Advanced Certificate in Vibrations Engineering

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.
