Attend Our Open House: November 19, 2024Join us for an Open House for our Engineering Programs. Open House events allow students to learn about programs in a large group, presentational-style setting. Attendees will also have the opportunity to break out into smaller groups and discuss programs and questions with faculty and current students in their fields. The Open House will be held on Tuesday, November 19, 2024 at 6pm CST. Please RSVP at the link below. We look forward to seeing you there! |
At the Opus College of Engineering, we are world-class engineers who will lead bold, innovative change to serve the world in the Jesuit tradition.
This interdisciplinary engineering certificate responds to the push for innovation, preparing practicing engineers to assess and manage risk, striking a balance among competing objectives. By completing this certificate, you’ll develop the skills and knowledge required to solve complex systems engineering problems in a variety of domains using current tools and approaches.
Systems engineers provide value to communities and society at large by leading interdisciplinary engineering analysis, design and deployment of a system to ensure that it efficiently satisfies stakeholder needs, fulfills its intended operation and has a long and useful operating life.
We recognize the importance of flexibility to those pursuing graduate education, especially to practicing engineers. That’s why we offer you the opportunity to complete our certificates on a full- or part-time basis.
