Admission to the certificate programs is limited to students enrolled in either the MS or PhD programs in the Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering.
 
Matriculated students only.

The Engineering Machine Learning Systems certificate program educates about the mathematical theory, fundamental algorithms, and optimized engineering of computational learning systems used in real-world, big data applications. Students will also study modern technologies used in devising such data systems, including software tools, architectures, and related hardware structures. Comprehensive, hands-on student projects on designing, implementing, and testing real-world learning systems are part of the certificate program. The certificate program includes a total of four courses: three required courses and one elective course.

To receive the Stony Brook certificate in the Engineering Machine Learning Systems, a student must be currently enrolled in an MS or PhD program in the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department and must complete four courses as specified below, with at least a B grade in each course.

Foundations (1 required):


Notes:


To apply for the Engineering Machine Learning Systems Certificate Program, a student must complete the “Permission to Enroll in a Secondary Certificate Program” form (which requires some signatures) from the Graduate School website, and submit it within the first week of the semester when they start the certificate.

Students will not be permitted to extend their time in the MS or PhD degree program based on entering the certificate program. The student MUST complete the secondary certificate within the time limit for the original program.
