Architect Development and Qualification Program
Lockheed Martin created the Architect Development & Qualification Program (ADQP) for Architects and Technical Leaders in 1992 based upon the IBM Federal Systems System Architect program and it maintains a long and successful history training over 500 employees. The program develops and recognizes Technical Leaders at Lockheed Martin. Lockheed Martin employees can find out more about the ADQP program.
Sikorsky Lockheed-Martin and UConn Partnership
By participating in the University of Connecticut’s Advanced Systems Engineering courses, Lockheed Martin employees can gain knowledge and skills needed to meet the Architect Development and Training requirements for the Lockheed Martin ADQP. The Graduate Certificate in Advanced Systems Engineering requires four graduate courses and the Master’s of Engineering requires ten graduate courses. Click here to find out more about our education programs.
All of our Systems Engineering courses are offered by our distance-learning model, so employees located in the United States or internationally can participate. Click here to find out more about our distance-learning model.
We currently offer nine Systems Engineering courses focused on systems architecting and modeling and four engineering courses that develop engineering principles and practices and project management essentials. Click here to find out more about our SE and ENGR courses.
We offer monthly online info sessions so that employees can learn more about our systems engineering programs and courses. Register for upcoming info sessions.
The UConn School of Engineering can allow up to three systems engineering courses (9 credit hours) of transfer credit for Lockheed Martin and Sikorsky employees who participated in the Lockheed Martin Leadership Development Program (LDP) or the Sikorsky Aircraft Program Management Rotation Program (PMRP), which can be transferred into the Advanced Systems Engineering Master of Engineering. Contact Amy Thompson, Assoc. Director of Academics, to determine your eligibility to transfer nine credits from another institution.
You can find more information on how to apply and application requirements for the Graduate Certificate and the Master’s of Engineering Degree.
