Learn How to Design a Quieter Ride

3 students working around a table. Many consumers want vehicles that ride quietly, but designing them presents a host of engineering challenges. You’ll learn about the connection between automotive structural design and noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) in this graduate certificate program from the ÿ�մ��.

You can take all courses for the 12-credit certificate in person, online, or a combination of both. We schedule them in the late afternoon and evening so they’re convenient for part-time students who work.

You can apply credits earned for the certificate toward graduate degrees offered by UM-Dearborn’s Department of Mechanical Engineering.
