online degree in mechanical engineering vs regular?

January 25th, 2012

is an online degree in mechanincal engineering remotely comparable to a regular degree in mechanical engineering? what level of education do you need before you can start a course? how long would the course take?
would i be missing out on a lot of practical work this way? would that be a concern?

thank you for any answers ~
i cant go to university in person, so please offer suggestions.

An online bachelor’s degree in engineering will not be taken seriously by anyone. A bachelor’s in engineering without lab work is useless.

Do online degrees mean anything?

January 18th, 2012

I have been thinking of taking an online master engineering degree online but before I start is it official? like if I was to pass the course etc would I be able to use it as a official qualification?
I want to do an online degree because I am currently looking after my mother who is terminally ill and don’t have time to go to a brick and mortar school

absolutely, as long as the online college you plan to attend is completely legitimate. In fact…there are actual colleges and Universities that offer online degrees. You also may qualify for a scholarship of some sort because you’re taking care of a terminally ill parent. Do some research, call a few local colleges. I’m sure you’re not the only person whose ever faced this question…there has to be an answer that would meet your needs and still be considered Legit. Good luck!

Biomedical Engineering Degree online?

January 11th, 2012

I have spent the past two hours online looking for schools who offer this and have gotten nowhere. Does anyone know of an online program that offers a B.S. in Biomedical Engineering?

You will never find it. Too much "hands on" and lab time needed.

Graduate Schools and distance education?

January 6th, 2012

I asked this question here before but didn’t really receive any satisfactory answers.

I’m graduating soon and I’m looking into graduate schools, however because of financial and personal reasons I can’t move right now, and there are no graduate schools close to home. I’m hoping to get my Masters in English Literature (or really any kind of literature other than children’s literature).

If you know of any real, accredited Universities that offer distance education options for Master’s degrees please let me know. Also, please do not send me links to sketchy online schools like Devry and Phoenix, I want to go to attend a real graduate school.

Thanks in advance!
I want to attend a real graduate school *** sorry for the typo!

Try University of Maryland.
