The Wm Michael Barnes ’64 Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering has developed a high-quality, 13-semester credit hour certificate program for a new generation of engineers who are prepared to deal with the specific needs and challenges, and the complex environments of modern data centers in the government, industry and academia.
The Data Center Operations Engineering Certificate provides an integrated education preparing a new workforce for the specific challenges involved in planning and decision-making for running the operations, designing the infrastructure, and managing the resources in large-scale data centers. The technical focus of this certificate revolves around the development of the critical skills needed by employees of data centers, including a theoretical and practical foundation in the critical top areas of power, cooling, effective systems management, and computer systems. This certificate program, which began in fall 2014, includes a set of courses to ensure that students develop this knowledge and skill set.
