The Graduate Certificate in AI in Manufacturing Engineering provides students with advanced skills at the intersection of artificial intelligence (AI) and manufacturing systems. The certificate emphasizes the application of AI and digital methods to computer integrated manufacturing, process monitoring, robotics, and design. Students will develop competencies in digital transformation, data-driven decision-making, and intelligent systems integration for manufacturing engineering.
Program Learning Outcomes:
1. Demonstrate fundamental proficiency in manufacturing engineering techniques and AI-enabled manufacturing systems, including computer integrated manufacturing and AI in manufacturing.
2. Apply analytical, computational, and data-driven tools to evaluate manufacturing processes and support engineering decision-making, with emphasis on artificial intelligence and machine learning methods.
3. Communicate AI-enabled manufacturing solutions effectively through written reports and oral presentations, demonstrating the ability to translate technical analysis into actionable manufacturing insights.
Admissions Requirements:
Admissions requirements follow standard WPI graduate certificate admission policies. Applicants are expected to hold a bachelor’s degree or the equivalent of a four-year U.S. bachelor’s degree in engineering, science, or a closely related field. Relevant professional experience may be considered.
Degree/Certificate/Program Requirements:
The Graduate Certificate in AI in Manufacturing Engineering requires successful completion of four graduate-level courses totaling a minimum of 9 credits. To receive the certificate, one must have a GPA of 3.0 or higher in the program.
