#2The reason this is posted on HN is because Google doesn't seem to understand this query. Google comes up with entries such as "The 25 most affordable Engineering schools" or "The 50 best Engineering degree programs". If the cheapest "value" on these lists is around $12,000/yr, then that might be considered affordable by some people -- but I'm looking for the absolute cheapest. Please post if you know of an EE program in the U.S. or elsewhere that costs less than $12K/yr. I'm guessing people are afraid to post, because their answer might turn out to be "incorrect" by virtue of other posters posting yet cheaper alternatives. But please post! No answer is wrong for this! I'm just curious what the options are...

#3In Germany university is for free (except a half yearly sum around 270€) and we have some fairly good universities I believe.

It could be as cheap as free if you could qualify for this.

#5Education is free in Germany. If all courses in the degree are offered in English, you won't even have to learn German. You'll have to bear costs associated to moving here, of course.

#6Brazil: it's free and extremely high quality if you go to a place like USP, Unicamp or ITA. You didn't specify the language :) these places are hard to get into though; it's common for people to spend 3+ years studying so they can get approved in one of those.

#8I would have to guess that the best value is Germany.
Darmstadt is a lovely little fun, hip town and they have a reputable engineering school at TU:

There is a lot of scholarship money to fund your living expenses here: https://www.tu-darmstadt.de/international/home/funding/index...
But the actual costs are very low. A few hundred dollars a semester. I can't find the one for EE bachelors but here are some ballpark figures for comparative programs:

You literally want the cheapest degree possible? No consideration for value or quality whatsoever?
You can probably find some institution somewhere in the world which will give you a degree that is legal according to their local laws for $5 and no time. Is that what you want?
But even cheaper than that in terms of money would be free via a full scholarship, which you can get any many institutions if you're good enough. But then that costs you a lot of time.
