Overview

Digital Engineering in Aerospace and Defense

Be sure to review program requirements for this certificate

The Digital Engineering in Aerospace and Defense Certificate is a four-course, 100% online certificate co-developed by Georgia Tech and Siemens. The professional certificate helps prepare the next generation of engineers, technical leaders, and transformation professionals responsible for developing, integrating, operating, and sustaining complex aerospace and defense systems. Unlike many programs that focus on a single technology or methodology, this certificate helps learners understand how data, models, tools, processes, and organizational responsibilities must work together. Participants examine both the potential benefits and the practical challenges of establishing traceable, authoritative, and usable engineering information across disciplines, lifecycle stages, organizations, and technical environments.

Why Choose a Certificate?

Why Choose a Certificate?

Professional Certificates are ideal for developing new skills and building deep expertise in a specialized area to update your professional profile, advance your career, or broaden your knowledge base.

Certificates are an “anytime” credential
Start anytime - after graduation or later in your career - and gain deeper know-how in a specific area without the commitment to a degree.

Certificates demonstrate commitment
The dedication of time to earn a certificate demonstrates that you are committed to achieving a higher standard of professional knowledge in your industry.

Certificates provide immediate “ROE”
Georgia Tech learners master real-world skills and apply them to their career the day after completion.

Certificates stand out on your resume
A Georgia Tech credential carries the professional weight to give you a competitive edge.
