looking to start classes for my Computer Engineering Degree... i know a little but not too much about computers and programs.. im wanting to find a online college that allows me to work at my own pace as i have things going on in my life right now and cant go to a classroom setting every day. if anyone can help me with this information i would greatly appreciate it :)

First lesson in computer ANYTHING: google

ive been looking there boss... figured i could get some inside information here... :)

Asking for a specific college is not a good idea here.

Especially not when you have issues that make it so you can't attend classes regularly

well just looking for help in the right direction anyway. doesnt have to be anything college related.. can just be some information to get me started. like maybe a few books i can read or some programs i can play around with and teach myself with

Ahh, my bad then for interpreting it that way.

Anyways, there are a ton of resources for starting out online - Computer __________ is no longer a hipster field (until someone corrects me and lists something like "computer therapy").

Specifically for Computer Engineering though, I am not quite sure. I am a Computer science major myself.

CE seems much more of a related/sister degree of Electrical Engineering. I suggest checking out resources for that first, as most likely the majority of a CE degree will be about EE stuff.....

alright thanks

just looking to get into computer engineering(programming).. ive looked online and everything calls it something different than the last... what would a bachelors in computer science get me started into? would that be a good career path? im just looking to get into a well paying job that works with computers as i like to spend all my free time on mine... and i find them interesting and want to know more and be able to work on and do something with them.. im currently a paramedic and the pay isnt all that good so im hoping i can find a good paying job there as well... :) any input is appreciated

Massively Online Open Course.
MOOCs

You can take literally any college class for free online in a MOOC format. If you are more interested in learning the skills/content I would seriously look into a few of them instead of a online college....

rather than spending thousands and coming out with a piece of paper that says you're a bachelor of engineering because you gobbled the mans dick for 4 years....


The STEM school I attended had a engineering program; no offense but it seemed to be all the people too smart to be a mechanic but too stupid to write code and actually enter the CS field.

That is about all the input I have; hope it helps.

Generally speaking, those are different things. Computer science would be more aligned with programming, while computer engineering will be more like electronic engineering. If you want to get into programming, I'd say to pick a language, any language, and Google it. Everything you could possibly want to know about them and how to use them is freely available online.

thanks for the tips guys :) much appreciated i will start with java i believe :) and look into it and see what i like
