Detailed information on specific research programs may be obtained from the appropriate center office or the relevant engineering department, or see: http://www.engr.udel.edu.

Professional Engineering Outreach

The College also meets the needs of practicing engineers who wish to further their education. The Professional Engineering Outreach program facilitates professionally convenient graduate education by scheduling classes in the late day, evening, or distance format. Part-time non-degree graduate students can take courses through Professional Engineering Outreach, and these courses may be applied to a traditional or non-thesis graduate engineering degree upon regular admission to the graduate program. Detailed information about the Professional Engineering Outreach Program may be obtained by visiting our web site or by calling (302) 831-8302.
