Space Systems Engineering Graduate Certificate


Program Director
Wiley Larson

In today’s space-related enterprises, change is the only constant. From market and technological changes to policy and budgetary uncertainty, the space industry has been faced with increasing challenges that transcend technical boundaries. To fully utilize emerging opportunities and explore new ones within a modern space-centric enterprise, it is crucial to have both the technical knowledge necessary to design cutting edge space missions and associated products, as well as, the systems knowledge that is required to operate in an increasingly complex business and policy environment. 

The Stevens SSE Graduate Certificate and the Master’s Degree in Space Systems allows professionals working in government and private space-related enterprises to combine a robust technical education in space systems design and development, key space system engineering processes and tools with a holistic understanding of systems engineering principles. This combination provides them with a unique advantage that is hard to come by anywhere else.

Partnering with TSTI, the leading educational institute for technical mission analysis and design, the Stevens Institute of Technology’s School of Systems and Enterprises has created a unique program geared towards professionals currently working in the space industry or those interested in careers in space systems. This unique program by one of the foremost technological institutes in the United States will provide experienced professionals with the edge needed to excel in this increasingly complex and competitive industry.

The course discussion questions encouraged everyone to talk. I am surprised at the amount of similarities between everyone’s respective fields."
