Grad School Choices
Grad School Choices
(OP)
My current company will pay for me to get my masters degree, but it can't interfere with my work.
I am in Houston, so that leaves me with night classes at U of Houston or Rice
or
Something on line.
I want to get a Masters in Mechanical Engineering, probably in Mechanics or Machine Design. I know there are things like University of Phoenix, but I don't know if a degree for there would be worth anything.
Any advice on some reputable schools that offer Engineering MS degrees on line?
Anyone had any experience with this?

- Distance Learning is rapidly moving into the mainstream,
- every major university has some number of programs (MSME is available from hundreds of schools), and
- several eng-tips.com members have gotten undergraduate and graduate degrees from Distance Learning programs and haven't seen any noticable downgrading of the value of those problems by potential employeers.
For MS programs this seems very viable, PhD programs are still a bit scarce and the coverage typically doesn't include ME programs.David

As stated, this has been discussed many times before so most of your questions have probably already been answered already. If you have a very specific question go ahead and ask it, though.

I'm a graduate student at the University of Washington. They offer on-line MS in Mecanical Engineering and another MS in Aersopace Engineering.
Another popular choice is the University of Southern California.
There are others out there as well. Go down to a local libarry and find a book called the Pedersons (sp) Guide to Distance Education. It's a listing of all distance education programs and classes all over the US. It will list every on-line engineering program you can do.
Good luck! It's well worth taking advantage of that kind of program.
