial FEM/CAD/CAM packages will be introduced and used in this program. The certificate requires completion of the following courses: ENGR 601: Engineering Mathematics II ME 630: Applications
of Finite Element ME 780: CAD/CAM Students without a thorough mathematical background may also require an additional math course: ENGR 501: Engineering Mathematics I Civil and Environmental Engineering Certificate Program Direct inquiries
