Optimize Materials Development Through Data Science Methods
Next start date:
September 24, 2025
Engineered materials are crucial to advancing technology in countless fields — air and space travel, renewable energy, transportation, computing and more. The future of research and development in these fields requires professionals who understand the fundamentals of materials science and can apply data science methods to accelerate the materials development process and meet the needs of modern technology.
In this graduate certificate program, you’ll learn to use data science methods and machine learning models to manage, interpret and analyze data in materials science. You’ll also get hands-on training with computational tools to solve materials-related challenges.
Engineering professionals who want to use data science methods to optimize the materials development process.
By completing this graduate certificate program, you can earn up to 15 graduate credits toward degree requirements should you later be accepted into the Master of Science in Materials Science & Engineering degree program.
