I finally obtained the motor needed for my swap project with my 1987 Toyota Supra. I will be installing the famed Lexus 1UZ-FE quad-cam, 32valve V8 into the Supra. I am hoping to finish it up across the Winter here in Michigan and be running by mid-April in 2008. A project diary will be kept at http://1uzsupra.com.
What is the deal with SUV and pickup truck drivers these days? I drive a a grand touring sports car, and it is not a small car seeing as how it weighs in at ~3500lbs without me in it, yet these drivers must be blind since they are either pulling out in front of me, or pulling so far ahead of me when I am attempting to make a left hand turn that I can no longer see if there is any oncoming traffic from the right hand side forcing me to wait for their sorry excuse of a life to get out of the way so I can safely enter traffic.
Well, after careful consideration and reviewing the current options available for online Computer Science degrees, it appears as if I will be staying with Baker College for the time being. My current job involves quite a bit of travel and the threat of travel which leaves me no room to take traditional classes at brick-and-mortar schools. One would think in this day and age more universities would offer their Computer Science degrees online.
I kind of get why there are not very many four-year engineering degrees online yet, and even then, technology in simulation software is catching up and allowing almost anything done in labs for four-year engineering degrees to be done via a workstation now. With that argument out of the way, it seems to come down to investing the time and money into setting up the online degree for such a small return as mentioned in the April, 2003 Prism article “Can Distance Education be Unlocked”. So why is there such a lack of online Computer Science degrees?
It appears, for the moment, that I will be withdrawing from Baker after this semester is completed. Since I began with Baker back during the Summer semester (2007), I have been asking whether or not the Bachelor of Computer Science degree is considered a Bachelor of Science or a Bachelor of Arts degree because I would like to continue on, or have the change to continue on, to graduate school after I graduate. I finally received my answer from the advisers which stated the degree is considered neither a BS or BA in Computer Science and I would need to check with any graduate schools I am interested in applying to whether the degree would be accepted.
I would much rather attend a school which has a standard degree recognizable by any accredited institution. It appears my search will continue in seeking true, online Bachelor of Science degrees in either Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering or Computer Science. So far the only other school I have found offering this has been University of North Dakota and unfortunately their lack of communication turned me off of them the first time I was accepted and planned to attend. However, if they are still the only ones out there, I may have to re-apply. One would think in this day and age, more schools would be offering accredited engineering and science degrees online.
