As BDC editors explain, "For those who want a career that will continue to promote and move up, engineering offers that ability with experience, certification, and higher degrees." For working adults, getting a bachelor's in engineering may be key to moving up: "Adults who have been working for some time in fields like technology, construction, and similar areas with just a high school diploma or associate's degree may find that their career potential is stunted." For traditional-aged students, "traditional, on-campus program is generally considered the best choice, due to the mentorship and networking opportunities – not to mention access to state of the art equipment and labs." Whatever the case, professionals with an engineering background have a wide-open field of opportunity due to the highly adaptable skills that come with engineering: "these skills include logistics, problem-solving, logical thinking, and proficient in working with numbers and are essential for successful engineers across the globe."

While there are many on-campus undergraduate engineering programs, online programs are less common, but critical. As BDC editors explain, "For many working adults, an online engineering degree is the logical next step in their career": "An online bachelor's degree in engineering or engineering technology helps them move into higher positions and earn higher pay." While traditional-aged students benefit from the mentorship and job market assistant of a campus-based program, working adults already in construction, manufacturing and related fields need credentials. Online programs, especially accelerated programs, help working adults "increase their credentials and make more money soon." Whether they are traditional-aged students just starting their engineering career path, or working adults planning the next leap forward in their career, Bachelor's Degree Center's rankings of the best engineering bachelor's degree programs are designed to show them the way to a rewarding career and a degree that will return their investment.

Bachelor's Degree Center has been providing advice, resources, and rankings on the best traditional and online bachelor's degree programs since 2014. Completely independent and unbiased, BDC is working to be the ultimate resource for new high school graduates, working adults returning to school, and nontraditional students.
