    MSME online - Villanova

    Has anyone completed or currently enrolled in the MSME program from Villanova online? I am considering applying but I am not sure how difficult the classes will be.

    Questions regarding reuse of leaf spring suspension U-bolts

    Here in PA, anything bolted underneath a car usually has to be torched off and then replaced. The only fasteners I know need replaced are head bolts becuase they yield. Aside from that the cost to risk ratio usually tells me "Buy new Bolts". Most suspension kits come with new fasteners anyway...

    What the heck is Systems Engineeing?

    In my quest for grad schools, I have come across a few schools that offer a masters in systems engineering. I had never heard of it and figured it was a money making scheme and ignored it.

    Should I start studying engineering in my late 20s?

    I read a statistic that 1 in 8 engineering students is in their 30's. Engineering is one of the most common degrees that adults return to college for. When do you plan on retiring? if you have to work till you are 70, thats 37 years. You'll see a good ROI.

    I need some advice...

    I started my college career at a Community College, where I fell in love with 3D modeling. When I got accepted to Penn State Erie, I chose MET since it was more application based with the 3D modeling and computer simulation that I loved. All was well and good until I was a senior. I was told at...
