Bachelors is general and masters is specific. Masters I chose a specific field within Electrical Engineering. For example in undergrad(bachelors) I learned to design amplifiers from transistors, however there are a lot of limitations that were not considered...now I am designing circuits for microwaves...it’s like designing a car with a Max speed of 20 mph vs 200 mph ...very different techniques.

Now for my masters. I never considered online for my bachelors.

Yes I took the GRE and had letters of req but due to the pandemic I didn’t actually need them. They were waived. I applied right when the shutdown was about to start, back in Feb/March of 2020. It was still considered on campus.

Hello, I’m in the same situation as you. I’m working full time and looking to get an engineering degree online. I’m curious what school you ended up enrolling in?

@@dylantroche8424 hello there. Still haven’t started. My tech school was 8 months long and now I have been working my actual job but I’m not qualified fully. I have to be fully qualified in my job before I can start using the tuition assistance. But so far I plan to study aeronautics with embry riddle university online. Hope it helps

I'm in the same situation. Have you found any helpful videos or blogs from people taking the same path as you?

@@rancid7182I enrolled in the University of North Dakota. They have distance learning engineering programs that are ABET accredited.

So, I was in the same boat but just left active duty after 5 years and became a Reservist. Everyone’s situation is different. I achieved my Bachelor’s in applied management while active duty and took 2 classes at a time. You will run out of your Tuition Assistance quickly doing that but use it still. So you will have to dig into your post-911 GI bill once you gain full access to it. You have to serve a certain amount of time to earn your % of the GI bill. A lot of people don’t recommend using your GI bill until you’re out of the service and can use your full benefit, meaning they pay you BAH to go to school when you’re not active duty. Sorry that this isn’t a very structured response. Now that I’m out and working full time elsewhere, I am going to work on my mechanical engineering degree I started in 2015, this time online. IF I were you, I would take one class at a time using your Tuition Assistance ($4,500 per year, $250 per credit) and start as soon as your leadership/supervisor lets you. I regret waiting a couple years before I started. Of course, this is assuming your college will let you do one at a time. Once you get comfortable with it and make enough to cover classes out of pocket or with your post-911 GI bill, I would start to take two at a time. You won’t have a life and if you’re married or will have a significant other, it will be hard on them as engineering and school in general takes up all of your free time when you’re not working.

CSUN!

The overall idea is the same for electronic and electrical systems. The difference is power and frequency. But the behavior is understood in a similar way.

zoom sucks

Don’t use too much math, advanced algebra is mostly what I use.

@@RelearnMath really I love maths and I'm doing a degree in it. Do you think applied or pure math is better. I like both but can't make my mind up
