越来越多的工程院系对通过远程教育提供课程感兴趣。这些学校面临着与远程教育相关的一些困难和问题：课程结构、与学生的沟通、课程材料的交付、考试的交付、认证、校内和校外学生之间的公平，尤其是实践培训的交付。在20世纪90年代初，迪肯大学在开始远程教育本科工程教学时也面临着同样的问题。它现在提供完整的工程学士学位，包括校园和校外模式，专业包括土木，机械，电气/电子和机电一体化。大约72%的学生是在校学生，28%是校外学生。迪肯大学获得了澳大利亚工程师协会的认可，并成为华盛顿协议的一部分，它适应了通信技术的进步和教育设计的变化。学校未来的发展方向包括强调以设计为导向、以项目为基础的学习和“翻转课堂”。因此，传统的校外和校内群体之间的差异正变得越来越模糊。
Increasing numbers of engineering departments are interested in offering their programs by distanceeducation. These schools grabble with several difficulties and issues associated with distance education:course structure, communication with students, delivery of course material, delivery of exams,accreditation, equity between on-campus and off-campus students, and especially the delivery ofpractical training.In the early 1990’s, Deakin University faced these same problems when it commenced teachingundergraduate engineering by distance education. It now offers a full Bachelor of Engineering degreein both on-campus and off-campus mode, with majors that include civil, mechanical,electrical/electronics, and mechatronics. Student cohorts are approximately 72% on-campus, 28% offcampus.Accredited by Engineers Australia and part of the Washington Accord, Deakin has adapted toadvances in communications technology and changes in education design. The future direction of theSchool includes an emphasis on design-oriented, project-based learning and “flipping the classroom”.As a result, differences between the more traditional off-campus and on-campus cohorts are becomingincreasingly blurred.
