Hi,
Would anyone recommend taking an online course to learn embedded hardware design? It is being taught at a local university. Never took an online engineering course before and don't know how effective it would be.
Thanks,

I can't see how you might expect any answers beside vague generalizations.

It is not as efficient as being in the class.
The instructors are there to give you a guideline rather than to teach you the actual (entire) material.
You will however have access (email) to the instructor and to others taking the class.
Therefore, what I did is utilized all the material that was give during the class and took it upon myself to learn (re-learn) the material, because the instructor should have the most pertinent material for that class.
Then, I bombarded the instructor with questions and discussion points which invited feedback from others taking the class.
At the end it's all about the time you put it and being organized.

The on-campus lectures were videotaped and tape sent to me to view. The downside - you can't ask questions immediately (followup by email instead). The big upside - you can pause to write down/digest something, rewind to go over it, or fast forward if it's old hat. And by the way, why drive to class when you can watch the video in your living room!
Exams were same as on-campus students, just taken and proctored locally so if you want to know the quality of the program it's the same as the on-campus.
So, my particular experience - it was a perfect fit... perhaps better than on campus in terms of ease of learning.
