Systems Engineering Certificates
Advance your systems engineering expertise by studying 100% online for a graduate certificate. You can earn your certification in a shorter amount of time than it would take to complete a traditional degree, or stack certificate during your Master's of Science in Systems Engineering program. We offer the Model-Based Systems Engineering Certificate and the Systems Engineering and Sustainable Engineering Postbaccalaureate Certificate.
Systems Engineering and Sustainable Engineering Postbaccalaureate Certificate
The Industry-based Post-Bachelor’s Certificate in Systems Engineering and Sustainable Engineering is a launching point for gainful employment in the aerospace/manufacturing workplace, professional certification within the International Council of Systems Engineering (INCOSE), and continuing education toward a Master of Science in Systems Engineering.
In addition, we also offer a strategic education course, SE 6010: Foundations of Systems Engineering, that can be taken independently or as part of Weber’s graduate certificate or master’s degree. The graduate certificate fulfills 12 credits toward an MSSE degree.
What You Will Learn:
- Foundations of Systems Engineering and the opportunity to become INCOSE SEP Certified
- Writing and managing requirements with the opportunity to become IREB certified
- Introduction to Model Based Systems Engineering and SySML, preparing you to become OMG OCSMP certified
- Choice of electives
Course Requirements:
- SE 6010 - Foundation of Systems Engineering Credits: (3)
- SE 6370 - Requirement Engineering Credits: (3)

The WSU Systems Program currently utilizes SysML v1.7, which continues to serve as the foundation for student modeling and coursework. In July 2025, the Object Management Group formally approved SysML v2.0, marking a significant update in modeling language structure and capability. The program will begin a structured adoption process in alignment with industry usage and standards to ensure students are prepared for the evolving digital engineering and MBSE ecosystem.
Course Requirements:
10 credits:
- SE 6380 – MBSE and SysML (3)
- SE 6385 – Architecting Proposal – (1)
- SE 6390 – MBSE II – (3)
- SE 6400 – MBSE III – (3)
MBSE Tools Learned and Utilized
Students will gain hands-on experience with industry-standard Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) platforms used across many domains. The certificate emphasizes tool-enabled and digital engineering practices to support interdisciplinary collaboration, traceability, and communication.
You will work with:
- Dassault Systèmes Magic System of Systems Architecture, the industry standard SysML modeling environment
- Toolkits and Plugins for extending tool capabilities and automating repetitive modeling tasks
- Simulation and analysis extensions for verifying behavior, structure, and system constraints
- Architecture frameworks and governance that support compliance with industry standards
