Bachelors Degree In Electrical Engineering ?
Q: I'm looking for a college that would do a Electrical Engineering Degree via
online. I'm currently waiting on Grantham College (www.grantham.edu),
Kennnedy-Western University (www.kw.edu), and Thomas Edison State
College(www.tesc.edu) to send me their information packages. Does anybody
have any info on any of these colleges, or used their services before? Or
perhaps someone out there can direct me to a college with a good
engineering program that is accredited unlike Kennedy-Western which someone
has already pointed out.
A:I would recommend that you contact the UK
Institution of Electrical Engineers if you wish to use your degree to
obtain professional membership and Chartered Engineer status (iee.org.uk)
before making a choice. They may also be able to advise you of a suitable
DL programme.
The title of an engineering degree makes a difference, at least in the
US
A: A Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering or Bachelor of Engineering degree is intended to prepare graduates for the pratice of electrical engineering at a professional level. A Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering Technology or similar title is intended to prepare graduates for a supporting role in electrical engineering. (Of course, some graduates of any program will achieve less than the program is trying to prepare them for, and some will go beyond what the program was preparing them for.) For the best acceptance of an American engineering degree, the institution should be regionally accredited and the engineering program should be accredited by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET). See their web site for more details (http://www.abet.ba.md.us/). I'm not aware of a distance program that is both regionally and ABET accredited. There is a bachelor of science in electrical engineering offered by a distance from the University of North Dakota. It requires that you (or the company you work for) be a member of their consortium. Anyway, check out their web page. Sorry
