    Seems Engineering DL graduate degrees are popping up everywhere...
    Lehigh U offer has a cool lineup as well as MTU, and even Mississippi State. Any one with experience in DL engineering programs/courses....
    Would like to know how many nights one need to stay up to finish up those calculus classes..........

    Masters degrees in engineering have been around for a while. ABET accredited undergrad DL engineering courses are the ones that are hard to come by. The only one I'm aware of is UND's program.

    Two of these institutions also offer DL doctorates in engineering.

    ahh calculus.

    remember you can knock out pre-reqs like calculus via other modes of DL like independent study. LSU has self paced calculus, which may help if you want a more flexible schedule......i.e. less sleepless nights :)

    I'm working on the pre-reqs for a MSEE, well, slowly in between working on my MS in management. Hopefully sometime before next century I'll be able to start the MSEE. :) I haven't decided on the school yet, but like you said; graduate DL engineering degrees are popping up everywhere. So by the time I'm ready there may be even more choices. Good luck!

    Post graduate degree like masters of engineering (ME) or Master of Technology (M Tech) is awarded after completion of two year full time study. There are various specializations offered at the bachelor’s level depending mainly on the rank received at the entrance examination. Admission in a Engineering colleges according to your choice also depending on the entrance exam rank.

    Stupid question but I always wondered if you're considered an engineer from your undergrad or master's?

    Either way. Traditionally, the usual professional degree for an engineer was an ABET-accredited BS degree, but a high percentage of engineers now supplement that with an MS. It's also possible to get an engineering MS without an engineering BS.

    For most purposes, the title of "engineer" is not regulated in the US. Anyone who wants to call themselves an "engineer" can do so, regardless of degree. There are probably English majors who have gone into Web design and call themselves "software engineers"

    In situations where engineering is practice is regulated -- typically involving infrastructure like buildings, roads, or utilities -- you need a state-issued "Professional Engineer" license, not a specific degree. States have varying education requirements for the PE license: an ABET BS degree always qualifies, MS degrees usually qualify; non-engineering degrees may also qualify with sufficient work experience. In the future, an MS degree may be required for licensure.

    At my school (where I teach) we offer the “Engineer” degree, in addition to master’s degrees and doctorate degrees in engineering. The Engineer degree is between a masters and a doctorate degree. At today’s graduation ceremony, we had two students receive the Engineer degree.

    Do you mean a Master of Engineering? as opposed to a Master of Science in (Electrical/Other) Engineering? What would be the difference? the former is more applied than the later?

    No, not a Master’s in Engineering (as opposed to a Master of Science in Engineering), but an Engineer degree. Our school offers two Engineer degrees, one in Mechanical and one in Aerospace. The Engineer degrees are higher level than a master’s, but lower than a doctorate.

    masters deg.

    Here is a link to our old reliable friend Wikipedia. Provides a pretty good break down on the subject.
