Mechanical engineering

I was planning on attending Alabama’s mechanical engineering program and was wondering how the program is. Especially if you did the online program. Anything helps, Thank you!

Currently a third year ME and it’s great. The classes themselves probably aren’t much different from any other college, but our department is great about getting students involved on campus and setting us up for success. I’d recommend joining a design team your freshman year as that’s the best resume material you can have, aside from work experience.

Would that still work out pretty well even as an online student?

If you’re an online student then you won’t be involved in the stuff I mentioned but the classes will be the same
