re: Opinions of online Mechanical Engineering degree

One of the above posters gave a good warning about expenses. I had considered getting an online degree in engineering. However what paused my efforts was noting the expenses of the schools you mentioned.

That being said, it is worth it to go back to school to obtained an engineering degree (like what I am doing now). In my case, I went to graduate school, so I am spending at least $20,000 a year in debt.

So I would make sure that you can handle the expenses. As for the notoriety of the degree, as long as its ABET it will be okay. That is what I search for when I decided to apply for engineering programs.
