Currently I'm in talks with Embry Riddle but they can only offer me an online undergraduate Professional Aeronautics. All very nice but if I want to get involved in engineering that's useless. Maybe someone here knows a good university offering online?
Cheers
Nowhere in the UK I'm afraid at BEng / BSc level (as many people will know, this is a long time grouch of mine!), although there are MSc options.
Globally, ERAU may well be the best option, they should offer aeronautical / areospace engineering first degrees - see what can be patched together from existing modules. Something along the same lines *might* be do-able if you talk actively to the OU, although I'd not hold out an enormous amount of hope in that direction.
The lack of any distance learning first degree in either mechanical or aeronautical engineering in the UK personally I regard as scandalous, but to date my numerous efforts to persuade various universities to start offering one have not fallen on fertile ground!
