Embry-Riddle airworthiness engineer graduate students working in the NEAR Lab.

Graduate Certificate in
Airworthiness Engineering

The Graduate Certificate in Airworthiness Engineering prepares students to enhance their airworthiness engineering careers through additional studies.

The landscape of airworthiness engineering has undergone significant changes in the past years, creating a need for timely education and specialized expertise in the field. Airworthiness Engineering encompasses various complex factors that play crucial roles in determining the safety of flight operations. 

Embry-Riddle has created the Certificate of Study in Airworthiness Engineering (CSAE) to equip students with the essential skills and knowledge required to excel in the specialized field of airworthiness engineering. Graduates learn to ensure that aircraft are safe to fly by evaluating their design, construction and maintenance to meet strict safety standards and regulatory requirements.

Student Learning Outcomes

You will have the opportunity to learn the following while studying for an AWE career:

  • Exhibit an understanding of civil and military regulatory frameworks, national and international.

  • Apply to contemporary issues in air system certification.

  • Perform engineering analysis using acceptable methods for substantiating airworthiness compliance to requirements.

  • Effectively communicate information, both technical and procedural, in written and oral forms to audiences in the aviation and aerospace disciplines.
