Engineering Degree Online | Lucky Aviator gets free MBA

Posted by bposton on November 7th, 2006 — Posted in engineering degree online

Here’s a story I was reading the online dorm room  the other night that I thought was pretty interesting
and you know how I love to share…:-)

Stephanie Smith, 28, of Albany, OR recently won a free MBA from in a raffle held by Daniel Webster College for a
free online MBA for Aviation Professionals.

She starts her MBA for Aviation Professionals on January 22, 2007, joining others who have decided to pursue
their master’s degree online – with an aviation focus.

And she, ;ike them, will find that they’ll be able to get that MBA without many of the challenges students encounter while
attending a traditional MBA campus program. 

Stephanie has a degree in mechanical engineering from Oregon State University and sees Daniel Webster’s graduate degree as an opportunity to expand her opportunities where she works.

Here’s what she said about earning an MBA:
“While I have a technical background with the mechanical engineering degree and work experience through Garmin,
I feel the MBA for Aviation Professionals will provide a more solid business background. For me, this program will
allow me to learn important and necessary skills, essential for working within our organization and with others,
and allowing me to look beyond the technical aspects of my work.”

She had been looking to get an MBA for a while, but found that most MBA programs would interfere too
much with her work schedule and family life.

Trying to figure out which MBA program would be best was “overwhelming” she said

At work Smith does mechanical design work and analysis for aircraft installation of avionics.

Both she and her husband Dennis are pilots and currently own a Piper Tomahawk, which they fly as often as they can.
Smith is currently training for her IFR rating.

So congratulations, Stef…

And in case you’re a budding aviation professional, you might want to know that Daniel Webster, one of the oldest
names in professional aviation education, and they’ve combined its industry experience with the
latest technology, making earning your next degree both convenient and “virtual.” 

Their online MBA Program, designed for Aviation Professionals, is offered entirely online. it’s a three-semester,
13-course curriculum where students participate in online presentations and chats with industry
professionals and utilize cutting-edge technology from Macromedia Breeze and Blackboard. Students learn from the best
flight management and business professionals in the field and study alongside professionals like themselves, without an
on-campus requirement.

engineering degree online : Another success story…

Posted by bposton on October 23rd, 2006 — Posted in engineering degree online

Here’s another success story about a schoolteacher who was able to
“have his cake and eat it to” with an online degree program:

David Bergan was caught between a rock and a hard place…

He was a 25-year-old seventh grade mathematics teacher at Mason (OH) Middle School and he felt like he had to choose between his career and his passion.
  
He knew that to keep his career as a teacher moving forward, he needed a master’s
degree in education.

Problem was, if he when back to school on a part-time basis it would force him to stop doing what he loved, which was coaching the high school swim team during the school year, and his local Evendale Community swim team during the summer.

But Bergan found a solution that let him do both.

He enrolled in the University of Cincinnati’s (UC) online Master of Education in
Education Leadership degree program.

Here’s what he had to say about his experience:
“When I was looking for a master’s in education, my top choice was the
University of Cincinnati because I knew it was a great program,”
Since the only thing I was familiar with was the on-campus program,
I knew there was no way I could get my degree and continue coaching.
The online program was the only way that I could do both.”

David is on track to get his degree in March of 2007. He has set his sights on an
administration position as his top career choice.

Another benefit is that his master’s degree will allow him to keep up with the educational demands of his profession and the standards currently being adopted by the state of Ohio.

And he can continue with his passion for swimming, which he’s been doing since he eas five. The flexibility of the online program has allowed him to share that passion with the kids he coaches.

This is just one of many succes stories of students who are able to continue their
education through the convenience of an online learning programs like UC’s Master of
Education in Educational Leadership.
