INCOSE Certification

The International Council on Systems Engineering (INCOSE) approved an equivalency for the Professional Master’s in Applied Systems Engineering (PMASE) degree at Georgia Tech. PMASE received the approval after INCOSE determined the program’s curriculum provides graduates the academic equivalency of the INCOSE knowledge exam. With the equivalency, INCOSE recognizes that PMASE graduates gain the adequate level of knowledge to be considered systems engineering (SE) professionals and can bypass the INCOSE knowledge exam.  

INCOSE certification is based on the INCOSE Systems Engineering Handbook, the primary reference book for SE practitioners. Engineers with INCOSE certification have proven their understanding of SE terminology and approaches.

Director of the PMASE program Dimitri Mavris, Ph.D., considers INCOSE certification as a critical step in becoming a subject matter expert in the field.

“INCOSE is the quality standard for systems engineering and its certification provides qualified recognition and a basis to build expertise throughout one’s career,” Mavris said. “The PMASE program provides an excellent framework for our students to develop the systems engineering knowledge and skills needed to achieve the INCOSE certification.”

The FAQs below explain more about INCOSE certification and membership, as well as what this academic equivalency means for PMASE students.
