The UIC College of Engineering has developed a Master of Engineering (MEng) degree program to be offered both on campus and through the Internet. The MEng is a professional degree based exclusively on course work, without a research component (no project or thesis) and without departmental affiliation. The program will be administered directly by the UIC College of Engineering. This program is fully approved by the Illinois Board of Higher Education.

Requirements for UIC College of
Engineering Videoconference Connectivity
The UIC College of Engineering is equipped
with a PictureTel (codec) videoconferencing system. The system is standards based
H.320. This allows compatibility with most makes of codecs manufactured after
1994. Older codecs probably would work but must be tested first. However, it is
recommended that all videoconference calls be tested prior to actual call date.
Types of calls
Videoconference calls can be made using
2, 4, or 6 ISDN channels. 6 channels provide the best (30 fps) full motion video
quality.
System Compatibility
Remote Site/s will need any make videoconferencing
system. It is best if these systems conform to the H.320 Communication Standard.
It is likely that these systems would be on-line with ISDN service.
