The traditional classroom is transforming. Villanova University’s College
of Engineering is at the forefront of this trend in its
award winning
distance education program. With this evolving mode of delivering higher
education, professors and students who are separated by physical distance
are able to bridge the instructional gap through the use of technology.
The College has three world-class distance education classrooms that
have allowed it to offer master's degrees fully online with the latest technology.
Using video teleconferencing, tablet PC's, and the latest rich-media
web broadcast, classes can be delivered anytime, anywhere, to anyone, without
compromising the quality of education. Everything in the program is broadcast
live and then archived and made available to all students in the class 24
hours a day, seven days a week. In this way, the online program not only
creates the online experience, but also enhances the regular in-class environment.
This method of instruction provides the opportunity for students to pursue
their engineering education with the flexibility that is essential in today’s
business world.
"I'm going to watch the lecture later tonight
- the advantage of your technology! This format is the only way I'm
able to do this program. Working full time, wife, house, one year
old....I never thought a "real" masters would be an option for me."
