Graduate engineering education most often couples classroom and research instruction. As teachers, mentors, and advisors, the faculty freely share their knowledge and are receptive to individual student needs. Several faculty hold the title of Senior University Scholar-the highest faculty honor bestowed by the University of Illinois, and a substantial number hold the honor of Fellow in their professional society. The Programs The classes, offered one evening per week, are particularly suited to working students. Student have the opportunity to obtain an advanced engineering degree in a program designed to fit their schedules.
Students typically enroll in one class a term, scheduled for evenings or Saturdays.
Courses held in the Chicago suburbs are convenient for students working nearby. Locations include Oakbrook and Schaumburg. Course format also is designed for working students. UIC engineering faculty teach some courses personally. Others are videotaped lectures coupled with periodic visits by the instructor.
