I'm sure there are many out there like me. I have scoured the internet for online engineering programs, stumbled on ASU, and hemmed and hawed for over a year on it. Background: I took online and night classes at a different university and have my B.S. in Business Management, which got me a job...

Thanks, etudiant. I'm lucky in the fact that there are several skilled and continual-improvement-minded operators I can work with. It wouldn't be hard to get them on board. The others (majority) are fairly set in their ways and feel management already asks for too much paperwork (we're FDA...

Thanks for the reply! We started gathering some settings data, but our problem is we don't have procedures for changing settings. One operator may choose to increase pressure while a different operator may think changing temperature would be the first choice. Additionally, I'm not even sure...

Brand spanking new to the forum. Registered just to ask this question... We have a machine at work that has the following parameters: tempurature pressure time This machine machine processes a prodcut that has two properties: quantity stiffnes shade (Not really sure if the shade...

No. Due to location, I only have one CC, and one university I can attend. I know I "could" find others to go to, but for my situation, these are what I have to work with, so I will make them work for what I want to get out of them. The highest level math offered at the CC is precalc. I...

Hello! And good luck to you at basic! What MOS are you enlisting into? By MOS, I mean what military occupation? Do you know if you will need a security clearance? If so, classified, secret, or top secret? A security clearance can be a large help in finding jobs with the DOD after your...

Thanks again everyone! I appreciate all the help. Semper Fi to you as well! I contacted the university. Head of the physics department told me that algebra based physics I and II at the CC would be sufficient to satisfy only physics I at the university. I was a little upset to hear that...

Wow! Thank you all for all the advice and info! The GI Bill has been revamped, for 2009. It is now called the Post 9/11 GI Bill. Many things changed, including the dealine of degree completion. It is now extended to 15 years. I used to hate the way it is set up. Now, with many new...

Personally, I would go for it. I'm in a similar situation (see post about "Engineer" quitting). In this economy, I do not see much room for advancement in most situations, in most industries. At least not for a couple years. Why not remove yourself from the rat race of work, for now, and...

Already an "Engineer": quitting for school, need help! Hello everyone! So here's my background and question: 27 years old - no college degree Highest level math: HS Trig / College Algebra (both over 5 years ago) Highest science: HS Physical Science (not physics) over 10 years ago 5...
