I have been approached by my employer to consider a Bachelor's in Engineering, instead of a PhD program in Business. For my company, that would be most advantagous. Before I start to research the programs, any site or information that I could be directed to would be great. Jonnie's website will be my first stop.
The program at the University of North Dakota is the only one I am aware that actually offers a legit ABET-accredited BS in Engineering. Seems fairly expensive for out-of-state people, though, without a reciprocity agreement. If your employer will pay for it, more power to you. University of North Dakota
Hello Kristie, I think all new learning is great but is this a step back or a holding pattern situation for you? Will the PHD serve you better in five years? Just curious...I would be bugging my daughter to get a PHD. This would not be for a bragging right. Hille
I guess this is a two fold: 1. I would like to get a PhD, but can't find one that meets my needs right now. 2. Why not keep my education going and get an Engineering degree, it would help my current employment and having a Marketing BA, MBA, and an Engineering BS could not hurt.
TESC-Applied Science BA Hi Kristie, I am wondering if the Applied Science option (TESC)with Engineering as a focus would be a viable option for you. I imagine you could make this happen in less then 6 months. I would check with Gary Rients on how the diploma is worded. Hille
Try the UHI Millenium Institue in Scotland thy offer a B.Sc in mechanical engineering http://www.uhi.ac.uk Roy Maybery
If you are still in the Sacotomates area you might want ot give Sac State a look for their evening and weekend courses. They do have a good engineering program, also look at the real UoP.
UC Davis also offers engineering degrees (although not by DL). An engineering degree will definately enhance your qualifications.
I looked at North Dakota two years ago, and found that they required some residency, which did not fit into my schedule. They did , however, note that they were attempting to create a totally DL engineering program, which may now be in place. I also found it to be fairly expensive. When I decided to complete my degree (after sixteen years) my first choice was engineering, which would be the ideal degree for my career. After extensive searching I gave up. The problem is that all engineering programs require quite a few lab courses, which were not all available as DL. Some schools are offering more DL lab courses, so that might be changing. In addition, because engineering is a professional degree, most schools expect you to primarily take their courses, many of which will not be available DL. I found all this about two years ago, so I hope it has changed now. If not, you might look into engineering technology degrees, which are more available, but less respected. Good luck.
A fully accredited BS in engineering is offered by ISU by DL. They have graduated DL BSEE students. At this time, the complete DL program is available only to students in Iowa (this may change). They are willing to make special arrangements to provide DL BSEE courses to students of other states. http://www.ede.iastate.edu/old_web/bsee.html Lee
