Fall 2010: Michigan Tech Hybrid Electric Drive Vehicle Courses
Fall Semester: August 30 – December 17, 2010
The Engineering Society of Detroit has partnered with Michigan Technological University to make ESD’s headquarters a satellite location for distance learning students enrolled in Michigan Tech courses for the following Hybrid Electric Drive Vehicle (HEDV) programs: Professional Certification of Completion (9 credits), Graduate Certificate Degree of Completion (15 credits), or the Professional Master’s Degree program (30 credits).
Funding for transitional workers will not be available this semester. Students may be eligible for tuition reimbursement through their employers or DELEG. Contact your human resources department for more details.
