Anyone have some experience with TESU technical majors (Electrical/Electronics)

I work for the largest computer hardware manufacturer supporting multi million dollar storage clusters. Really even a BS Professional Studies would suffice. I do want to get more into the deeper internals of computer hardware to get into a position called principle support engineer who basically "owns" a component and works with engineering to fix big issues. My ideal degree would be Electronics or Computer Engineering Technology but it comes down to time/cost on a degree that doesn't teach me what I need to know, right now, to do my job better.

My pie in the sky degree is the Master's of Electrical Engineering from U of Colardo Boulder that is offered on Coursera. They have no prerequisites - not even a Bachelors degree. You can have no degree at all and they will let you in if you can pass one of the courses offered on coursera. I could probably handle a lot of it already but I need to get better at the fundamentals of electronics with:

And a PLC technician course, Mechatronics, etc to get the foundational knowedge to prep for the Coursera program.

I definetly need to learn the calculus and science for EET.

That being said It would be nice to use these self study courses in the certifcate program and some circuit analysis from EdX for credit somewhere. I'm not really willing to side track and work on something that is not in service of the goal of:

The immediate goal would be to get the Electronics technician certification and tack on an associates. I have 30 credits for the associate of professional studies so I wouldn't waste time doing that, and would simply need the generals from Purdue University Global. Basically, a do it yourself  AS Electronics Technology. If I could get one from TESU that officially as AS Electrical Studies, AS Electronic Engineering, AAS Applied Electronics that would be better then a Pro Studies degree.

I know everyone is against spending extra money to get the associates but I don't have to pay for it so its a non-issue. If I stop at an associates degree level it's still something on my resume that says I can work with electronics. No degree hasn't hindered me - I work with engineers that have graduated from Purdue. What IS going to hinder me is having to take time away from learning what I need, when I need it.

The goal with the Electrical Technologies would be that I could use what I learn not in a college program (Electronics Certificate, Coursera courses, etc) and get something concrete that I can show the more advanced teams hiring managers. I'm also pursueing a Master Certified Electronics technician, or at least a Senior Electronics journeyman. If I could use those tests for PLA that would be awesome. I

I've looked at Grantham's BS EET program and it is ABET, it just comes down to time. If I can use all of what I'm doing to get a degree, any degree, that would work just fine. I presume that the Electrical Technology program is going to be less of a time commitment then the engineering one, and I just can't afford to spend time away from something that is not related to the server i support and advancing knowledge of what I need right now. I've got coworkers that are going to a proper college and I smoke them because I can spend time on learning what I need when I need it.

My game plan is a little different then most people's on here. I don't care about cost and I really don't care about time - as long as its not making me spend time studying things that aren't immediately useful. An associates gets something on my resume faster then waiting to get the bachelors. Cost isn't important.
