What to Expect in an Online Engineering Degree Program

[Insert Name]

Nah. Online classes, with a 2-4 year mandatory externship installing whatever type of systems you want to engineer.

Don’t mind me. I’m just the guy that has had to fix too many prints on the spot because a motor is inside a wall, or a valve can’t be opened because the stem is against another pipe, or a controller and a device use two different analog signals.

Sorry for the jokes, if not appropriate. The reality is most engineering is done remote anyway, and I have met more than a couple engineers who couldn’t work a multimeter, turn a wrench, or take a water sample. So I am not sure exactly what is being taught “hands on” that can’t be done through zoom, or simply “read the material.”
