Major: Engineering Department (This Major's Salary over time)
I'm in the online engineering masters programs offered through the Engineers for Professionals (EP) program. So far (6 courses into it) I would say that the quality of courses has been generally excellent, in terms of what I have learned. The on-line environment can be challenging. There is a lot more work involved than face-to-face. There is a relatively high turnover in the classes. On average, I would say that for every course I've been in which started with 20 students, there are 10 to 15 remaining in the course after the first few weeks. It's not for everyone and is very time consuming. However, I think it works very well - I have come away from each course feeling like I got a lot more out of it than most undergraduate engineering courses I ever had. Just don't be looking for world-class lectures… most courses are reading-based only, with a few courses having sort-of decent lectures in the form of narrated powerpoints.
