System of Systems Certificate

System of systems refers to a collection of systems that pool their capabilities to create a new, more complex system with more functionality and performance than the sum of the constituent systems. This certificate program provides systems engineering practitioners and others with the frameworks, perspectives, methods and tools needed to adapt proven systems engineering processes to address the challenging nature of networked systems and systems of systems.
