I found this today, and thought it was worth sharing;
MIT has a lot of their courses available for free on the web. Here is
the EE/CS section:

Great stuff there...

"Great stuff there..." Indeed, I remember it well, but with mixed
emotions ;-)

So you didn't like being tortured with Maxwell's equations either?

Look at the first picture. Do they really get to play with Lego these days?

Indeed.

Only EE courses I got B's in.

Mostly it was the work load... to bed at 2AM, up at 6AM ;-(

Yes, they told us that we won't necessarily learn exactly what we need.
But that we'd learn how to learn and most of all that it would make us
tough.

Somehow that reminded me of what our drill sergeant told us. Or rather,
yelled at us.

That's really it, "learn how to learn".

I guess, at my advanced age, I can now admit that for most of the
projects I've ever taken on, I didn't have a clue. By the time I was
done, I was the expert ;-)

I never had to endure that. I was 2S while at MIT, and deferred
indefinitely by security-related work when I joined Motorola.

I hold the record at Motorola for obtaining a security clearance
faster than anyone else. Both my father and father-in-law held "Q"
clearance when they were in WWII, and the FBI agent-in-charge of the
Phoenix office in 1962 turned out to be the father of a kid I went to
high school with in Huntington, WV, from 1955-1958.

Yes they do, and so do kids at a lot of other schools! They're popular for
building robots, which is presently a popular way to get undergraduates
interested in electronics (or at least that's the hypothesis...). If you have
a good bookstore nearby, you might want to check out O'Reily's magazine,
"Make". The current issue (volume 2 -- it's quarterly and new) has an article
about using legos for prototyping... It also has an article about people who
spend their time building replicas of R2D2!

Oregon State University (the place I'm occasionally forced to admit I've been
associated with, but usually only after a couple of beers) has an
undergraduate robot program known as TekBots (guess who sponsored it?). They
don't (typically) use legos, though!

I just find that Legos are quite expensive. Mostly I use wood. It's a
wonderful material.
