In partnership with LSU College of Engineering, Digi Twin Global, and LSU Online, this fundamental Digital Twin certificate introduces the core ideas, tools, and real-world uses of digital twin technology. Across seven courses, learners explore how digital twins—virtual models of real-world systems—are created, managed, and used in industries like construction, manufacturing, energy, healthcare, and IT.

Through case studies, guided tutorials, and hands-on activities, learners will:

• learn how digital twins are built and what technologies they use.
• determine when a digital twin is worth developing.
• see how digital twins are used to track, monitor, and improve real-world systems.
• practice using common software platforms and integrating real data.
• explain digital twin benefits to both technical teams and decision-makers.
• explore important topics like data ownership, security, and legal risks.

This certificate is ideal for professionals in engineering, IT, operations, or project management who want a practical understanding of digital twins and their growing role in digital transformation. No programming or coding background is required.
