Hi, curiousminds-ga:
If you were leaning towards a classroom/campus experience, it seems
your best bet would probably be:
[CA Postsecondary - San Jose State University]
http://www.cpec.ca.gov/CollegeGuide/Institution.asp?B0016A
[San Jose State Univ. - Dept. of Mechanical & Aerospace Eng.]
http://www.engr.sjsu.edu/mae/
which has some AE evening classes and is within easy driving distance
of Sunnyvale, CA.
There are a few institutions offering undergraduate "distance
learning" classes in Aerospace Engineering.
[Embry-Riddle Aeronautical Univ. - Dept. of Distance Learning]
http://www.ec.erau.edu/ddl/undergradschedule.htm
Campuses in Prescott, AZ and Daytona Beach, FL.
[Virginia Tech - Aerospace & Ocean Engineering Dist. Learning]
http://www.aoe.vt.edu/academics/distance/
Blacksburg, VA, where I once was visiting faculty in the Math Dept.
[Univ. of North Dakota - Aerospace Network]
http://www.aero.und.edu/prosp/index.php3
An innovator in distance learning materials, located in Grand Forks,
ND.
I have a nephew enrolled in an Aerospace Engineering program at
Georgia Tech, where he's just completed his freshman year. There are
typically only a couple of introductory engineering courses during the
first year -- one for generic use of engineering tools and
terminology, and one that is specific to one's specific area like
Aerospace. If you already have a college degree, esp. in an
engineering area, then you may quickly find yourself looking at second
year curriculum courses.
Let me know if you'd like me to identify the "introductory" (freshman
level) Aerospace course at each of the institutions above.
