The certificate programs are compatible with MSEE and EE degree requirements, enabling certificate recipients to apply graduate credits received during the certificate s towards NPS degrees.

The certificate programs may be pursued concurrently with the the graduate degrees. Benefits Certificate programs provide the fundamental background and analytical skills needed in a specific technical area to individuals involved in the specification, design, or management of technical systems or programs pertaining to that area. Certificate Completion Requirements Requirements for each certificate are met by passing each course and obtaining an average overall GQPR of 3.

Academic certificate programs must be completed within a three-year span. Who Can Apply? Entrance Requirements for students not already enrolled at NPS APC Acceptance by the ECE Department: Entrance to the Electrical and Computer Engineering curriculum at the Naval Postgraduate School is through a three-part requirement consisting of a minimum grade point average GPA at the undergraduate level, a sufficient mathematics background, and a sufficient background in technical undergraduate studies.

Applicants with a B. For non resident students: Copy of Python matrix showing planned certificate courses must be provided as supporting document. DL students: DL Students already enrolled in a NPS degree program : Certificate application s may be submitted when all courses counted as part of the certificate have been taken. Apply to NPS online and select the certificate of interest. Cost For current NPS students: There are no additional costs associated with the certificate programs.

For foreign applicants only : tuition questions should be directed to the International Graduate Programs Office. Is There a Service Commitment? Certificate List Accordion. High Performance Computer Architecture [Flyer] The certificate provides a solid engineering foundation which covers both fundamental and advanced concepts of high-performance computers and computer systems.

The three-course sequence is composed of: EC - Microprocessor Based System Design EC - Introduction to Computer Architecture and one graduate level graded course from the list shown below. Digital Communications [Flyer] Provides students an understanding of random processes sufficient for analysis of communication systems and networks corrupted by broadband noise and multipath fading.

Electric Ship Power Systems [Flyer] Provides a solid engineering foundation which covers the fundamental concepts in electrical power conversion and electromechanical power conversion at the advanced level.

Signal Processing [Flyer] Provides students an understanding of digital signal processing fundamentals, principles, and applications at the advanced level.

The minimum number of credits needed to meet certificate requirements is CS Network Traffic Analysis Offered in the Fall quarters Explores fundamentals of packet-switched network traffic analysis at the network layer and above as applied to problems in traffic engineering, economics, security, etc.

Explores the design and integration of analytic tools and techniques into the fabric of the network including: spatial and temporal anomaly detection, origin-destination matrix estimation, application mix determination, deep-packet inspection, fingerprinting, intrusion detection and insider threat mitigation.

Finally, the course covers active defense and offensive methods reliant on traffic analysis. Prerequisites: CS and CS or equivalent. Elements of graph theory, data structure, algorithms, and computational complexity.

Applications to production and inventory, routing, scheduling, network interdiction, and personnel management. Prerequisite: OA Secure Comms. Program Length Variable. Required Courses MA - Applied Modern Algebra and Number Theory This course is devoted to aspects of modern algebra and number theory that directly support applications, principally in communication. The algebraic emphasis is on ring and field theory, with special emphasis on the theory of finite fields, as well as those aspects of group theory that are important in the development of coding theory.

Elements of number theory include congruences and factorization. These include error correcting codes and cryptography. Techniques developed for efficient, reliable and secure communication are stressed. Effects of noise on information transmission are analyzed and techniques to combat their effects are developed. Linear codes, finite fields, single and multiple error-correcting codes are discussed.

Codes have numerous applications for communication in the military, and these will be addressed. Some simple cryptosystems are described and classical techniques of substitution and transposition are considered. Applications of cryptography and cryptanalysis.

Prerequisite: MA Additionally, the students in the program can register in MA Combinatorial Mathematics Advanced techniques in enumerative combinatorics and an introduction to combinatorial structures.

Prerequisite: MA The certificate program is self-contained, requiring only an elementary course in discrete mathematics for entry MA or MA - Discrete Mathematics. Science Comms. Required Courses MA Matrix Analysis This course provides students in the engineering and physical sciences curricula with an applications-oriented coverage of major topics of matrix and linear algebra.
