Good for you looking into finishing your degree while continuing to serve. It is a lot of work but also extremely rewarding - especially in engineering. Definitely stick with an ABET accredited school. Two that I know work well with military and are ABET accredited are Penn State Online and University of Missouri Science and Technology. But, you can google top online engineering programs and research what is best for you. There should be an education center on your base, especially one as large as San Diego and they can walk you through the process. Since you have not been in long enough to accrue your full post 9/11 GI Bill benefits you will have to ask if you can use some of it or have to wait. You can also use tuition assistance which is set amount of money that the military will provide you per fiscal year for your education. Ask the folks at the education center about the details but, in the Army you do owe 2 years of service from the last day of a class you took tuition assistance for. The best people to ask are those who work at the education center, it is their full time job to answer questions like yours.
