Can I have a engineering graduation without leaving my house? How it works?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
No, likely not. Generally there would be classes online, but you'd be expected to attend seminars, "class" educational "events", possibly even a final, things like that. And I'm not sure how many undergraduate distance learning programs there are; though I guess I suspect there are a few.

You really should do a distance learning course with some residential schools, where you get to do experiments/ field trips. Its only proper for a course like Physics or Engineering. Maths, you could do at home, no problem. I did my Physics degree by distance and I regularly went to residential schools for experiments. It wouldn't haven't been a good programme to do otherwise.
