Man, millions of old students wish we had these opportunities and information when we were in College in the 1980’s, 1990’s into the 2000’s. 😅😂 Great job.

This was incredibly useful, thank you so much

Thank you for this information. I am a master class automation technician in the biomedical manufacturing field. I have been a lead technician for about 10 years, and have pretty much hit a brick wall in my career path. I am self educated. I actually hold zero certifications. I am told now at thins point I "need at minimum to hold a bachelors degree" in order to climb the ladder any further in the world of manufacturing. Another common wall i run into when applying to other companies is "over qualified". .. I have little time to attend university due to 40-76 hour work weeks and being a father of 4 kids... I am at the moment researching how to stitch together a "degree" in mechatronics through certifications. This video was helpful, so i appreciate your time. I agree kahn academy does offer very good courses, but there is no certifications for completing, so they hold no weight. I would suggest someone in my situation use them as a prep for a certification... their electrical engineering course is very good, but it will not hold any value. If there is an actual accredited course that s similar out there, i recommend going that path instead. Again, thank you for your time and consideration to people that may be in different situations than your own. The world needs more people like you!

You can't stitch together a degree just through KhanAcademy courses. Udemy and edx offer lots of courses, many of which can be redeemed for college credit at *certain* universities, but most universities will require you take some lab courses which you might have to go to an actual university (or at least to a local community college) for the sake of completing lab requirements. Additionally, assignments at Udemy and edx courses are often leagues beneath real university courses in terms of homework and test difficulty, which is why some universities might not accept the completion of any online courses (even the ones created and offered by them) in exchange for real college credit. If your aim is to gain the theoretical knowledge that electrical engineers have, then yes, you can get that from online resources, but if your aim is to get a real, valid engineer's diploma, I'm afraid that there is no way of working your way around signing up at a university and taking courses with them. Do whatever you can to find out if there's a local college that offers online night courses, which will also allow you to take weekend lab classes.

@@alfredomulleretxeberria4239 thank you for your time and insightful response and advice. Since a year ago when I initially made this response, I have been successful in "stitching" a "degree" together. I am no longer an automation technician, but an Electrical Controls Reliability Engineer at the largest shipping company in the world. However, I decided not to stop there. Since after "stitching together my degree" and getting this new job in the career of my choice, I also make enough money and gave enough time to pursue an accredited degree (just to augment my experience for employers). I found an ABET-accredited Electrical Systems Engineering program and am attending University online, at an employer respected University. My area of concentration in my degree program is mechatronics. I would like to state that I do understand the value of a degree or diploma and what it says for someone's character. I will also say this if you are an engineering student I highly recommend augmenting your education with real-world experience. Too many times, I have had interns sent to me that fell on their faces really hard and were humbled by application vs theory and it took me quite some time to get them up to speed (not that theoretical knowledge doesn't serve its purpose). In automation, you won't really find anyone to "train" you- you will be expected to hit the ground running, will have to adopt a fake-it-till-you-make-it mentality and learn constantly on the fly, and most likely cope with very heavy doses of imposter syndrome. the field of mechatronics is constantly changing and evolving, and at an accelerated rate, so your ability to perform well under pressure and consume a massive amount of new information will be more valuable than a degree in the end. If you can go to university by all means do this, but just know it is possible to "stitch together a degree" and land an engineering job without a degree, but it will not be easy. Put your all into what your dreams are and they will come true. Knowledge is power, no matter how you obtain it. Stay thirsty my friends.

Thank you so much for sharing this! I’m a certified ophthalmic technician and optician hoping to become an optical engineer. I greatly appreciate your insight.

that was great Oliver! thank you!

Hi friend, I want to say a big thank for the information provided. It was very easy and clear to understand what all you explain. I am an engineer specialized in amplifier building, but I want to get my B.S.C. but all the online courses I saw was not helpful. So I am going to try Khan academy. I am an African I am a Liberian. We have a horrible learning institution in our country most especially in the field of electronic. So I hop Khan academy will be a great help to me, thank you once more.

Great initiative👍Thank you very much😍

Amazing video!! Thanking u before u get popular, and it gets in your head, lol, keep on the good work 👍 edit: pls make some videos on scholarships and admissions thanks!!

Well that look almost like a syllabus , it's very detailed thank you for the information.👍

this is a very helpful video but the title is kind of... false advertising because someone can take every class in a major and it still won't give them the piece of paper to show potential employers so this vid is showing us how to get an *education* but not a *degree*

I mean it helps learning. Depending on which country you’re in they have professional recognised certificates etc that are accepted. It shows you know the regulations etc. like in England the council of Engineering. Others it’s more about working and getting experience, even if it’s a day or two where you are not getting paid, when you do apply for a job that experience shows quite a lot. I guess research and see what’s out there

Awesome brother. Love from Bangladesh 😍

Thanks a lot, you are my inspiration

If you decided to forgo the "certificate of indentured servitude" and simply learn all you can free online, how far do you think you'd be able to get? Both in terms of a full education and in the workforce.

@OliverFoote

If you are doing something in software. You can get very far in terms of both education and workforce if your learn for free online. Software is one of the best fields for self learning and getting a good job. But most other engineering fields you’d more than likely have to go the traditional route.

i can finally start mechatronics before university!

Ok great, now how does this translate into a "free engineering degree"? Or is it just getting credit for the first year of studies then I pay for the 2nd year of the engineering degree for a half price engineering degree in lieu of a free degree

dude tell us how did you g et that "free engineering degree certificate " from

Hi Oliver, it seems like the engineering design course you linked in the description is no longer active. Are there any other courses I can refer to for this topic?

Informative !!

That was Great!

Interesting, thanks for sharing!!! Can these courses get credits into university graduation requirements?😊😊😊

Do you help me, how can I get an online of faculty of civil engineering?

Hi Oliver Foote I am a Technician in an Oil & Gas Company for 8 years now and I get there because of my Mechanical skills and no Education but now they are asking for a bachelors degree" in order for me to continue with them and I have zero Educational background. But now I want to get some Basic knowledge on Electrical Engineering because that's what I have let them know I did in school, Please I need your help on this thanks I will be waiting to hear back from you. As a Father of 4 children already is not that easy for me that is why I am coming to you for some help on what to do and how to do, so that i can keep my job and help my children not to goo the same path in life i went through.

Thanks much.... without you it would be so far in the air about this degree, even graduates in the field still can't explain in great detail its always short-lived explanations elsewhere.

Is the certificate accredited? And if it's so easy to go then why others fon't do it And is there any final certification which charges us?

But if I don’t look at the answers how will I know if I got the right answer?😅

Hai, can you please tell me if online mechatronics engineering courses is worth, If yes can you suggest some University. Because I stay in India and can't travel abroad.

is there anywhere i can study chip engineering course?

When does Part Two come along?

Where is the part 2?

would they give students credit if any student want to complete entire degree like this?I am from a place where I just have internet and food and very less money , living below poverty level, If I don't get education what's the point of living as human, I have to do labour job in city if I go there for food , most of the expenses would be for rent, transport and medicine, please let me whether i can do any degree online which would be recognised? please reply, any help would be highly appreciated.thank you.

Please help guys, where is a good place to get free ebooks?

I have a doubt, whatever you said in this is one semester syllabus or syllabus of first year mechatronics engineering Please reply, l really want to know your answer

As for Mechatronics in particular there are only a very small amount of schools in the US I think university of Michigan has a program and MIT has a graduate program. If you want to go to the US I’d look into mechanical or computer engineering as related fields
