watched a lecture and it just seems genuinely interesting. It's like the practical, workable application of everything I've spend most of my (short)adult life studying(physics).
I looked around and I can't in any of the locations I would like to live in. That's as far as I looked. Honestly I read through some 101 level stuff in a friends curriculum and I was clueless. I think it would be mistake to do it anyway for me.
Just so you understand that this isn't a degree in Electrical Engineering it is an associates in Electrical Technology--big difference. It doesn't mean it is bad, just not what you posted so I wanted to make sure you realized the difference.

Thanks, Katiana.
You're welcome. I just want to be a bit of a devil's advocate here. I don't understand why you'd go back and get an AA/AS degree when you have a degree in physics. Many colleges, I'd venture to say several in every state (except maybe Wyoming which only has one that I know of) have engineering programs that offer a master's.
My brother-in-law started off in college with an intent to get an AS in some type of electronics, did well and liked it so much he went on to get an EE degree.

On an associates level isn't it roughly the same, particularly if it transfers directly and smoothly into a 4 year EE program? Am I wrong here?
Damn.

Thanks. I don't know, I just feel unprepared for it, I guess. I don't understand some pretty basic concepts that are layed in mid and entry-level EE curriculum, and I think it would just be a mistake. I know it sounds weird to start over from scratch. I don't know. Maybe it is.

You'd do well to talk to an advisor at the CC and make sure what transfers and what doesn't. In Colorado, there is a "list". Vocational classes usually do not transfer, while academic classes do. My BIL did this a long time ago, at a campus of the University of Nebraska, in other words at the same college.

Thanks. it says in the link: "The Electrical/Electronic Engineering Technology program is ABET Accredited and transfers to Cleveland State University and Akron University (2 + 2 program)."
I Guess what some of you are suggesting is that even at the BS level electrical engineering technology is different than straight engineering?
Apparently I have a lot to learn about this field, heh.

More like, a tech degree is not 1/2 of a BSEE. Keep researching, you'll find your niche.
