Academic Programs

Program Overview

The certificate program covers blockchain platforms that bring about transparency and trust to all participants in complex multiparty relationships, such as Ethereum. The implication is tremendous—from new currency and incentive systems to faster, less expensive, and more-efficient transactions of all kinds, to banking and healthcare. You’ll have an opportunity to learn how blockchain platforms and their underlying trust models will impact the future of legally binding, multiparty contracts. You’ll also have an opportunity to learn how crypto-engineering techniques can be used to create digital trust fabrics and safely facilitate the movement of any transaction.

Experiential Learning

Northeastern combines rigorous academics with experiential learning and research to prepare students for real-world engineering challenges. The cooperative education program, also known as co-op, is one of the largest and most innovative in the world, and Northeastern is one of only a few that offers a co-op program for graduate students. Through this program, students gain professional industry experience in their field of interest as part of the academic curriculum while employed from four to eight months in a wide variety of organizations, from large companies to entrepreneurial startups.
 
In 2019, the Graduate School of Engineering placed nearly 1000 students in co-op positions. We have a team that prepares students for the cooperative education experience through resumé building, developing interview skills, and guiding professional development.
