Students benefit from the expertise of UW Engineering faculty, who are leaders in their fields, and from the diverse backgrounds of classmates. The degrees and certificates in engineering are developed in partnership with regional industry leaders to give you access to important contacts and expertise.
Stackable Graduate Certificates | Industrial & Systems Engineering
This certificate program will allow the students to manage all the moving parts of a large technical project and ensure satisfaction with the established project requirements and objectives. The program will also offer guidance on financial planning, marketing strategies and conflict resolution, which other engineering certificate programs typically do not cover. By completing this certificate, students will gain the experience to assume new engineering and technical leadership roles or enhance their leadership skills significantly.

Stackable Graduate Certificates | Industrial & Systems Engineering
This certificate program will provide the technical expertise and problem-solving capabilities to develop systems engineering skills and knowledge. Those with this certificate will be able to apply lifecycle modeling and analysis skills to the development of complex and agile technical systems. In other words, the certificate will provide the students an in-depth knowledge in system requirements development and analysis, functional modeling, and architectural development for any cyber-physical environment and its socio-technical interface. They will also gain expertise in systems engineering-driven planning that include project management, risk assessment, and financial modeling, which are typically not covered in other engineering certificate programs. Therefore, the students will acquire the credentials to help them meet the technical challenges and have the leadership skills for project requirements, budget, and operations.

Professional Master's degrees | Civil & Environmental Engineering
Courses provide a solid background and skill set in intelligent transportation systems, ride-source sharing, transit system planning, transportation data analytics, travel demand forecasting, traffic systems operations, freight transportation, human factors and analytical methods in transportation. Students also obtain hands-on experience in particular areas of interest, including traffic simulations, smart transportation system control and traveler information systems. Graduate students work closely with faculty and interact with leaders in the local professional community, many of whom are UW graduates, through special courses taught by practitioners, field trips, seminars and professional society meetings.
This program is in-person at the UW Seattle campus with an Autumn-only start each year.

Stackable Graduate Certificates | Human Centered Design & Engineering
In this five-course certificate program, students explore how usability studies and interaction design can influence web design and product development and examine the latest innovations in the field. UCD Certificate students study the latest theories and practices to keep user needs at the forefront of each stage of the design process. Students learn through hands-on project learning experiences and a culminating experience. They will synthesize the knowledge they have gained through their coursework and connect it to current issues.
