An online electronic engineering degree is a program offered by various universities and colleges through online platforms. It provides students with the opportunity to earn a bachelor's degree in electronic engineering remotely, typically over a duration of four years.
The National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) reports that the average undergraduate tuition and fees at a four-year institution were $16,647 in the 2019-20 school year, totaling about $66,590 for the entire degree. Additional costs such as room, board, transportation, and lost wages are not included. While some schools offer lower tuition for online students, this is not always the case.
According to Payscale, individuals with a bachelor's in electronics engineering technology earned an average base salary of $85,000 per year as of December 2021. Common job titles include electrical engineer, senior electrical engineer, controls engineer, manufacturing engineer, and automation engineer. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) reported a median salary of $103,390 for electrical and electronics engineers in 2020, with a projected 7% job growth from 2020 to 2030.
