A note about engineering technology courses:
- Engineering Technology courses may be offered in either traditional, hybrid, synchronous online or asynchronous online formats.
-
- Hybrid courses meet with the instructor either in person or online with at least 50% of the material presented online and attendance and class participation are required.
- Synchronous courses meet at a set time with the instructor through zoom, and attendance and class participation are required.
- Asynchronous courses do not meet with the instructor or other students and content is presented completely online.

Course Equivalency Credits
Many UAH Engineering Technology courses teach similar skills and knowledge that students may have acquired through previous Engineering, Science, Math, and/or Programming coursework. Credit for completion of courses identified as “equivalent” may be applied towards degree requirements.
Up to 34 hours of technical credit may be accepted as electives.
