Open learning is a teaching method .

Open learning is supposed to allow pupils
self-determined, independent and
interest-guided learning.
Also : Active Learning.Cooperative
Learning.Distance Education.Open
Education.
Distance education or distance learning is a field of

education that focuses on teaching methods and
technology with the aim of delivering teaching, often
on an individual basis, to students who are not
physically present in a traditional educational setting
such as a classroom.
It has been described as "a process to create and
provide access to learning when the source of
information and the learners are separated by time
and distance, or both."

Teesside University Open Learning in

Engineering [TUOL]
Teesside University open learning in engineering

(TUOL) is the worlds leading provider of high quality
flexible education to the engineering industry.
For 25 years we have been creating high quality, stand
alone, open learning materials. It is a realistic way to
deliver necessary training and education to staff who
are unable to attend conventional classroom based
courses. So, if you work on an oil rig in the Caribbean
or in pipeline construction in a desert, your
professional development need not be interrupted
you can study at your own pace, effectively anywhere.
12

Engineering [TUOL]
More than 30,000 students worldwide have

studied engineering and technology courses that
we have designed and developed. And our
portfolio is growing. We offer:
level 2 and 3 City & Guilds Certificates

Higher National Certificates and Higher National
Diplomas at levels 4 and 5
13

After successfully completing a HND, you are

well placed to continue your education and may
consider studying for a degree. Teesside offers
BEng (Hons) and MEng (Hons) degrees in a
range of engineering disciplines, however these
are not currently available through open
learning.

Aston - MSc Professional Engineering
The concept behind MSc Professional Engineering was

developed by the Engineering Council (ECUK), the overall
regulator of the engineering profession in the UK, with UK
government support - please see www.engc.org.uk.
Aston has signed an agreement with ECUK establishing
Aston as a provider of an MSc Professional Engineering
course meeting ECUK expectations.
Major professional engineering institutions have signed an
agreement with the ECUK to recognise and support MSc
Professional Engineering courses.
22
For more information, see link:

23
Entry requirements
MSc Professional Engineering is suitable for people who aspire

to fully qualified professional engineer status (CEng) and are
already part way there, normally through a first or good second
class UK accredited honours degree at bachelors level (BEng
or BSc) supported by several years of employment experience
gaining practical competence and responsibility. We can also
accept people without an honours degree (eg qualified to
HND level) but with greater relevant experience.
Qualifications from outside the UK will also be considered.
24
Duration of programme: 2 to 5 years work-based

distance learning
Start date: October, January, April or July
Distance learning available: This programme is
work-based distance learning only.
Fees: [1 SGD$2]
UK/EU: 3,600 per year plus operational costs.

International students: 4,300 per year plus operational costs.
25
Professional accreditation
Successful completion of MSc Professional

Engineering combined with membership of a suitable
engineering institution guarantees access to the
institutions process for professional review for CEng
registration. Possession of the MSc will meet the
educational requirements for CEng. You will still
need to satisfy the institution about your practical
competences, but MSc Professional Engineering
study will help you with this.
26
Engineering Institutions
MSc Professional Engineering can be studied in any engineering area
taught at Aston covered by a signed-up engineering institution. Currently
this covers:
Computing:
British Computer Society (BCS)
Chemical Engineering:
Institution of Chemical Engineers (IChemE)
Design:
Institution of Engineering Designers (IED)

Online & Distance Education at UND
The University of North Dakota has a strong

history in distance learning, offering
correspondence by mail courses since 1911.
Today, more than 7,000 enroll in distance courses
each year.
With the University of North Dakotas
ABET-accredited distance engineering degree
program, you can earn your Bachelor of Science
in Engineering while you continue to live and
work in your local community.
40
Online & Distance Education at UND
The College of Engineering and Mines currently offers five of our

engineering degree programs (chemical, civil, electrical,
mechanical and petroleum) through a distance delivery mode called
our Distance Engineering Degree Program (DEDP).
Our DEDP delivery mode offers non-traditional engineering
students an opportunity to complete most of their undergraduate
degree coursework in our accredited undergraduate engineering
programs through the internet. Students are required to complete
their laboratory requirements through accelerated summer
courses at UND. Since our DEDP students experience the same
lectures and coursework requirements as our on campus students,
we consider this education experience to be essentially equivalent.
