Why should civil engineers study basic electrical engineering?

It's been about 60 years since I was in engineering school but at that time civil engineers were not required to take any electrical engineering courses.


What online schools offer engineering programs?

The cost for online classes varies from school to school. There are many schools that offer online engineering classes. The best rated school is engineeringonline.ncsu.edu.


The Types of Degree Programs offered by an Online Engineering School?

Despite the fact that engineering is a rather practical subject, online engineering schools are fairly common and presently offer associate degrees, bachelor’s degrees and master’s degrees online. As for any type of online school, accreditation is extremely important for an online engineering school as, without it, the school’s students run the risk of their degree not being recognized by professional engineering bodies. A student who is about to sign up for a course at any online school of engineering should therefore check whether the school is accredited - and, if so, by which associations - before signing on the dotted line. Online engineering schools can be accredited by professional associations like The Higher Learning Commission and the Engineering Accreditation Commission of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology. Online associate engineering degrees include the Associate Degree in Civil Engineering Technology and the Associate Degree in Electrical Engineering Technology, both of which are offered by Penn Foster College. Eligibility requirements for these types of programs are extremely non-specific, but students who wish to study engineering in any form should have at a high school diploma with math and science. The online bachelor’s degrees in engineering are represented by DeVry University’s Bachelor in Electronics Engineering Technology as well as Ashford University’s Bachelor of Arts in Organizational Management: Engineering Studies. As far as the eligibility requirements for the online bachelor’s degrees in engineering are concerned, some schools post age limits and some schools post educational requirements like holding a high school diploma or meeting certain reading and writing proficiency standards. The highest level of online engineering degrees available at present are the master’s degrees, and examples of these programs include the Master of Civil Engineering as offered by Norwich University and the Master of Science Engineering: Materials Science and Engineering as offered by Arizona State University. Students must comply with strict eligibility requirements in order to be able to register for these degree programs, and such requirements could include having a BA in engineering from an accredited school and holding a B (or higher) average. Online engineering schools are extremely worthwhile and offer viable alternatives to students who cannot afford full tuition fees.


How you learn to draw hydraulic circuits?

You go to an engineering school or college and take a course in Engineering Drawing.


How do you become a successful engineer?

Before you do anything else, you should try to get into the best school you can that specializes in engineering and graduate with a degree in engineering. Good schools for engineering include the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Stanford University, the University of California-Berkeley, the University of Michigan and the Georgia Institute of Technology. After you graduate, or even during your final semester of school, you should seek out an expert in the field who you can work with and learn from, perhaps through an internship. At that point, your chances of securing employment as a successful engineer should be very good.
