Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) launched an online learning system named MITx on 5 March 2012 experimental prototype form, under which MIT will offer all its courses through online interactive learning platform. The first course on Circuits and Electronics (course MIT 6.002x) is already online in the form of OpenCourseWare within the public domain.
About MIT's 6.002x
Modelled on the MIT's 6.002x, the course is designed to be an introductory course for undergraduate students in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EECS). 6.002x will introduce engineering in the context of lumped circuit abstraction to undergraduate students looking forward to undergraduate Electrical Engineering (EE), or Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EECS) curriculum.
It will be taught by Anant Agarwal, EECS professor and director of MIT's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL), and Chris Terman, CSAIL co-director along with other experts.
The MIT's 6.002x EECS course is to help the students to make a shift from physics to electrical engineering and computer science. The electronics course EECS does not have any entrance eligibility criteria or fee. The students will have to spend approximately 10 hours per week on the course.
How to Enroll
Interested learners may start signing up at (http://mitx.mit.edu/). The course is audited and on successful completion, MIT will issue a certificate to the deserving students.
MITx open learning software is free of cost and its objective is to encourage other universities or educational institutions to boost their online education offerings. The course materials are meant to promote learning at an individual pace. It features interactivity, online laboratories and two way communication among the students.
