Advantages of Distance Learning to Online Classes

We believe that online courses, in general, are not suitable for engineering. That is why we Go Distance. Distance Learning is different from Online Classes in several ways. In distance learning:

  • You can have face-to-face interaction with the instructors virtually all the time during the lecture.
  • Our instructors directly deliver the lectures to you and other students. We do NOT just post the lecture materials for you to read on your own.
  • You will receive the lab equipment at your local college and will perform the experiments with the direct and live supervision of your instructor at Miami University.

Quick Facts About our Distance Learning

  • Miami University delivers 13 engineering technology courses (34 distance credits) to students enrolled at the colleges listed above.
  • Students take remaining courses (which include bridge courses and the Ohio Transfer Module) at their home campus. See individual college articulation agreements for details.
  • ENT distance learning courses are generally offered Monday-Thursday in the evening via interactive video conferencing and web-supported technology.
