Note: You can now find through the fol­low­ing link a com­plete list of Mas­sive Open Online Cours­es (MOOCs), many offer­ing cer­tifi­cates.

In the wan­ing days of 2011, MIT announced MITx, a new e‑learning ini­tia­tive that will offer cer­tifi­cates (find a list of Free Online Cer­tifi­cate Cours­es here) to stu­dents demon­strat­ing mas­tery of free MIT cours­es. The uni­ver­si­ty set a spring launch date for MITx, and they have now opened for enroll­ment the very first course. Taught by Anant Agar­w­al, Cir­cuits and Elec­tron­ics is an online adap­tion of MIT’s first under­grad­u­ate ana­log design course. Accord­ing the MITx web site, this pro­to­type course will run — free of charge — for stu­dents world­wide from March 5, 2012 through June 8, 2012. And stu­dents will have the oppor­tu­ni­ty to demon­strate their mas­tery of the mate­r­i­al and earn a cer­tifi­cate from MITx. You can get more infor­ma­tion on the course, or sim­ply enroll in Cir­cuits and Elec­tron­ics, today. Just click here.

Many oth­er engi­neer­ing and com­put­er sci­ence cours­es can be found in our col­lec­tion of 400 Free Cours­es Online.

UPDATE:  MIT pro­fes­sor David Pritchard and his edu­ca­tion research group, RELATE are offer­ing an online MIT-lev­el course in Intro­duc­to­ry New­ton­ian Mechan­ics. The course is free and does not require a text­book.  Enroll­ment has just opened (it starts with an option­al pre­req­ui­sites test), and the course runs from March 1 — May 14, 2012.  Indi­vid­u­als who com­plete the course will receive a let­ter of com­ple­tion. This MIT course is unre­lat­ed to the MITx project men­tioned right above.

    Dear Sir,

    I would be inter­est­ed to enrol on the Cir­cuits and Elec­tron­ics course cur­rent­ly adver­tized. I am cur­rent­ly employed as a switch tech­ni­cian and feel the top­ics dis­cussed in the course would be of great ben­e­fit to me.

    Kind regards

    Most expe­ri­ence I have is in cir­cuits is work­ing in pro­duc­tion line of build­ing lap­tops and com­put­er cur­cuit­ry @ Acer Cor­po­ra­tion mid 90’s , for 5 years , I love it with a pas­sion but they relo­cat­ed to anoth­er coun­try. I decid­ed to go back to school and study com­put­er sci­ence. I fin­ish my Asso­ciates Degree and could not afford to go back to get my bach­e­lors degree. This course would help me great­ly to pur­sue high­er edu­ca­tion.
