Distance Learning Certificate Program

235: Combat Systems Science and Engineering Certificate

The Combat Systems Science and Engineering Certificate addresses the technologies and theoretical foundations of current and future combat systems. The courses available in the certificate cover fundamental physical principles governing combat systems and their integration, ranging from sensor technologies, weapons and their effects, modern missile technologies, and advanced weapon systems.

274: Anti-Submarine Warfare Certificate

The ASW Certificate consists of a sequence of four highly technical courses designed to provide our civilian and active-duty workforce with a learning experience which extends their general undergraduate education to include the essential concepts, equations, and skill sets needed to understand, design, and use ASW systems. The web-based courses are paced week-to-week by the instructors, but students have the flexibility to do coursework at times of their choosing during each week.

The program starts in the Spring Quarter (end of March/early April) and ends the following year in the Spring Quarter (early to mid-June). It is offered in two half-year parts with a one quarter break between in the Fall Quarter.

124: Fundamentals of Engineering Acoustics Certificate

The Fundamentals of Engineering Acoustics curriculum is available to resident and Distance Learning students. It can be combined with SONAR System Applications and Underwater Acoustics academic certificate programs for partial fulfillment of requirements for Master of Science in Engineering Acoustics or Master of Engineering Acoustics degrees by Distance Learning students. Students typically take one course per quarter within a period of 4 quarters (12 months). The Distance Learning classes are usually timed to coincide with resident offerings. The course of studies is designed to improve the student's performance in operational, maintenance, research, engineering, and acquisition positions by providing them with a firm background in the fundamentals of physical acoustics and sonar engineering with emphasis on naval applications.

125: Underwater Acoustics Certificate

The Underwater Acoustics curriculum is available to resident and Distance Learning students. It can be combined with Fundamentals of Engineering Acoustics and SONAR System Applications academic certificate programs for partial fulfillment of requirements for Master of Science in Engineering Acoustics or Master of Engineering Acoustics degrees by Distance Learning students. Students typically take one course per quarter within a four-quarter period (12 months). The Distance Learning classes are usually timed to coincide with resident offerings. The course of studies is designed to improve the student's performance in operational, acquisition, research, engineering, and maintenance positions by providing the students with a firm background in the fundamentals of the science of underwater acoustics and its naval applications.

126: SONAR System Applications Certificate

The SONAR System Applications curriculum is available to resident and Distance Learning students. It can be combined with Fundamentals of Engineering Acoustics and Underwater Acoustics academic certificate programs for partial fulfillment of requirements for Master of Science in Engineering Acoustics or Master of Engineering Acoustics degrees by Distance Learning students. Students typically take one course per quarter within a four-quarter period (12 months). The Distance Learning classes are usually timed to coincide with resident offerings. The course of studies is designed to improve the student's performance in operational, maintenance, research, engineering, and acquisition positions by providing the students with a firm background in the fundamentals of the theory and practice of the signal processing techniques that underlie naval applications of SONAR systems.
