The normal and maximum periods are 4 years and 6 years, respectively. Classes comprise lectures, tutorials, projects and laboratory sessions during weekdays from 7pm to 10pm. The number of classes a student has to attend per week will depend on the number of courses registered in each semester.
A typical module of 3 academic units AUs requires about 3 hours per week of formal contact hours which consist of 2-hour lecture and 1-hour tutorial. Generally, in order to graduate within 4 years, it is advised to follow the recommended schedule of completing the prescribed academic unit requirement as set out by the course curriculum. You are welcome to apply, and the school offering the programme will evaluate your application holistically.
Alternatively, you may write in to askpt ntu. You may apply as long as you are currently employed on a full-time basis. It would be preferred that you have at least 2 years of working experience by the time you enrol in the programme. For admission to part-time degree programmes, the working experience of the applicant is also taken into consideration in deciding the outcome. There are some important dates to take note for application to these programmes.
Please refer to the important dates for upcoming intake for latest updates. I took the part-time course in Mechanical Engineering. The biggest advantage of part-time as compared to full-time is that you can gain both working experience and knowledge at the same time.
Work, study and life balance will be a fun challenge. You will learn a lot, not only in terms of knowledge, but also independence, time management and task prioritisation while exploring the working world. Holding a degree in engineering definitely helped to improve my competitiveness in the market. The duration of classes and course structure, however, will vary depending on the institution you attend.
Lindsey Dickerson, a senior specialist of the office of academic and student affairs at the Ira A. Online students have to turn in the same assignments and take the same tests as campus students. Classes usually last 15 to 16 weeks, just like the average semester-long, in-person class. Meanwhile, students at Old Dominion University have access to both synchronous and asynchronous classes. Although these lectures are recorded and students can access them at their convenience, the school encourages students to attend the live sessions if they can, to promote engagement, and ask questions in real-time.
Classes at Old Dominion University are semester-length and, just like those at ASU, online students are required to complete the same assignments and take the same tests as on-campus students. As far as the experiential learning component goes, both universities offer virtual simulation labs. In the case of Old Dominion University, electrical engineering students have to demonstrate they can put together an analog or speed circuit using a kit provided by the school.
This is mainly due to the fact that most online students are also employed, so it is easier for them to take two classes at a time, instead of the four or five that the average campus student takes per semester. Engineering programs usually require an average of credit hours, but there are some, like those at Arizona State University, that only require credit hours for completion.
You also have to factor in other expenses, such as course materials, technology fees, registration fees, and application fees, in addition to the cost of SAT or ACT, if your school requires you to submit standardized test scores.
Some schools also offer discounted tuition rates for veterans and members of the military. The admission requirements for online engineering students are very similar — if not the same — as those for on-campus students.
Others, like the Oregon Institute of Technology , require students to complete several classes on campus before transitioning into their online engineering program. Well, for one, it can help you advance your career. You can also finish faster. Still, it can be hard to succeed while keeping up with a full-time job. Classes can be semesterly or quarterly, depending on the institution you attend.
Whereas, if you choose to attend an institution like Old Dominion University that divides its academic year into semesters, classes will last around 15 weeks and you could take up to three courses per semester. Gonzalez, from ODU, says that the average campus student graduates in 18 months, while online students can take three to four years to complete their degree. So, how exactly can you do that?
This is when taking an open course could be useful. You can also check out resources, like the Career Cornerstone Center , to find information about the different engineering concentrations, as well as details within each career path, to determine whether a particular field is right for you. If your engineering school allows you to do co-op for part-time studies, have you considered doing co-op on a full-time basis instead? When I did my engineering degree, co-op salary more than paid for my tuition.
It didn't make me rich. But it paid the bills. Completing your degree part time or taking over 4 years automatically disqualifies you from being hired at all companies. They will also be sorting resumes based upon age upon graduation, so you will be at the bottom of the priority list there or your resume will just possibly be tossed in the trash.
I work for an engineering firm as a project engineer and have been involved in student recruitment, as well as only leaving school a couple of years ago. Honestly, do as much school as you can, but don't kill yourself. My suggestion is to do a comfortable combination of school and work, then add a course to your load. Engineering is about learning how to learn. You need that pressure and stress in order to deal with regular working conditions, and the non-graded aspects of the programs team you how to manage.
I actually took a few years to work on a trade and became a technician. I'm only working as IT tech support for the moment as opposed to technician because it's more flexible in terms of allowing me to go to school while working. Dropped out. Tried again a second time, full course load, 21 hours of work I decided to try one more time and finally thought that maybe I should consider taking 2 classes for semesters You should put a disclaimer of sarcasm in your signature.
I got a 2yr technician diploma with an extra year of post-grad and after working a couple co-ops, a call centre, and small turnkey business, I finally got an entry level position willing to work around my goal of going to university. I dropped down to 1 course barely in time and I found that helped immensely to ease my transition into university. The next year, I was ready to go back to 3.
So, I've worked part-time ever since. I'm lucky though, in the sense that I have a partner who brings home a good salary. And on top of this, the only reply he thanks is Syne's! He only thanks someone who is over 30 years old and still an undergraduate, with no sight in end to being one, and has no idea what he's talking about!
