Any accelerated online engineering bachelors out there?

Just for anyone considering the CU Boulder MSEE (changing to MS-ECE - Electrical and Computer Engineering shortly): Picking this up without a related undergrad will be very difficult. I have some experience at technician level plus the TESU CS degree and the courses aren't easy. Before starting, you can review Khan academy for circuit analysis basics. You need your math to be on point (calc, algebra, etc). Of the programs CU is offering VIA MOOC, this is by far the most rigorous and demanding from my exposure thus far. There is a LOT of assumed knowledge including C programming, computer architecture, circuit logic, RTOS, embedded linux, troubleshooting, memory management and more. If you don't have the foundation, you will find yourself (as I have) frequently having to pause, go review foundational material (sometimes takes over a week just to get the basics on a topic) then resume studies. It is doable but requires a lot of effort - maybe in the neighborhood of 10x what it takes to get a TESU CS degree.
