Reaching across the state: WSU offers engineering degree in Bremerton
August 26th, 2010
ME 303 Fluid Mechanics is a cooperative course taught via telecom-
munications to WSU, University of Idaho and Olympic College, Bremer-
ton, students. Konstantin Matveev, of the WSU School of Mechanical
and Materials Engineering, is shown teaching the class in the Electri-
cal/Mechanical Engineering Building on the Pullman campus.

From the Kitsap Sun newspaper BREMERTON - For the first time ever, 15 students recently sat down at desks at Olympic College to earn bachelor degrees in mechanical engineering from Washington State University. The new offering is a crowning achievement for OC, which has added a second four-year degree attainable in Kitsap County - a nursing degree was the first. Its also a milestone for the local military community hungry for mechanical engineers. The program often piggybacks on an associate of science degree and is taught mostly by WSU professor Marvin Pitts, whos just relocated here. But much of it is through interactive television, taught by WSU engineering professors juggling a class full of students at the same time in Pullman. Professor Konstantin Matveev of WSU kicked off the day with a rousing lecture on fluid mechanics. Bremerton students took notes as he spoke out of a large-screen television. A technician was in the classroom, deftly handling all the things that had to go right. Matveev has the same TV screen in his Pullman classroom, with a small inset of the Bremerton students. The main challenge will be to encourage them to ask questions, he said of his students 288 miles away. If somebody raises a hand, I might not notice. WSU is planning on expanding its interactive TV class offerings and has had engineering classrooms torn up to expand the technology. The OC program is a pilot. If its successful, and it certainly has all the earmarks, they want to expand that to other community colleges, said Judi Brown, an OC dean who oversees engineering.
