Coursework for this degree program is split between 2 schools, but you won’t have to leave the UW-Rock County campus. UW-Rock offers all of the general education (liberal arts), mathematics, natural science and pre-engineering courses, while UW-Platteville offers all engineering major coursework with on-site faculty and facilities. Therefore, most students earn an Associate of Arts and Science degree from the UW-Colleges and a Bachelor of Science in (Major) Engineering from UW-Platteville.
We schedule courses in Electrical and Mechanical engineering around your outside commitments and other needed courses. You'll work closely with your faculty advisor and the collaborative program manager to ensure a smart course-scheduling plan. Such planning also helps faculty know which courses students want offered at our facility.
A few upper-level courses for each engineering major will be offered via streaming video delivery. This means that we record lectures from another UW-Platteville class locations and make it available to students via the internet. You do not watch it live; you review it on your own time wherever you have internet access. Students interact with their professor by way of telephone, email, webcams, text messaging and/or virtual office chat. Your instructor will provide a link to you for such interaction; there is no need to buy or download anything. Any lab or design component to such courses will take place via the lab facilities at UW-Rock.
