If you want to update or refresh your skills in an area, or get a “first-taste” in a new discipline, SCPD offers graduate courses through the Non Degree Option (NDO). You may take individual courses or earn a graduate certificate through successful completion of three to five courses in:
Biodesign
Design For Customer Value and Market Success
Engineering Mechanics
Product Creation and Innovative Manufacturing
