Post-Baccalaureate Certificate in Cyber-Physical Systems
About This Program
Post-Baccalaureate Certificate in Cyber-Physical Systems provides graduate students with a comprehensive knowledge of cyber-physical systems that feature a tight integration of computation and physical components. Topics covered include model-based and data-driven solutions for CPS, co-design techniques that address a variety of computation, networking, control, and physical constraints in real systems, and related software, hardware, and middle issues. This program aims at the dual goal of providing the local aviation and defense industries with a workforce knowledgeable of cyber physical systems and offering career advancement opportunities for their employees.
Competencies
- Upon completion, students will be able to model, analyze, and control cyber-physical systems.
- Upon completion, students will be able to apply data-driven analytical tools and intelligent control systems to manage cyber-physical systems.
- Upon completion, students will be able to understand the relationships between cyber-physical systems, the internet of things, intelligent transportation systems, and robot networking.
