Certificate in Packaging Engineering

The Agricultural and Biological Engineering graduate studies program offers an opportunity for students to earn a certificate in packaging engineering. The packaging engineering certificate emphasizes engineering solutions to problems associated with packaging systems involving specification, design, manufacturing and sustainability.

Students will be required to successfully complete 15 credit hours of the packaging engineering courses listed below to earn the Packaging Engineering Certificate. Engineering students may substitute one advisor-approved engineering elective, or a packaging-related internship or coop for a required packaging engineering course, where the student’s engineering academic advisor for her/his major, or Dr. Bruce Welt in the ABE Department, can approve the substitution as described.

IMPORTANT: To enroll in this certificate, the student must apply online following the link below (and click to “Apply Here" in that page):
