In a customized advanced engineering program, your organization and Caltech CTME tailor the curricula and participant experience to fit your specific needs. This flexibility extends to integrating with your frameworks, products, and contexts.

Our systems thinking and engineering focus is on fundamental applications of proven methods that will help you take your customer’s requirements and operational needs and turn them into effective solutions that meet goals for cost, schedule, and performance.

Our educators bring with them extensive systems engineering experience in the aerospace, defense, and medical products industry and government agencies. They deliver practical examples and lessons learned in an informal, energetic learning environment. Through case studies, in-class exercises, and hands-on labs, you and your teams will come away with everything you need to go from contemplation to implementation.
