online, hybrid). Based upon enrollment and/or duration of the program, we will make every effort to deliver the content in a modality that best meets your employees’ needs. Our faculty will design the curriculum to meet your company’s learning goals and ensure that the content is both technically rigorous and resonates with your employees. We strongly value the application of new knowledge to real-world scenarios. Therefore, we recommend that every certificate program include a capstone project application, wherein the employee demonstrates mastery of the certificate’s content via a hands-on, company-defined project.

Executive education Villanova Engineering is open to developing certificate programs and individual course offerings that do not align with the creditbearing model. For example, we can design and deliver a certificate plan that would take three months or three weeks to complete. We can also create programs that combine technical and nontechnical topics (leadership, management, ethics) for employees at all levels of your organization.

GRADUATE CERTIFICATES CUSTOMIZED FOR YOUR NEEDS.

Villanova Engineering is prepared to launch an array of industry-focused graduate certificates that are tailored to your company’s technical development needs, including but not limited to the following: Additive Manufacturing Aerospace Structures Autonomous Systems and Robotics Autonomous Vehicles Cell Therapy Chemical Fates Composites Data Center Thermal Management Electric Vehicles Energy Storage Engineering Entrepreneurship Engineering Management Ergonomics Financial Engineering Humanitarian Engineering
