Dear Student,
You are facing an important decision: how to continue your engineering education while meeting all your other commitments. UW-Madison’s Office of Engineering Outreach can help make your decision easier. We can provide you with a powerful learning experience where and when you need it. We offer graduate level courses and degree programs in four engineering specializations: power electronics, computer controls, polymer engineering and science and technical Japanese. We also offer certificate programs in technical Japanese for professionals, and polymer engineering and science.
Through the Office of Engineering Outreach, you can keep up-to-date in your technical field while you stay connected to your life.
All courses are recorded during the live on-campus class meeting. Lectures are digitized and linked to a course homepage. Lectures can also be mailed to individual students on DVD. Students view these lectures at times and locations that fit their schedules, while completing course assignments and tests on schedules comparable to those of their on-campus counterparts.
Registration is easy. Register as an engineering special student if you are interested in taking a course for professional development along with academic credit but are not ready or do not want to apply to graduate school. Or, apply as a graduate student: oeo.engr.wisc.edu/admissionprocess.html
Take a look at what we have to offer and how you can benefit from these quality courses. Do you have questions? Use the phone number or email listed at the left to contact me. I look forward to helping you continue your engineering education.
Sincerely, Helene Demont
Credit Courses at a Distance
We bring the classroom to you!
Overview
- Credit courses are taught by UW-Madison faculty members before on-campus student audiences.
- Lectures are posted to a website for viewing.
- Off-campus students watch the lectures at a time and place convenient to them.
- Students communicate with the campus via e-mail, fax or telephone.
- Exams are taken at UW-Madison or proctored by a corporate director of training, a human resource director or a continuing education office.
Off-campus students are expected to work on a schedule similar to a university semester.
Sample Lectures
Sample lectures are available for viewing or download. Take a look at what we have to offer and how you can benefit from these quality programs.
Who is Eligible to Obtain Course Lectures?
- Engineering special students (not yet accepted into a degree program) taking courses as credit students
- Matriculated graduate students working on an MS degree
- Anyone who wishes to purchase them
Admission to the Graduate School
Admission to the Graduate School is based on high probability of success in graduate work. Students’ undergraduate and postgraduate academic records weigh heavily in this process. Minimum Graduate School requirements include:
- A bachelor's degree from an accredited institution
- An undergraduate major in a similar field, or equivalent evidence of a suitable background
- An undergraduate GPA of at least 3.0 (4.0 scale)
No applicant is ever admitted to the Graduate School without a favorable recommendation from the proposed major department.
Applicants should clearly indicate “Master of Science in ME, ECE or EPD via distance education” on their statement of “Reasons for Graduate Study.”
