Onsite Teaching

Teaching is equally important as research at the Alexanderia Research Institute. Its faculty and staff provide graduate courses at Alexandria and at the NVC Campus in Falls Church . Some courses are available through a real-time interactive video-conferencing system managed by the Institute for Distance and Distributed Learning (IDDL) while others are availble online via the Virginia Tech Blackboard website.

Together, the ARI and the Northern Virginia Center offer graduate degree programs in Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE), Computer Science (CS), Industrial and Systems Engineering (ISE) and Civil Engineering (CE).

Courses Offered at ARI
ARI's VTEL classroom hosts live video courses from the Blacksburg campus as well as form remote and satellite locations. The VTEL room also hosts final examinations, thesis defenses and dissertations by students studying at the Northern Virginia campus.

Courses Offered at the Northern Virginia Center (NVC)
ARI faculty together with other College of Engineering counterparts provide courses at the College of Engineering Northern Virginia Division in Falls Church. Courses are offered live as well as via broadcast and online blackboard. Students and faculty often commute between the two centers to go to classes as well as to work on research projects.
