Build In-Demand Engineering Skills with Micro-credentials
Whether you're looking to upskill, change careers, or explore an emerging field, CEDC Engineering micro-credentials offer a flexible way to gain practical, industry-relevant skills.
Designed for professionals, graduates, and lifelong learners, these short courses help you develop expertise in specific subject areas while earning a university-issued credential that demonstrates your achievement.
What is a Micro-credential?
A micro-credential is a short, focused learning program that recognizes your achievement in a specific skill or area of knowledge. Unlike a traditional degree or diploma, micro-credentials allow you to develop targeted expertise without the commitment of a longer qualification.
At CEDC Engineering, our micro-credentials are designed in collaboration with industry and academic experts to provide practical, relevant learning that supports career development and lifelong learning.

Stackable Micro-credentials
Stackable micro-credentials allow you to earn recognized credentials as you progress through your coursework. Each micro-credential represents a distinct set of skills, and eligible micro-credentials can be combined—or stacked—to earn a larger academic credential, such as a certificate. This lets you demonstrate your knowledge and achievements throughout your learning journey while working toward a broader credential.
Quantum information Technology Computing Certificate
The Quantum Computing Certificate is a four-course program that provides hands-on experience in quantum computing software and quantum technology hardware. As you complete the certificate, you can earn stackable Quantum Micro-Credentials by completing designated two-course pathways in quantum foundations, software, and hardware.
Each micro-credential recognizes a specialized set of skills, and the same courses count toward both the micro-credential and the certificate—no additional coursework is required.
Complete these four courses to earn the Quantum Computing Certificate:
- ELEC/PHYS 4678/5678 – Intro to Quantum Computing
- ELEC/PHYS 4680/5680 – Foundations of Quantum Technology
- ELEC/PHYS 4679/5679 – Quantum Computing Algorithms
- ELEC/PHYS 4681/5681 – Quantum Technology Systems

Quality Assurance and Regulatory Affairs Certificate
The Quality Assurance & Regulatory Affairs (QA/RA) Certificate at CU Denver equips students for careers in life sciences, biotech, and medical devices. This interdisciplinary program covers regulatory strategy, quality systems, risk management, and compliance, preparing learners to ensure medical products meet rigorous standards.
Offered in partnership with industry leaders and the Colorado BioScience Institute, the program blends online coursework with a hands-on capstone at Denver-area companies. Participants gain practical skills, mentorship, and professional connections, making them ready to contribute from day one. Flexible and accessible, it’s ideal for professionals looking to upskill or enter QA/RA without pursuing a full degree.
