Certificate Programs
Success is when preparation meets opportunity. Clemson University offers a range of certificates that help to bridge the gap between foundational engineering knowledge and professional skills sought by many industries. These areas include production, renewable energy, health science, and management.
Industrial Engineering students at Clemson have several certificate options available throughout the university. The key for students is to know how those certificates will prepare them after graduation for their careers. This section is designed to aid students in better understanding their options.
Why are certificates ideal for industrial engineers?
Our background applies to any industry wanting to make products or services better, faster, cheaper, safer, or smarter. Virtually all industries hold these goals as top priorities, and certificate programs can help prepare Industrial Engineers for a future career in their chosen field. Not only do companies tend to look for key skills in student resumes, but being able to understand the basic vocabulary of your specialty field during an interview setting can set you apart from other candidates.
Because the industrial engineering mindset is so broadly applicable, students may transition into non-traditional fields throughout their careers. Certificates help students develop some of their interests and expose them to a broader range of professional opportunities than they might have imagined.

Systems Engineering Certificate (IE - Graduate)
Systems engineers manage large and/or complex projects comprised of multiple technical disciplines. They see the big picture and coordinate all aspects of a project throughout its life cycle from inception to development to commissioning and completion. The Systems Engineering Certificate provides practicing engineers and scientists with an educational program covering the fundamentals of systems engineering. On completing the graduate-level courses in the certificate, participants have a basic understanding of systems engineering and a skillset to manage design projects from inception through project completion to meet stakeholder needs. Applicants should hold an undergraduate degree either in an engineering discipline or computer science.
Students must complete 12 credit hours of approved coursework, each with a grade of C or better and a GPA of 3.0 or higher.
