Be careful. First, U Phoenix does not have a good reputation with employers in your field. Second, their engineering programs are not appropriately accredited - their university as a whole is regionally accredited, but their engineering programs don't have the right type of professional accreditation. That may mean that you would not be qualified to work as an engineer in most US states.
There are some reputable schools that do offer online engineering degrees. These schools are appropriately accredited:
University of Massachusetts at Amherst
Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute
University of Maryland
Duke University
Drexel
Carnegie Mellon
Penn State
Ball State
U Nebraska - Lincoln
Worcester Polytechnic Institute
University of Illinois
If you're willing to go to school in person, call and speak to someone in the continuing education department at the University of California, Los Angeles. It's a respected school right in your area.
It may be possible for you to attend school full time at night, by attending classes several nights per week. But you will need to leave yourself time for homework, so be sure to factor that in. Most people who work full time go to school part time in order to balance everything in their lives.

i always have a biased with online universities. If you have no other option, then i say go for it. It is an accredited college. Online universities are also pretty pricey and hard.
The question you have to ask yourself is, how many of their graduates get jobs right after graduation. Many businesses dont think the university of phoenix is great.
My friend wanted to try DeVry University (pretty much the same as UofP) and why he decided not to go was because of that.
the main purpose of going to school is to get a good job after. But if that cant happen then whats the point right?
hope this helps.

I know a few people who are taking the online courses for the University of Phoenix and they like it a lot. It's convenient for them since they work full time during the day and some of them have a family, etc. It's geared more for the working adult of today so it works out pretty good. The courses are pricey, but it's well worth the money.

Don't bother with Phoenix, Capella or Walden U. Most hiring managers don't hold their degree's in high regard

There is no question that it is an accredited institution. But...
Have a look at this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/University_of_phoenix#Federal_investigations
and at the New York Times article cited there.
