Hi Everybody, I would like to pursue my bachelors degree in BS Engineering Course offered online. My Details are as below: 1. Professional Experience: 10 Years 2. Highest Qualification: Diploma in Electronics & Telecomm. Engg. 3. Nationality: Indian 4. Place: Abu Dhabi, UAE Can someone suggest some good university that will be provided recognised BS Engineering degree.... It can be in field related Telecomm., Networking, Electronics. Thanks, Surjit Singh.
Distance Engineering Degrees There are very few engineering degrees offered online that are fully accredited by ABET/EAC in the United States. The University of North Dakota is the best online program. I invite you to visit my website to see additional information. http://www.angelfire.com/de3/electronicbsdegree/
Yes, you're right. For a B.S. in Engineering, it may be helpful to use the USNews e-learning search function. However, the results I got were very small and included a "test" school: California State University--Dominguez Hills Michigan Technological University National University New Jersey Institute of Technology Northcentral Universtity Pennsylvania State University--University Park Test School (ha!) Thomas Edison State College University of North Texas University of South Alabama
Graduate Degrees Yes, the US news site is listing graduate degrees. There are very few online Bachelors degrees because the ABET/EAC accreditation requires lab work that is difficult to do by distance education. However, my question has never been properly answered by anyone. If other countries can offer on-line engineering undergraduate programs then why can't we? Australia universities have very high standards and they are a leader in this form of engineering education. Why don't we copy them?
Daniel Allen, I just checked the first three universities on your list and they do not offer Undergraduate Degrees in engineering to my knowledge. California State University--Dominguez Hills Michigan Technological University National University You may wish to double check your list with the exception of Thomas Edison State College. The University of North Texas program is not open to the public the last time I checked.
OK. For the search I used, I did not specify the type of engineering. For a B.S. in "Electrical, Electronics, and Communications Engineering," I got these results, which may or may be correct: Pace University (Telecommunications) Rochester Institute of Technology Test School (ha!) Thomas Edison State College University of Maryland--College Park University of North Dakota University of North Texas (disregard unless you are in Texas, I guess)
And the University of Maryland's undergrad distance ed. program is only for "Fire Protection Engineering," so Laser200's suggestion of going with the University of North Dakota would be difficult to argue against.
DL engineering in Australia: just like ABET ? Actually, the Australian position on DL engineering programs appears to be basically the same as ABET/EAC's. The "Engineers Australia Policy on Accreditation of Programs Offered in Distance Mode" can be easily found by Google search (I was unable to link to it directly). The current policy includes the following points: But not programs that are entirely DL. So...Engineers Australia will accredit engineering programs that are "partly or principally in distance mode", but only if they also include "a number of on-campus components". For comparison, ABET/EAC will also accredit DL engineering programs, as long as they include on-campus laboratories. There really doesn't seem to be any significant difference.
