    "description": "<p>This joint graduate certificate will provide higher-level courses in the areas of guidance, navigation, control, and dynamics. Students joining the program will be introduced to concepts of nonlinear dynamics, optimal control, estimation, linear and nonlinear control and their application in real engineering problems. Students will learn to synthesize theory and application at the graduate level to produce the knowledge base necessary to make an immediate impact in the aerospace, mechanical and electrical engineering industries.</p><p>The graduate certificate in guidance control and dynamics is awarded upon completion of a minimum of 12 credit hours, including 6 credit hours of required courses, and 6 credit hours of electives.</p><p><strong>Total Credit Hours Required: 1</strong><strong>2</strong><strong> Credit Hours Minimum beyond the Bachelor's Degree</strong></p><p><strong>Please Note: </strong>Guidance Control and Dynamics Graduate Certificate may be completed fully online, although not all elective options or program prerequisites may be offered online. Newly admitted students choosing to complete this program exclusively via UCF online classes may enroll with a reduction in campus-based fees.</p><p>International students (F or J visa) are required to enroll in a full-time course load of 9 credit hours during the fall and spring semesters. Only 3 of the 9 credit hours may be taken in a completely online format.
