Review:

I work as a digital Design consultant (VHDL - ASIC/FPGA design) and decided to take some online courses in computer Engineering.  My original degree field is EE from USF, and so I wanted to get more formal software courses under my belt. 

I've been very happy with the technical content and organization of the course material. There is good useage of simulators, software IDE's, languages etc.  Additionally all the required software tools & books are conveniently shipped to you as part of your tuition.

The customer service varies. Sometimes it seems to take an excessive amount of time to get books for a new class, and it seems as if you are disconnected from the counselers.  Then shortly after you'll get great service and direct support with periodic check-in's to make sure you are staying on track.  
Overall support has significantly improved since 2006 and is now quite good and consistent. 

I can't compare this to other online universities, but compared to a standard regional university I would recommend this school if you need the flexibility and are a self-starter. (e.g. can learn/study on your own)
