EXPLORE Energy- Distance Learning

Starting in 2004 the Department of Energy Technology launched a pilot project by offering the entire 120 credit SEE MSc Program in distance mode. Originally designated DSEE, the first couple of years involved a handful of students located in Uganda and Ethiopia who followed the SEE Program via recordings of ongoing KTH-campus lecturing, teacher-student interaction via e-mail and telephone, and certain facilitator-led activities. In 2006 scholarship support was obtained from Stiftelsen Futura, opening up the program to 40 students in Africa. Soon afterward the Swedish International Development Agency (SIDA) approved a significant grant that doubled the number of scholarship awardees and provided financing for computer equipment, staff travel, and other activities. In parallel universities in Sri Lanka, Colombia, Mexico and Mauritius were included in the consortium.
Today over 500 students at 14 sites outside Sweden are a part of SEE Worldwide, and lectures are followed on the Internet in real-time or asynchronously.
