Engineering Education (Certificate)
The new online graduate certificate is now available!
The Colleges of Engineering and Education jointly offer a Graduate Certificate Program (GCP) in Engineering Education. The program is intended for both working professionals, such as community college educators and working engineers who have teaching engineering topics as a part of their job responsibilities, and graduate students enrolled at NC State. Individuals who enroll in the program must have backgrounds in at least one field of engineering, applied mathematics, and/or engineering physics , and would select the program to provide distinction in their academic records that may improve career prospects. Students who wish to pursue a traditional engineering academic career may also choose to take the certificate to enhance their employability at a wider range of institutions and to prepare themselves for educating 21st century engineers.
We enroll both on-campus, and distance education students through Engineering Online (EOL) (including practicing professionals). The GCP will be attractive to individuals who work (or wish to work) in engineering education in academia or industry around the country. This includes engineering graduates who wish to become a tenure track professor and wish to bolster their teaching skills and engineering professionals who want to make a career transition from industry into academia. The course offerings have been structured such that students may tailor it to their individual goals. Each student will choose a minimum of four courses.
