Certificate in learning engineering

The graduate certificate program in learning engineering fuses knowledge from the education sciences and skills from the design sciences such as human-centered design, usability, and evaluation with systems design to address challenges within educational organizations or systems. The training within this certificate prepares students to work in interdisciplinary teams to solve educational challenges. This certificate program provides lectures, discussions, and hands-on courses to ensure that students have a grasp of learning engineering methods and can apply them within professional settings.

Students in this certificate will be part of the Learning Engineering Research Network, which will allow them to connect with industry professionals and academic researchers within the field of learning engineering.

Example disciplines connecting to the learning engineering field include:
• computer science
• data science and analytics
• design sciences
• educational sciences
• psychological sciences
• systems engineering
