For the pilot program, three SAE International instructors will present a course at a MicroTek facility in El Segundo, CA that combines both in-class and remote participants. Virtual students will have the ability to interact both with the instructor and fellow in-class students as if they were physically in the classroom.

"The virtual classroom is the next logical step in our efforts to provide easy-to-access, efficient, and cost-effective learning options for today's engineering professionals," said Kevin Perry, EdD, Director of Professional Development for SAE International. "We are pleased to be partnering with MicroTek, a leader in this learning technology."
