The Graduate Certificate in Computer Systems Engineering is designed for students and professionals seeking knowledge and skills in state-of-the-art parallel hardware architectures, parallel software programming, algorithms, and networking technologies. Students stay current on rapidly advancing technology and learn to problem-solve for future challenges.
Students interested in graduate work should refer to CSU's Graduate and Professional Bulletin.
Learning Objectives
Upon successful completion, students will be able to:
- Think critically about computing systems, including hardware, software, and hardware-software co-design issues.
- Communicate effectively both with technical experts in their field and with experts from related fields who do not have specific background in computer systems.
- Assimilate advanced knowledge from disciplines of science and engineering to broaden their expertise in computer systems.
