Online Engineering Choice

[armstrongsubero]

@sanatone hmm so there is chance with an engineering technology degree or non-ABET? Then I will go for the COSC or AMU one cause the program seems really nice, thanks!

@dfrecore yes I know ET is not EE thats what caused my dilemma in the first place. I honestly wish I could do an engineering degree locally as it would be equivalent of RA and ABET at almost no cost (government pays tuition).The local engineering degrees are accredited by our local engineering boards as well as the Engineering Council in the UK, the Caribbean Accredation Council for Engineering and Technology CACET and are recognized by the canadian government. So it would be ideal as persons have gone on to be registered engineers all over the would with programs from UWI and UTT. But there are no online prgrams here worth doing, literally a handful from one place focused on education and social sciences. I work full time and I really cant spend 4-6 years going to school. I also may leave cause we are dependent on oil and gas and things aren't looking too good right now.

I would like to live in the US as first choice cause awesome compaines like Microchip Technology and TI exist there and there are a lot of embedded engineering and IoT jobs in the US, but getting an H1-B is like waiting for a lottery ticket. I have had a lot of people migrate to England and Canada and get residency much easier than the US cause we are a commonwealth country. I can also go to any caribbean Island I want to work becase of the CSME agreement. However I feel that these countries lag behind the US in tech, and there are less opportunities for jobs I want to do at the companies I one day hope to work at.
I understand ABET, but this whole RA vs NA thing is so senseless, especially to me where accreditation is done by the governnent basically and every program has accredation by the relevent professional bodies.

So I know it sounds loosey gooesy but I have no choice. I would love to work in the US but I learnt that its best not to put your eggs in one basket, so those are my backup plans. I really wish their was another way, but their isn't. I spent almost 8 years at a local college going to school part time, and still have 15 credits to finish for an associates degree in criminal justice from them. So schools like TESU and the american system is a dream come true for me, I can study after work and take exams really late from proctorU at low cost. Thanks for your advice as well.
