Engineers out There?

Yeah but anatomy and physiology should be in a lab. You have to do a cat lab and you should see the bones and organs in person, otherwise how will you tell the left from the right ones? Chemistry too. Also you have to consider the program you want to get into. A lot of medical ones look down on distance learning, especially if they lack an actual lab. If you want to do prosthetics, I don't see how they would let you get out of the bio science classes

I'm a computer engineer who isn't the best at calculus. So what I did is get a tutor who is a math major - it works. Engineering math isn't hard - at all, it is the damn extensiveness of a near useless calculus course, one could literally teach Calculus 1-3 as it applies to Engineers in one semester. Disk and Shell method are useless, as are the long, by-hand ways. I just gotta get through it and I'll be OK

I have to agree with most of the people in this post. As an engineering student myself, math and science are key focuses on becoming an engineer. In a general sense most engineers will need to have a solid focus on using basic differential equations which comes later in a calculus class. Anyway, I would suggest to get a tutor to help you get through those classes and I would recommend hands on lab classes but that is me. Good luck.

Thank you everyone for you advice, opinions and person experience. From the looks of it, there are a lot of classes that you can do online. Depending on the college/university that you attend, it varies on the lab credits. Some from what I see are that you have to attend weekly, a few are just final testing days, which does not make sense, unless you know what you are doing and you are just going through the hoops to get your degree.

Mechanical Engineer here! I graduate with my batchelors next spring! WOOT! Hey so yeah math is HUGE. Like all the engineering courses I've taken have been almost completely math. Or like machining crap. I love to tinker as well, and honestly, its not quite the same thing... It can be though, with patience. With tinkering I worried about numbers like maybe less than 10% of the time. But with actual engineering, its more like 60% or more of your time on a project is spent crunching numbers or drafting... On the bright side, you can make waaaayyyyy sweeter stuff by crunching those numbers and modelling than you could ever make by just tinkering away at something trial-and-error style. In all honesty: (lol, and because we're all otakus here) I say go for it, because there may very well be giant mechs out there when we are older, and if there are, then you get to be that guy who poses with the huge wrench and is all like, "ye."

I used to be a MechE before I switched majors. Strangely enough, I'm doing more MechE related work than before I switched... lol I think a good MechE is obviously good at math and science, but a great MechE is so much more. You can easily tell how good a MechE is by looking at their designs, which is a skill that they don't really teach you in school.
