HELP! Homeschooler...Need ideas for a Computer Engineering Degree

[TwinMom]

Hello!

My son is 16 and we home school.  He is not very motivated in general...doesn't really know what he wants to do... but has shown interest recently in engineering (programming code that tells electrical components what to do).  

So, I'm trying to take that and run with it for now.  Finances are a HUGE issue though.  We won't be able to help him with college $, so I'm trying to do what I can now to interject college credit into high school.  I was initially hoping to have him go to one of the BIG 3.  But, it doesn't look like there's an engineering program at any of those three (unless i missed it??).  TSEU has a 'Electrical Stystems Engineering Technology' degree but, my brother (also an EE) says a technology degree is different and it would be best for him to go to a school with an 'engineering program.'  

UGH...so, I'd love some advice.  I just need a direction to start heading in and know that the college credit he's earning in HS won't be for nothing! 

Thanks so much! 

If you haven’t done so already, I would highly recommend you check out Homeschooling for College Credit .com and her FB page with the same name as well as buy her book from Amazon. I bet that will really help you get the big picture and where to start.
