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

[cookderosa]

At 16, as a homeschooled teen, the parents get to make the plan unless or until their teen shows interest in influencing that plan. That's the very essence of homeschooling. Yes, you need curriculum. It doesn't "have to" bring in college credit today, and I would say it's too soon to degree plan, but it's not too soon to start a "path" toward certain things. For instance, in the degrees mentioned in this thread, we seem to notice it's math-heavy, so taking your lead from that, know that he should be using a good-solid- homeschool math curriuclum (Saxon for instance) that will take him up through Precal. He can THEN pursue higher maths through the community college (which serves as dual credit - high school and college) as well as giving him access to smart math teachers.
So, since you mentioned having read my book twice, you probably already know that my opinion is to bring college credit into your homeschool instead of trying to make your homeschool follow a degree plan. Focus on the diploma, and bring in college credit where it makes sense. Dual enrollment is an excellent opportunity if it's reduced tuition in your state (or free) but if it's not, then you'll have to be more creative (DIY style like AP and CLEP) but you can absolutely get college credit for very low cost and absolutely it can happen post-high school too, so don't think you're running out of time. Earning even 1 college credit in high school puts him ahead.

PS do you have access to dual enrollment? Is it free?
