Graduate Certificate in Control Systems (Hartford)

Print Degree Planner (opens a new window) |

Control systems are widely used in engineering to monitor the values of process variables by measurement so as to make rational decisions about required corrective actions. Analysis and design of control systems requires consideration of sensors, controllers, transmitters, as well as auxiliary control and hardware elements.

Rensselaer offers a Certificate of Advanced Studies in Control Systems designed to provide an understanding of control systems engineering, including the fundamental principles of control systems and their application to real-life engineering problems.

Academic credit earned from these courses can then be applied towards a Master’s degree.

Please contact Professor Farooque Mesiya at mesiya@rh.edu ifyou have any questions about the Control Systems Certificate Program.
