online masters for chemical engineers 4

[dude19]

I am located in the northeast and am on the fence with grad school. The local schools I could attend would be like Villanova, Drexel, University of Delaware, or Rowan.

I have also been looking for online programs and have found USC, Columbia, Lehigh, and Stanford.

What is the general outlook on advanced degrees. It seems like the poor job market is going to keep new grads in school for more advanced degrees.

Would it be better to pick an online big name school that will look weird on my resume or just do a local masters program?

haha....well I guess when someone "has" experienced both types of M.Sc. one can talk.......
Otherwise its a waste of time.

jpankask,

You are right that a lot of my frustration was from being in a 700 level course. I tried to highlight that in my post so that people understood some of my complaints. When did you get your MS from K-state. We may have been in that online class together. It was Intermediate Fluid Mechanics (I think I said dynamics above) MNE 720. I think I took it in the fall of '05 and graduated in the spring of '06.

Kirby,
I finished up my classes in fall '04, but didn't officially "graduate" until spring '05 due to having my Master's report completed and signed off by my committee. I didn't take 720, my concentration was more on thermodynamics and I took a few management-type classes from the IMSE department.
