Why Online? makes pursuing further study very challenging. Our online programs have been specifically
designed to reduce the significant financial, time and travel commitments often required by
traditional on-campus programs.

DELIVERY Remote Labs Duration and Time Commitment

EIT uses an innovative, online approach to
ensure that you have a supportive, interactive
and practical education experience. Our
delivery model involves live, interactive online
webinars, remote laboratories, simulation
software and assignments with support from
a dedicated Learning Support Officer and
Academic Staff.
Webinars are conducted using a specialized,
live, interactive software system. You will
receive course materials and assessments
through a Learning Management System
which is available 24 hours a day.
All you need to participate is an adequate
Internet connection, a computer, speakers
and, if possible, a microphone.
You will participate in practical laboratory
assignments using remote laboratories
and simulation software, to ensure you
receive the requisite hands-on experience.
The hardware equipment connected to
most of the computers, both industrial
and educational, allow you to perform real
implementation of engineering activities
by interfacing the computers, software and
simulators to real-world hardware.
Entry Requirements
To gain entry into this program, you need
to meet EIT’s entry requirements. All
program entry requirements are available
on the EIT website.
This program is presented through
intensive, part-time delivery over 24
months. Successful students are likely to
spend approximately 10-15 hours per week
in order to cover the material adequately
and to gain sufficient knowledge in each
unit. This includes the preparatory reading,
attendance at each webinar and the time
necessary to complete the assignments and
laboratory work.
The program is not delivered via a
traditional semester, or term based system.
EIT delivers this program continuously
over 24 months; however students will
receive a short break over the December
festive season.
