Opinions on Oregon State University Online Mechanical Engineering undergrad

Hello, I am a sophomore standing student at OSU online after transferring some credits from a 2 year.

My question is this a viable option for a working adult who wants to be a mechanical engineer? I am in a position where I need to work at least 20 hours but probably a bit more some weeks. There are no 4 year schools near me I am get into and reasonable commute to.

The program is fully online as well as being ABET accredited. I’m a non traditional student, I’m 26 and would have 3 or years left since at first I was part time in school now I am full time.

Any input is greatly appreciated.
