undergraduate electrical online degree

undergraduate electrical online degree

undergraduate electrical online degree

(OP)
Dear all,

I would like to continue my education,but my work condition do not allow me to go to campus, so I think I will enroll to "e distance learning program". after some search, its so much information, university that offer online learning. It got me confuse.
I have 3 years of intensive electrical  vocational training after 3 years finishing my electrical technical high school. I have 7 years field experinces (power system) with a supervision from a 35 years field experince engineer. He give an advise that it will easier for me to get his job if I go back to school and get my engineering degree.

Could some advise me the good online learning sites for electrical Power system.

Thanks

RE: undergraduate electrical online degree

I suggest contacting ABET www.abet.com to get a list of accredited programs.  I would be very suprised if accredited B.S. engineering degrees are available through distance learning.

RE: undergraduate electrical online degree

There are some ABET accredited online programs.  www.worldwidelearn.com has a good list of schools for many different disciplines.  Good luck!

RE: undergraduate electrical online degree

I realize these posts are relatively old, but...I have looked at www.worldwidelearn.com myself - but for an accredited MSEE program.  A guy with whom I work is working on his BSEE from a not-so-local university (same county - just on the other side of the same county).  A year or so ago the other engineers here in the lab and I were looking for distance programs for our MSEE program.  At the same time this guy working on his BSEE looked high and low for an ***accredited*** (keyword:  accredited) BSEE program.  There are very few accredited engineering schools offering a BSEE program.  The few engineering schools offering a distance BSEE program are very expensive ($1500 to $2000 per class) and there are special things you have to do...Try The University of North Dakota engineering school.

RE: undergraduate electrical online degree

I poked around to the more direct link:

http://www.worldwidelearn.com/degrees/electrical-e...

For whatever reason the vast majority are MSEE programs. I saw there one Associates and 2 bachelors. Here are the bachelors:

University of North Carolina at Charlotte
The University of North Carolina offers online a Bachelor of Science in Engineering Technology - Electrical degree completion program. Accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools and the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET).

University of North Dakota
University of North Dakota's Division of Continuing Education offers a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering through distance learning. The degree program provides instruction through videotaped lectures and on-campus labs. Accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET). University of North Dakota is accredited by the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools

I got my MSEE through distance learning at Georgia Tech and I felt like I had advantages over the on-campus students.  They showed up for lecture and watched the lecture and struggled to write down everything the instructor wrote.  Instructor wrote everything on some kind of slide device that recorded it.  We got a video of the lecture and exact copy of everything he wrote (from the slide device).  So we could focus on learning rather than just trying to keep up scribbling everything he wrote.  And if something didn't make sense, there is always the pause and rewind button on vcr.  Questions by e-mail or phone.  Homework/projects submitted and exams proctored just like everyone else.
