E-Learning Overview

Join the next generation of engineers and technicians through innovative e-Learning; upgrade your skills from your home or office.
Our e-Learning courses feature hands-on tasks and real-world applications.
Learn from professional instructors and international experts.

Whether you want to refresh your current knowledge or update your skills, our e-Learning programs will help you to achieve your goals.

The Engineering Institute of Technology (EIT) e-Learning Engineering and Technical courses are designed for engineers and technicians who either cannot attend standard classroom led training due to time or distance limitations, or for those who simply want more flexible training. The courses feature hands-on tasks, real-world applications and use a multi-pronged approach involving self-study, interactive on-line classes and assignments with a mentor on call.

Benefits of e-Learning to Students

Interactive – Live, interactive sessions let you communicate with your instructor and fellow students
Flexible - short interactive sessions over the internet which you can attend from your home or office
Practical – perform exercises using remote labs and simulation software
Expert instructors – instructors have extensive industry experience, not just academics
No geographical limits – learn from any location, all you need is an Internet connection
Constant support – from your course instructor and coordinator for the duration of the course
International Insight - Interact and network with participants from around the globe and gain valuable insight into international practice

Benefits of e-Learning to Employers

Lower training costs - no travel or accommodation necessary
Less downtime - short 1 hour webcasts and flexible training methods means less time away from the office
Retain employees – keep staff who may be considering full time study
Increase efficiency – improve your engineering or technical employees’ skills and knowledge
International Insight – students will have access to internationally based professional instructors and students

How Does it Work?

Engineering Institute of Technology (EIT) e-Learning courses involve a combination of live, interactive sessions over the Internet with a professional instructor, set readings and assignments. The courses include simulation software and remote laboratory applications to let you put theory to practice, and provide you with constant support from your course coordinator.

The courses consist of a set number of modules delivered over a given time frame. Presentations and group discussions will be conducted using a live, interactive software system which will be provided to you before commencement of the course. For each module you will have an initial reading assignment (which will be delivered to you in electronic format in advance of the online presentations), and written assignment to be completed and returned to the instructor for marking.

Practical Exercises and Remote Laboratories

As part of the groundbreaking new way of teaching, our e-Learning courses use a series of remote laboratories (labs) and simulation software, to facilitate your learning and to test the knowledge you gain during your course. These involve complete working labs set up at various locations of the world into which you will be able to log and proceed through the various practical sessions.

These will be supplemented by simulation software, running either remotely or on your computer, to ensure you gain the requisite hands-on experience. No one can learn much solely from lectures, the labs and simulation software are designed to increase the absorption of the materials and to give you a practical orientation of the learning experience. All this will give you a solid, practical exposure to the key principles covered and will ensure that you obtain maximum benefit from your course.

There are currently four e-learning streams available (with Masters Degree accreditation pending):

Certificate Courses
Advanced Diploma Courses
Graduate Diploma Courses (Coming Soon)
Corporate/On-Demand e-Learning Courses

On-Demand E-Learning and Corporate E-Learning

If you have several engineering or technical employees who require training, or are interested in a topic we don’t already have scheduled, please contact us regarding our on-demand E-Learning courses. We are also able to customize course content and delivery to suit your organization. We require a minimum of 5 – 6 participants but it does also depend on whether there is a presenter available. We can also put together corporate packages for large organisations that require training over a longer time period.
