Overview

Constructive Partnership

The Systems and Product Development program of Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) is offered to employees of SDM affiliates and is designed to move corporations toward a shared definition of systems engineering core capabilities.

Core & Curriculum

Students in the certificate program complete three semesters of the core curriculum, Fundamentals of System Engineering and Management. This course, attended jointly with our master’s program fellows, provides an integrated view of architecting, engineering, and managing the development of complex systems.

In addition, all students attend 14 professional seminar days on MIT’s campus. These experiences offer students the opportunity to be fully immersed in the MIT ecosystem alongside their peers, faculty, and industry project sponsors. Programming provides intensive and accelerated team-building, inter-cohort networking, and an introduction to MIT history with the following focuses:

August Boot Camp – Leadership, cohort building, and team formation

January – Integration of methodologies into real-world practice

May – Executive presentation skills

Programme Structure

Courses include:

The integrated three-term core course, completed at a distance
