BS Engineering

[mr_Faraday]

Hello All, I am 28 year old guy from India. I have 4 years of work experience in IT industry. I discontinued my BSc ( computer Science) in the year 2002. I am now willing to study BS in engineering in US preferably in Mechanical or Electrical. I will not be abe to start it before 2012. I do not wish to invest 4 years for the education. Is there any chance I can complete my BS in 1 year ?

that depends on how much course work you had completed towards your BSc and if there are institutions willing to accept the credit.

generally US engineering curricula are designed to be 4 years of full time course-work with the first year devoted to basic calculus and fundamental science. I've had friends come out of high school with advanced math and science credit and complete a BS in engineering in 3 years so if you have course work that will transfer it is definitely conceivable to do it in a bit less than that. That being said, I think most schools will want you to attend for at least 2 years, especially if the school has some prestige.

Is it possible to transfer credits earned from online education like CLEAP , TECEP etc

Nope. Even if you had completed your BS in CS, there's enough required courses in the ME curriculum that will probably take you two years minimum to complete. I imagine EE is the same.

If I start fresh,is it possible to complete the BS in ME or EE in two years

Possibly. I'm not trying to be rude here, but if this is something you want to do then why dont you research it yourself instead of asking people? The best way to know for sure is if you look at some BSME or BSEE programs and compare your current transcripts to the course curriculum and requirements. Asking people can't do that for you.
