The OCSMP exam is your easiest win. You can pass the exam by reading a book and studying. It can be done in as little as a week. You can also purchase the sysml accelerator video series to help study. I've had people pass the MU and the MBF within a week.

What makes a good Systems Engineer is someone who (a) knows systems thinking, and (b) knows or will learn the system of interest. As a newbie fresh out of school, you will not be the lead systems engineer on anything. Rather, you will spend 5+ years learning the environment and your company's rules and customs. You are going to spend most of your time maintaining DOORS or JAMA requirements, documenting interfaces, or making SysML diagrams at someone else's direction.

If you are truly aiming to get a job as a Systems Engineer I would focus on INCOSE over OCSMP. Like someone above said, OCSMP is certification of a modeling language, which has value but only if you know that the specific company you are applying for values SysML principles. It is a nice tool to know but it is a single tool.Whereas, INCOSE will cover topics that you will use in your SysEng toolbag throughout your career. It really sets the foundation for becoming a systems thinker, but it does require significantly more time and energy than OCSMP cert. I wish I had focused on an INCOSE cert earlier in my career when I had more free time. Given that you are a few months from graduating, seems like it could be a good time. Either way it seems you’re on the right track!
