Where can engineers and engineering companies meet?
The answer is as simple and easy as the solution.

The greatest challenge that engineers and engineering companies face is meeting each other. The challenge is increased by recent economic changes. Many engineering companies are unable to hire, and when they do offer jobs, they want the very best candidates available. Many engineers find it difficult to find companies that are offering the jobs at which they are most qualified. What is more crucial is finding an avenue by which the all important meeting can take place in an engineering specific environment. Moreover, within the meeting environment, there should be a combination of simplicity and expansibility. What does this mean?

The internet is filled with web sites that are over blown with information, often leading many visitors to exasperation. In addition, many web sites lack critical, modern tools to facilitate the meeting of engineer with engineering company. Therefore it only makes sense to focus our attention on these two significant factors: simplicity and expansibility. Simplicity is elegant, and in practical terms it equates with ease of understanding and ease of use. An engineer or an engineering company usually wants to execute a plan with minimal obstacles. If a web site is going to provide an optimal meeting place for both, then it must embrace simplicity. Every aspect of the web site must function to this end. Simplicity is efficient. Today’s world seeks efficiency for obvious reasons. So how then does the other critical characteristic of a meeting web site, expansibility, correlate with simplicity?

When an engineer or engineering company takes the first step to engage each other and meet, both hope for the optimal, wide reaching, and numerous pathways. The new age is increasingly connected. The more strands that are created, the wider ones reach is on the web. With enough strands, the web becomes a personal network. Within such a well connected and networked environment, one may meet innumerable opportunities. An engineer or an engineering company seeking to find each other naturally wants every option to facilitate the meeting. It is in this context that expansibility is understood.

Where is it possible to find a meeting place where one can find these two most critical elements? A new web site that achieves this is EngineerNexus.com. Both engineers and engineering companies have at their disposal the most simplistic tools and operating functions available on the web. EngineerNexus.com is designed to maximize ease of use while providing the most important functions for developing relationships. In short, EngineerNexus.com is the most highly organized and easy to understand and use design on the web. The other key feature, expansibility, is created by numerous pathways for engineers to meet engineering companies. Engineernexus.com is not a stand alone site, but rather a tightly linked nexus that provides all its visitors every opportunity to make meaningful and valuable connections.

The founders of EngineerNexus.com understand that the world needs to simplify methods while expanding relevant connections, a concept that leads to lean business practices and prosperity for everyone, thus they designed an engineering career site to meet this modern need. EngineerNexus.com is taking the lead and setting the standards for creating future engineering relationships. Moreover, Engineernexus.com is fully comprehensive, it includes in its data base a place for engineers of all types. Engineers from every field of this honorable discipline, from the most prevalent engineering fields to the most obscure niches can find a place to meet and connect their peers at EngineerNexus.com.

Distance Learning Engineering can Make You a Real Engineer!

thub — Thu, 30 Sep 2010 15:30:10 +0000

Distance learning engineering is nowadays offered by more and more universities, colleges, and polytechnic institutes, thanks to breakthroughs in course delivery like the internet, virtual labs, instructional design, and interactive content.

What it Involves

Distance learning engineering mainly involves taking either a BS or BE in any of the engineering branches; a BS in Engineering Technology; an MS or ME in any engineering branch or its specialization; or a PhD in a specialization of an engineering branch; through the online or distance mode.

While accredited MS and ME degrees are available for most engineering branches and their specializations, from many universities, accredited BS and BE degrees through distance learning engineering are offered only by a lesser number of institutions. Also, distance learning engineering for undergraduate degrees offers only fewer engineering branches as majors. It is more common to find among bachelor degrees branches like computer science/engineering, electrical engineering, environmental engineering, and quality control/assurance. In many other branches, aspirants will have to opt for a hybrid program with some element of on-campus study during evenings or holidays. However, many universities offer BS degree completion programs in many branches, through distance learning engineering, which means that you need to have prior experience and credits from some other undergraduate engineering program.

However, BS degrees in engineering technology through distance learning engineering are widely available.

Why Engineering?

Engineering is one of the most attractive professions due to the huge demand in the job market, high starting salaries, enormous scope for specialization, and the requirement of only a bachelor’s degree to scale even the heights of this profession. With more than 1.2 million engineers working in the field, it is the USA’s second-largest profession, and provides starting salaries to the tune of US $50,000 per annum to fresh engineers with just bachelors degrees. No wonder, each year, 100,000 new students enroll for engineering courses, in the USA.

Why Distance Learning Engineering?

Universities and colleges nowadays use the latest course delivery methods like the internet, streaming video, video conferencing, virtual labs, instructional design, interactive content, CD, video tapes, on-the-job training, etc, to create a rich experience, which comes close if not being better than a real engineering campus. Most universities also don’t differentiate between their regular engineering degrees and distance learning engineering degrees, making it a viable option for those who can’t accommodate a regular course into their schedule.

Universities, Colleges and Courses for Distance Learning Engineering

BS, MS, and PhD degrees in various branches of engineering are nowadays available under this delivery model. Also available are specialized certificate courses and 2-year associate degrees.

It is always better to go for an accredited course, the best accreditation being that of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET). But finding and getting admitted to an ABET accredited distance learning engineering course will not be very easy, as, even in regular engineering education, only 15% of the Universities and Colleges have at least one undergraduate engineering course accredited by ABET.

Also, ABET accreditation is not the only criterion to look for. Many prestigious universities, colleges, and polytechnic institutes offer courses that are highly regarded by the industry and the academic world, but which are still not accredited by ABET.

One of the universities offering ABET accredited courses through distance education is University of North Dakota. UND has four ABET accredited BS degrees in engineering – chemical, civil, electrical, and mechanical. The format of course delivery is online. But, generally speaking, ABET accredited courses tend to be hybrid courses with some element of on-campus study.

California National University for Advanced Studies offers a BS in Engineering with electives being computer engineering, computer science, electrical engineering, environmental engineering, mechanical engineering, and quality assurance science.

Kennedy-Western University offers Bachelor degrees in computer science, electrical engineering, environmental engineering, and quality control.

Kansas State University offers an MS in chemical, civil, electrical, and mechanical branches, with course delivery through internet, video, and CD. North Carolina State University offers an MS in chemical, civil, and mechanical engineering. The course delivery is over video. University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and Iowa State University both offer MS degrees in electrical and mechanical branches. While University of Illinois exclusively uses the internet for delivery, University of Iowa uses a combination of streaming video over the internet, CD, and video tape. University of Tennessee offers MS in civil engineering, for which the delivery is through the internet.

University of Illinois, Iowa State University, University of Tennessee, and Worcester Polytechnic Institute are some of the institutions offering specialized Graduate Certificate Courses through distance learning engineering, while North Carolina State University offers undergraduate level Certificate Courses through this mode.
