Q. I'm looking for a college that would do a Electrical Engineering Degree via online. I'm currently waiting on Grantham College (www.grantham.edu), Kennnedy-Western University (www.kw.edu), and Thomas Edison State College(www.tesc.edu) to send me their information packages. Does anybody have any info on any of these colleges, or used their services before? Or perhaps someone out there can direct me to a college with a good engineering program that is accredited unlike Kennedy-Western which someone has already pointed out. Any info would greatly be appreciated.

A. -Given your UK site address, I would recommend that you contact the UK Institution of Electrical Engineers if you wish to use your degree to obtain professional membership and Chartered Engineer status (iee.org.uk) before making a choice. They may also be able to advise you of a suitable DL programme. -The title of an engineering degree makes a difference, at least in the USA. A Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering or Bachelor of Engineering degree is intended to prepare graduates for the pratice of electrical engineering at a professional level. A Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering Technology or similar title is intended to prepare graduates for a supporting role in electrical engineering. (Of course, some graduates of any program will achieve less than the program is trying to prepare them for, and some will go beyond what the program was preparing them for.) For the best acceptance of an American engineering degree, the institution should be regionally accredited and the engineering program should be accredited by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET). See their web site for more details (http://www.abet.ba.md.us/). I'm not aware of a distance program that is both regionally and ABET accredited. -There is a bachelor of science in electrical engineering offered by a distance from the University of North Dakota. It requires that you (or the company you work for) be a member of their consortium. Anyway, check out their web page. Sorry I don't have the address on me. Let me emphasize that this is an actual ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING degree and not an electrical engineering technology degree. This program is accredited through ABET and of course UND is accredited through whatever regional accrediting body for that area of the US. They have two different options. One takes about 3 years and the the other takes about 6 years. Both options assume that you have all of your prerequisite math, science, and liberal arts out of the way. The only classes you take through them are the actual engineering classes. You also have to fly to the campus in the summers (I believe for one week each summer) for labs. The University of Minnesota had a program for about 1 year but they didn't have enough people who were interested in it to keep it alive so they terminated theirs. Good luck and I hope this helps.
