The nonresident Master of Engineering degree program in Space Operations employs a mixture of traditional and distance delivery methods. Nonresident classes combine local instructors, electronic communication, taped lectures, and Web-based interactive learning. The specific delivery mode varies by course and includes the following methods: (1) traditional type classroom environment with an instructor and weekly meetings, (2) video taped lectures with a class mentor and meetings every-other week to review lecture materials, to solve problems, to work on projects of local interest, and for group discussions, (3) video tape only with electronic-based discussions with an instructor in Colorado Springs. Classes meet in the early evenings at times convenient to work and family responsibilities.
