Online Courses
(OP)
I have more than enough free time than would be sane to tell my boss at my current internship.
I came accross this site: http://www.pdhonline.org/
For Engineering Continuing education online.
1. How is online education viewed as opposed to in class education?
2/ How is personal education viewed as opposed to taking courses for credit?
3. Is a business education any good for a Mech Eng?

Don't forget - for some states (New York) you must have "live" courses which PDH does by using "gotomeeting" and phone connections.
Sure "live" classes might be better - but then you have to drive or fly, buy lunch, etc.
I can take PDH courses at night, weekends or any time. Best of ALL - I can go at my speed. The courses in which I have some expertise go faster and I don't have sit and listen to some boring instructor.

As said - you might have to "go in" to get the lab courses. I think my old Alama Matre has some BS courses - Try University of Missouri.

RE: Online Courses
Completely unrelated post.
Is there any particular reason you post your computer specs as your signature?
RE: Online Courses
A lot of people on Anandtech used to do that. Some still do. I don't know either.

RE: Online Courses
As I said this info is out of date. I don't know if this program still exists, and I don't know if other ABET accredited schools have created any similar programs.
I guess the bottom line is that ABET accredited schools for an online engineering degree were as rare as hen's teeth ten years ago, and I don't know that they are more plentiful now.
RE: Online Courses
Sorry for the confusion.
