Self-Study or Classes: Which Path to Computer Engineering After High School?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

Self-study is insufficient for obtaining a Bachelor's degree in Computer Engineering, such as a Bachelor of Computer Applications or Bachelor of Technology. Universities require completion of specific course credits, typically exceeding 100, through classes offered by the institution or equivalent courses from other accredited schools. While self-study may allow students to test out of certain lower-level courses, it does not contribute to the total credit requirements necessary for graduation. Therefore, formal classes are essential for achieving a recognized degree in this field.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of foundational subjects: Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, and Computer Science.
  • Familiarity with university credit systems and degree requirements.
  • Knowledge of self-study techniques and their limitations in formal education.
  • Awareness of course equivalency and credit transfer processes.
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the specific credit requirements for a Bachelor of Computer Applications at accredited universities.
  • Explore self-study resources for foundational subjects like Physics and Mathematics.
  • Investigate the process of credit transfer between universities for Computer Science courses.
  • Learn about testing options for bypassing lower-level courses in Computer Engineering programs.
USEFUL FOR

High school graduates considering a career in Computer Engineering, academic advisors, and prospective students evaluating their educational pathways.

i wanted to ask you after high school passing grade 12
when we do computer engineering courses like Bachelor of computer applications, Bachelor in computer science,,B of technology

we can do self study or classes is required for these courses

as computer engineering courses will have subjects like physics,chemistry,maths so we had in high school also so we if know physics,chemistry,maths,computer science very well so as a fundamental or foundation for computer engineering
we can do computer engineering courses subjects by self study

As I understand it, you cannot receive a Bachelor's of anything without completing the requirements specific to that course and university/school. This almost always involves 100+ credits received by passing courses offered by that university or school or by completing equivalent courses in other universities and schools and transferring those credits over to the new one.

You cannot receive a Bachelor's degree from any respectable university of school by doing self-study.

Having said that, you might be able to self-study for a particular low-level course and take a test to skip it. Doing so can let you bypass certain prerequisites and move on to other classes, but this is almost always limited to lower-level courses, not upper-level ones, and usually doesn't count towards the number of credits your degree requires.

TL;DR: How can I begin to gain an understanding of astronomy? Hello there, and thank you in advance to anyone that might answer this. I'm sorry if this is the wrong place to post a question like this, as I am new to this website and also very nervous about making a post that others might see/reply to. I am a freshman in high school and I am interested in astronomy. I want to learn about space, but I am not quite sure where to begin. Is there anything that I can do to seriously expand my...
