ATTENDANCE
This program will be delivered jointly by faculty from the College of Engineering at AꞌSharqiyah University and the Department of Engineering and Systems Engineering at the George Washington University in USA. The courses offered on this program constitute the George Washington University Master of Science degree program in Engineering Management in a blended format.
The program is the same program of George Washington University courses offered to students enrolled on the George Washington University campus in the United States of America and other George Washington University off-campus sites for the M.Sc. in Engineering Management degree.
The program consists of 12 courses totaling 36 credit hours. These 12 courses will be taught for students at the A’Sharqiyah University facilities in Ibra, Sultanate of Oman: 6 courses by synchronous distance learning and 6 courses onsite at A’Sharqiyah University.
The program is presented using a variety of modes of instruction. The underlying strategy for teaching and learning is the development and fostering of a supportive environment in which the students are systematically encouraged to take more responsibility for their own learning as they progress through the program. Topics are introduced so that a thorough grounding and understanding of the relevant theory is fostered. Basic initial concepts are presented and emphasis is then placed on problem solving strategies and applications. The emphasis of lectures, tutorials, seminars, case studies visits between various courses differs but in all cases an interactive environment is encouraged with student-centered learning being the norm.
On successful completion of the program, students will be awarded the degree of Master of Science in Engineering Management of George Washington University.
