In order to minimize their impact on company work schedules, these programs are broadcast primarily during the noon hour. These professional development courses are aimed at a wide range of employees, from secretaries and technicians to managers and engineers. The company will designate an employee to function as the DEN coordinator. This coordinator will serve as an informed liaison between DEN faculty and staff and the company and be responsible for advertising, coordinating, and administrating DEN at the company level. The company will provide a minimum of two rooms to be used as classroom space and basic equipment including suitable TV monitors, computers, and Internet connections to view the School Engineering courses.
Initial costs are modest.
The cost to students at member companies for credit courses consists of University tuition, a DEN surcharge, and course related fees. Technical short courses, seminars, conferences, and workshops are priced separately. There is no cost for a standard installation of up to four rooms. A quotation for installation of equipment necessary to receive the two DEN satellite channels will be provided upon request. A free site survey confirming signal reception, potential viewing room locations, cable access, and possible antenna locations is performed before an installation is scheduled.
