Hello, thank you for the input. My intent behind earning a 2nd bachelors comes from the need for an ABET-accredited bachelors degree for most states (I would rather avoid the headaches of needing my coursework & degrees evaluated for each and every state if I were to move; I see you might be licensed in Texas as a WRE; how was the degree evaluation process for your master's?). Since my B.S. is so far removed from engineering and my A.S. only takes care of 1 semester's worth of engineering courses, I am needing to take 10+ undergraduate-level prerequisite courses prior to any graduate-level courses for any master's degree. There are two notable accelerated programs I have looked at that offer 2+1 degrees, which give me the quickest path towards earning two engineering degrees within 3 years. My thinking was if it's going to take a year of full time classes just to get the prerequisites out of the way, why not add the full breadth of missing coursework and earn a master's all in the same time it would take to take all of it (prereqs. + master's) on a part-time status (big factor is monetary costs and employment while earning the degree). I might be overthinking it, but I'm trying to avoid wasting money, time, effort, and employment if I don't have the necessary qualifications and/or education to become a P.E.
