Penn State Great Valley has an Academic Equivalency agreement with the International Council on Systems Engineering (INCOSE). This agreement includes courses recognized as equivalent to the certification knowledge exam, fulfilling a requirement for Associate Systems Engineering Professional (ASEP), Certified Systems Engineering Professional (CSEP) certification and Expert Systems Engineering Professional (ESEP).
Under this agreement, students in the Master of Engineering in Systems Engineering program, or those enrolled in graduate certificates in systems engineering, who excel in courses assessed for Academic Equivalence (AcEq) can bypass the certification knowledge exam when applying for ASEP, CSEP and ESEP Certification through INCOSE, giving them a competitive edge.
Students applying through AcEq must still meet all other INCOSE certification requirements, including individual membership and application fees.
