The Introduction to Systems Engineering course offered by Johns Hopkins University Engineering for Professionals (EP) Systems Engineering program has officially been recognized by the International Council on Systems Engineering (INCOSE). This recognition qualifies students who complete the course to meet the knowledge requirements for INCOSE’s Associate Systems Engineering Professional (ASEP) and Certified Systems Engineering Professional (CSEP) certifications, streamlining their path to professional certification in systems engineering.
As one of the nation’s leading part-time online systems engineering programs, the JHU EP Systems Engineering program focuses on providing industry-aligned education. Its faculty members, many of whom work at Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory and the Whiting School of Engineering, bring real-world experience directly into the classroom, strengthening the program’s success and contributing to its strong national ranking.
INCOSE, a global, non-profit organization with more than 65 chapters and more than 23,000 members worldwide, advances system engineering through education, research, and practice. Its certification process confirms individuals’ competency in the field, enhancing career prospects.
“Our program is dedicated to delivering the highest quality education through a rigorous curriculum. We are thrilled that INCOSE has recognized our Introduction to Systems Engineering course as equivalent to the ASEP and CSEP certification knowledge exams. This recognition enables our students to take a significant first step toward becoming INCOSE-certified systems engineering professionals and to further their ability to make significant contributions to the field,” said Andrew Merkle, chair of the Systems Engineering program.
David Flanigan, vice chair of the program, who recently achieved Expert Systems Engineering Professional (ESEP) certification, emphasized the value of this recognition.
“This recognition enables our students to validate their knowledge and skills at an early stage, setting them up for long-term success in an increasingly competitive field,” he said.
