  Undergraduate Electrical Engineering degree online
Posted by: cheeseberserk - 08-25-2025, 03:06 AM - Forum: Degree Planning Advice - Replies (6)

Hi,

Since I'm not very familiar with the U.S. education system, I was hoping someone could give me some insights about the following:

My ultimate goal is to earn an ABET-accredited degree in electrical engineering fully online, at the lowest possible cost.

I found an online undergraduate Electrical Engineering "upper-level two-year program" at Stony Brook University.
More info: https://www.stonybrook.edu/commcms/eeonline/

I read their requirements and it seems I have a chance of getting in, because my previous degree is not related to Electrical Engineering at all (it's a B.A. in English). (https://www.stonybrook.edu/commcms/eeonl...ns/faq.php)

According to their admission requirements (https://www.stonybrook.edu/commcms/eeonl.../index.php), the following courses need to be completed beforehand:

College Calculus I

College Calculus II

College Calculus III

Introduction to Differential Equations

An English composition course equivalent to WRT 102 (U.S. academic writing course), with at least a grade of C

My question is: are there any recommended (preferably inexpensive) online courses I could take as an international student to fulfill these prerequisites?

I came across some very low-cost online classes at New Mexico Junior College, but I’m not sure if they would be accepted.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thumbs Down Outrage Over Cracker Barrel Rebrand, Stock Plunges 20%+
Posted by: LevelUP - 08-24-2025, 03:38 PM - Forum: Off Topic - Replies (8)

After avoiding nearly all political news stories since April, I finally gave in and clicked on the Cracker Barrel rebrand controversy.

Was it just Republicans crying again over some minor nonsense? Yes. But was there more to it? Maybe.

Interestingly, this ended up becoming a rare issue that seemed to unite people on both sides of the political spectrum.

The décor in the new restaurant design feels pretty bland and lacking in character. Do we really need ten or more rolling pins on the wall? Art should convey some kind of emotion. This conveys nothing to me.

Personally, I’ve eaten at Cracker Barrel before and it’s fine, but Waffle House is still my favorite.

Thoughts?

  AU or GMU Degree
Posted by: doyouhowdo1 - 08-24-2025, 08:12 AM - Forum: Doctorate Degree Discussion - Replies (5)

Hi Everyone,

Would you choose Acacia University at Arizona or Guglielmo Marconi University to do your doctorate degree?
Both university partner with Westford.

I prefer more on Guglielmo Marconi University because it is recognised by the Italian Ministry of Education. However, when I look at the university website, I couldn't find anything about doctorate degree. Will the Italian Ministry of Education also recognised their doctorate degree?
https://www.westfordonline.com/course/do...eadership/

For Acacia University, it is only a NA university. But it is a U.S. university. So there won't be any problem about the degree.

  Pell Grant---UMPI ?????
Posted by: midnite123 - 08-24-2025, 02:25 AM - Forum: General Education-Related Discussion - Replies (7)

Hi GUYS,
   

I may have asked a question similar to this,
but I am still confused.

If someone gets a Pell Grant for $7k+,
Does that mean for example,
that if you take 12 credits
at UMPI in 1 session for $1800,
mean you will get the full
Pell Grant?

Can you explain this a little?
Thank you!!!!

  Hacks for reversing biological aging...
Posted by: bjcheung77 - 08-23-2025, 07:47 PM - Forum: General Education-Related Discussion - Replies (5)

Anyone do anything remotely close to what this person has done? Using Biomarkers and all to determine your fitness and health level?  I should try something like this as I am getting older.  I am definitely interested in this and want to work on that part I may be lacking in (fitness or health wise).

Anyone ever done the graduate certificate in Special Education?

Any information on this program anyone has would be appreciated. I don't think anyones ever done it before.

Interesting indeed... Trump's been putting strains on institutions pocket books, all that money lost for educational programs!  A commuter college thought it could avoid Trump’s education crackdown. Here’s what happened...
