Unlock the Power of Digital Twins Through New Online Certificate

The Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Carnegie Mellon University is empowering practicing engineers with AI skills to lead and innovate in their organizations. 

A new graduate certificate program from Carnegie Mellon’s Civil and Environmental Engineering department is equipping current engineers with the power of AI-enabled digital twins. The best part? It's offered 100% online, so students can learn these transformative skills from anywhere at their own pace. 

“With an understanding of AI and digital twin technologies, we have more reliable and actionable  information than ever before at our fingertips to make better decisions, predictions, and models,” said Burcu Akinci, head of the department of civil and environmental engineering. “The principles and techniques taught in this certificate will help civil engineers close the loop between physical and digital worlds. We are teaching students how to use these technologies to accurately predict, control, and manage each unique project, process, building, or environment throughout its lifecycle.”

Students will take two transcriptable graduate-level courses, starting with Principles of Digital Twins and moving onto Digital Twins and AI for Predictive Analytics, taught by members of our world-class faculty, Associate Professor Pingbo Tang and Professor Mario Bergés. The program can be completed in just two semesters and is designed especially for working professionals looking to advance their knowledge and bring cutting-edge technologies back to their organizations.
