EngiNet™
About the Program

UB School of Engineering is committed to delivering distance education graduate course offerings without boundaries to students throughout the world. We call our system EngiNet™ - an acronym for 'engineering network.' This system is designed to provide New York State industry engineers with state-of-the-art engineering instruction to reach individual graduate students throughout the world.

UB Engineering currently offers graduate degree listed programs in Civil, Structural and Environmental Engineering, Computer Science and Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Industrial and Systems Engineering, and Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering. Program details can be researched through the individual departments.

Presently, 50% of all coursework towards a degree can be taken via distance education. We are currently in the process of seeking NY State Department of Education approval for full distance education access.

Courses are distributed by sharing on campus recorded lectures with students. All EngiNet™ instructors are well-versed in the special needs of distant students. Professors accommodate those needs through personal interaction via telephone, fax and e-mail. Homework and tests are administered so that class materials are paced throughout the semester. Finished assignments are returned by students via email or fax, to the professor directly.

EngiNet™ courses are delivered streamed over the web or in CD format by special arrangements only. A student can take the class whenever he or she finds it convenient to access the web. Individual communication times between the student and professor are arranged according to mutually beneficial schedules. On occasion, distant students utilize videoconferencing technology to join host-site students for presentations and discourse. Individual accommodations and scheduling are required for this on a case-by-case basis.
