Certificates Program

Our courses and certificates provide a rigorous project-based student-centered interdisciplinary education and training in areas in high demand. Through these projects students develop valuable skills in research, design, project-management, and written and oral communication. The certificates provide an attractive alternative to more lengthy, costly, and generally non-interdisciplinary traditional programs.

The certificates are carefully designed based on extensive experience in higher education and industry, and efficiently use the synergies between the traditional engineering and science disciplines.

All courses and certificates are designed with the following highly valuable features:

  •    Emphasis on design and mathematical modeling
  •    Integration of research
  •    Application driven theory
  •    Hands-on lab simulations and physical experiments using state-of-the-art tools and software
  •    Use of an interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary systems approach
  •    Integration of project management
  •    Intensive formal reports and presentations

All certficates are centered around a capstone project performed in the work site to solve a work related problem.

Since the certificates are delivered online, no time out of work is required.

Benefits of Certificates to Industry and Employees


Mechatronics and Electromechanical Engineering

 

Mechatronics is the synergistic combination of electrical, control, and mechanical engineering with computer science. Industry will derive numerous benefits from having competent and multidisciplinary mechatronics and electromechanical engineers, including the following:

    • It takes one engineer instead of two to handle mechatronics/electromechanical projects and problems. 
    • It results in significant time and cost savings in training.
    • Certificates effectively address the needs of industry through project-based education related to in-house projects.
    • Being Broadens engineers’ understanding of the multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary aspect of projects.
    • Engineers become more effective designers and problem solvers, managers and leaders, and better.
    • Students gain life-long in-demand skills that make them more marketable with opportunities for professional growth and advancement.

Mathematical Modeling

Mathematical modeling involves crucial skills that are required in effective engineering problem solving, design and research, science, and finance. Research has shown that typical graduates have inadequate skills in mathematical modeling. The graduate certificate in mathematical modeling provides effective project-based comprehensive skills in mathematical modeling of multidisciplinary systems.

 

Benefits of Certificates to Universities and Colleges

 In a recent peer-reviewed paper, we have shown that teaching science and engineering online is a major challenge because of the lack and inadequacy of the tools, content, and hands-on labs experiments that are required for online science and engineering classes. This prevents many colleges and universities from offering  online science and engineering programs.

American Polytechnic Institute can provide quality cost-effective solutions through partnerships with colleges and universities by developing and teaching customized science and engineering courses online and in hybrid form.

Our certificates and courses can cost-effectively extend the number and variety of courses offered at universities and colleges.  They can be taken in addition to existing courses to broaden students' skills and training or as a separate program to offer students new areas of specialization.  

Interested companies are invited to contact us and discuss their needs.
