Brief Overview

The Human Systems Integration Certificate program is a distance learning, graduate-level, non-degree program designed to enable acquisition professionals, program managers, engineers and scientists of the DoD to effectively implement Human Systems Integration (HSI) as required by the DoD.

Students will learn the fundamentals in applying usability assessments, modeling, optimization, and decision making to demonstrate cost-benefit trade-offs for technical, cost, and schedule modifications in systems acquisition.

The program consists of four online courses taken over a 12-month period. The course content and projects address problems of interest to the DoD.

Requirements for Entry

Completion of DAU ACQ 101 and ACQ 201A. 

Convenes

Fall

Program Length

Four quarters.

Subspecialty Code

4600L

Outcomes

The goal of the Human Systems Integration Certificate Program is to acquaint HSI practitioners, HSI domain practitioners, Program Managers, Systems Engineers, Logisticians, and other Acquisition Professionals in the policies and processes for conducting HSI in DoN, DoD, and other Federal Agencies.

Graduate Certificate Requirements

Requirements for the certificate are met by successful completion of OA3411, OA3412, OA3413, and OA4414, in succession.

Alternatively, the HSI Certificate Program capstone experience of OA4414 can be met by completing SE3211 (Systems Engineering Management Capstone I) and SE3212 (Systems Engineering Management Capstone II).
