Return To: School of Graduate Engineering and Applied Science: Certificate Programs
The Cyber-Physical Systems graduate certificate is designed to provide graduate students with specific knowledge and skills regarding the design, application, and ethical dimensions of cyber- physical systems (CPS). Cyber-physical systems integrate computation and communication with physical processes. The technical principles that underlie a CPS education span both the physical (physics, digital signal processing, embedded hardware such as sensors and actuators, control and hybrid systems, wireless communication and dynamic systems modeling) and the cyber (networking, embedded systems programming, machine learning, model-based design and formal methods, privacy and security, real-time systems and software engineering). Students will acquire technical depth and integrative transdisciplinary CPS knowledge in such core application areas as smart cities, smart health, robotics, and autonomous systems and hardware for the Internet of Things. Students will learn how multiple layers of cyber-physical systems relate to each other, how they are applied and how they interact. Graduates will be able to integrate cyber and physical design elements and improve system performance and security.
