CECD together with the Office of Advanced Engineering Education at the University of Maryland will launch a four-course Graduate Certificate Program in Energetic Concepts in the Fall 2009 semester. For those working in the field of energetics, earning an Energetics Concepts Graduate Certificate in Engineering is an affordable way to retool and keep current with the latest technological developments. For others, it is a way to develop a new area of expertise so as to further their career.

Students enrolled in the Graduate Certificate in Engineering program sometimes become so enthused with advanced education that they wish to continue for a Professional Master of Engineering in Energetic Concepts degree. The 12 credits used for the Graduate Certificate in Engineering can be applied toward the 30 credits required for the Master Engineering Degree provided the grades meet the admission requirements.

The certificate program is open to qualified applicants holding a regionally accredited baccalaureate degree in engineering or a related field. Interested applicants need to submit a University of Maryland Graduate School admission application with a fee and a copy of their college transcripts. Applicants with an undergraduate GPA of less than 3.0 may be admitted on a provisional basis. Applicants with foreign credentials need to meet additional requirements.

This is an online program. To earn the certificate, students will need to successfully complete four of the following six online core courses offered by the Office of Advanced Engineering Education:
