There are more remote options available at lower tuition costs if you are open to Electrical/Electronic Engineering Technologies degrees. It depends on your goals.
Working in power generation or needing a PE license, I could see the need for an EE degree. If you are not too concerned with getting a PE immediately or not planning to work in a highly regulated industry/role, then EET would suffice.
For reference, I'm a senior lead electrical automation controls and industrial robotics engineer in the automotive manufacturing industry in the US. I got into this role without a degree at all. Much of the manufacturing industry is not concerned about the degree, but it does check the box for HR. Having a functional understanding of electrical engineering is helpful, but 90% of the work can be learned by reading manuals.
