Herr Schmidt hat folgende Kenntnisnachweise mit Erfolg abgelegt:
Numerische Mathematik I
Programierkurs
Arbeitswissenschaft I
From a Diplomprüfung Zeugnis in mechanical engineering from the Rheinisch-Westf. Technische Hochschule in Aachen.
I don't know exactly what 'Kenntnisnachweise' are. Are they certificates of some kind or has he just succesfully demonstrated knowledge in the indicated subjects?

exams/tests
Since “abgelegt” is mentioned (although the German sounds somewhat odd in that respect) I suppose that the candidate has passed exams/tests in these disciplines.
4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer.
Comment: "I suppose I will go with the votes on this one."

proof of knowledge/skills
I've been translating exam regulations for an art college (art, engineering, same thing;-)) Where "nachweise" appears in this text, it's translatable by "proof" (several kinds). As far as I personally know it's not the name of an official certificate (unfortunately no capitalised adjectives or similar here to provide indications).Myself I'd put "certificates" non-capitalised if it makes sense of the sentence structure. Alternatively check with client.
