Thread: Mechanical Engineering School (DL)

Does anyone know of a school with a Mechanical Engineering program similar to Century University? I'm pretty sure Century's tuition will increase once they're DETC accredited and I'd like to look into a backup school. (100% DL)

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

Also, does anyone have an idea of how much the tuition typically increases (quantitatively) and how long after accreditation this tuition increase should be expected?

	Engineering Degrees Engineering Degrees Engineers apply the principles of science and mathematics to develop economical solutions to technical problems. Their work is the link between scientific discoveries and the commercial applications that meet societal and consumer needs. Many engineers develop new products. During the process, they consider several factors. For example, in developing an industrial robot, engineers specify the functional requirements precisely; design and test the robot's components; integrate the components to produce the final design; and evaluate the design's overall effectiveness, cost, reliability, and safety. In addition to their involvement in design and development, many engineers work in testing, production, or maintenance. These engineers supervise production in factories, determine the causes of a component’s failure, and test manufactured products to maintain quality. They also estimate the time and cost required to complete projects. •Starting salaries are among the highest of all college graduates. •Employment is projected to grow faster than the average for all occupations, although growth will vary by specialty; overall job opportunities for engineers are expected to be good. •A bachelor's degree in engineering is required for most entry-level jobs, but some positions may require a graduate degree.

Greetings.

If you're really, really, sure that DETC accreditation is good enough for you & your engineering degree, you may wish to visit http://www.cnuas.edu/.

If you come to your senses <g>, and if you've cash to burn (or not, depending upon your location), and if you're willing to "vacation" in North Dakota, you may wish to visit http://gocubs.conted.und.nodak.edu/dist_engr/.

Note that neither of the above links should be construed as a recommendation: I am merely bringing both schools to your attention.

Good luck!


Cordially,
