Already have one. I guess I just can't stay away! With a full time engineering job and family, I am looking for online stuff.

There's a reason you won't find one online.

I've been looking myself. The best I can find is a Master's of Engineering online through University of Illinois Chicago (might apply to that one), but its more for the electromagnetics side rather than the mechanics side. But I haven't found one for pure physics.
