This is a repost, because I am having an unbelievably difficult time
tracking down a community college which offers the EE class I want on
a distance learning basis. I'm hoping maybe someone -- someone who
can point me in the right direction -- might catch the post this time,
if they missed it the first time.....
I am seeking information on any community colleges, anywhere in the
USA, that provide distance-learning (that is, Web-based, CD-based,
self-paced textbook study, etc.), for-credit programs of study in
electronic engineering. I really need community college based
classes, because costs are an issue. (The community colleges in
Maryland, where I am based, do NOT offer such classes, and UMUC does
not either. The nearest community college in Virginia does offer such
classes, but I have run through their distance learning course
offerings.)
I have already completed studies in basics of circuits and digital
design, but now need classes in transistor theory, basic analog
circuits (amplifiers, op-amps, oscillators, etc.) Please reply in the
newsgroups, or to the somewhat munged e-mail address below.
I've searched the Web extensively, and it's becoming clear that many
colleges -- even technically oriented community colleges, and ones
which have many other programs of study online -- are not offering EE
programs. I've love to know why. (I thought, maybe, it's because EE
classes often have labs. But in fact, you can have theory only EE
classes; and besides, many of these same schools offer
freshman/sophomore distance learning classes in chemistry, biology,
and physics -- fields which traditionally also have labs as well.)
Taking engineering courses without doing lab work produces engineers who
don't know which end of a soldering iron gets hot or which end of the
adjustable wrench should be used to pound the ICs into their sockets. That
is probably the one that said, "Spectrum analyzer? Yeah, I saw a picture of
one of those in one of my books, I think."
I have found, so far, exactly one college offering what I'm seeking,
Sinclair Community College in Ohio -- but for various reasons, too
detailed to go into here, their course is probably less than ideal for
my needs. So, I'm searching for other community colleges offering the
class that I'm seeking, distance learning style. Direct leads from
people in the know -- students and engineers -- would be really
helpful.
Okay, it looks like you have been unable to meet your criteria through
online searches. You may never meet all your requirements (for credit,
distance learning, ee courses, low cost). One avenue you may want to explore
is to talk with the professors at the colleges/universities that meet your
course offering and cost criteria. You may be able to work out a modified
schedule with them (some have more leeway to make the attendance decision
than others), so you can do the majority of your work outside of the
classroom (you will still have to show up for tests and labs). Assuming they
have the authority, if you can prove to them that you have the capability to
work independently and have a very good (legitimate) reason to not attend
all classes, they may be willing to work with you.. I have taken many
courses this way (I was also in my 40's and 50's and had a job that required
me to travel). Of course, many colleges have official policies limiting the
number of days a student can miss and some do not allow their professors to
waive this. Others are more flexible.
If you want to attend NO classes, you may, as you have discovered, be out of
luck.
One last suggestion: For the cost issue, check out scholarships, grants, and
financial aid. You can't get any of those if you don't apply. They may make
the difference that will allow you to take available university courses at
nearly the same out-of-pocket costs as the (non-existent) community college
courses.
