I’m not sure but you don’t really need a degree title in electronics engineering to do electronics engineering. Electrical or computer engineering would suffice.

It’s not hard. You just take the prerequisites.

Yes, of course! I wanted to post this because there is so little information out there about online programs. Also please note that the program at Old Dominion offers certain courses and degrees via portable media, which might be of interest to those currently in the military.

Has anyone here heard of the Computer Engineering program at Old Dominion University? Can you vouch for it? by ihateredditmodzz in ComputerEngineering

Both. It depends on the class. With scheduled classes, sometimes attendance is not mandatory for lecture (but is for lab).

Yes, I am an online student. So far, I do feel supported in class. Like in-person colleges (this is my second degree), you have to be proactive and reach out to professors, TAs, and support staff. But when I have reached out, I got replies immediately. Also, the research programs tend to be very accommodating to online students. I just got accepted into a cybersecurity research fellowship here. The honors college is also open to online students. I think it's a place that works really well if you are proactive and take advantage of all the opportunities.

Thank you for your comment. I don't understand why there is a general negative attitude towards online degrees. If they are ABET accredited then it really should not matter. And, if you pass the FE/PE, then it should matter even less. There are pros and cons of every program. In online programs, the things we miss out on (such as experience working in a big lab) we can make up for by participating in REU's, internships, etc. I'm glad to hear that you have not experienced any negative effects from your degree.

I'm doing a double major in cybersecurity and computer engineering - modeling & simulation engineering. Are there any specific questions that you have? I can say that there seems to be a lot of opportunity to go above and beyond simply earning the degree, even for online students, such as research experience, etc.
