BS Mechanical Engineering

Edwards Finance > Mechanical Engineering

Q. I'm an engineering technician that specializes in material science (metallurgy and ceramics) I've been working in this field for about 11 years. I have some college (1983-1985) but my grades were not very good. Most of what I know in engineering was taught to me by a now retired engineer whom I worked for and consider to be my mentor. I live in Baltimore Md. and I'm interested in applying my work experiences toward a BS degree in engineering. Any readers of this NG that could offer suggestions in regards to a distance learning program would be appreciated.

A. -A few generic suggestions to follow, just to get you started. Hopefully more folks will chime in: Charter Oak State College -- http://www.cosc.edu Empire State College -- http://www.esc.edu Regents College (my alma mater) -- http://www.regents.edu Thomas Edison State College -- http://www.tesc.edu There should be plenty of regionally accredited options out there in your field -- if you'd like more suggestions, and other folks more knowledgeable in the field don't have any ideas, let me know and I'd be happy to find a few more. - Rochester Institute of Technology has a B.S. - Mechanical Engineering *Technology* available via distance learning. This program has a residency requirement consisting of a handful of on-campus weekend labs. The tuition is really quite high compared to the other programs that Tom cited (e.g. Regents, TESC, COSC). Federal financial aid is available at RIT (including scholarships and grants). http://distancelearning.rit.edu/BSEM.html If you ever decide to pursue graduate study, the University of Idaho has a solid Master's program in mechanical engineering (as well as a variety of other disciplines). The only residency requirement for this program is the oral comprehensive final exam. Federal financial aid is available for this one as well. http://www.uidaho.edu/evo/newhtml/progrms.html
