Not to beat a dead horse but...
I see IEEE has teamed up with Drexel to offer a MS in Power systems. Being from the great white north, I am not too familiar with Drexel. Is it a good school? Seeing the IEEE stamped leads me to beleive it must hold some merit.

For the IEEE, (and i know because i'm a member), i can tell you that really and honestly it does not help in Anything. IEEE in academy is something quite different than purple book and 802 series. Read Spectrum online to see they now have their heads on one of Jupiter's moons, or was it Saturn! Besides,
The Only thing i think you will get is a free access to their technical library, but you can buy that for $35/month, but you really don't need it: so many articles are available from the authors or universities' websites.
The curriculum is not interesting at all. You will need the probability course for the telecommunications, so that's 3 credits down the drain in terms of learned material. I'd go for something like Sustainability, Renewable Energy, Environment, Micromachines ... Operations Research (II) and Project Management are really important though.
The good thing is that your degree will not show that you got it online.
In the end, if you're looking and you do have a choice, choose another.

Drexel is a good school and has been a leader in distance learning. It not only is teamed up with the IEEE but with other Engineering organizations like ASME, NSPE and ASCE.
