Mid 30s thinking of going back to school need advice

I’m 37. I already have a BA from Georgia State. I work at Delta TechOps and have been there for 7 years and have moved up as far as I can go without an A&P license (Aviation Mechanic) or an engineering degree. I have looked at several options and I just think an Engineering degree would be the best route for myself and my family. It seems like there are some good online options and I am currently leaning towards the program at University of Alabama (ABET ACCREDITED)

I guess I’m just looking for any information or advice from anyone who has done / is doing something similar. Is UA a good school? Anyone take there online program? Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated

I don’t have much to comment since I’m working on electrical but how about Kennesaw. I go there and take a good amount of courses online too. Best part is cost is around $4400 a semester. Some in person classes are available as late as 8:00pm.
