The main objective of this paper is to examine the complexity of creating an online education system aimed at engineering and working professionals displaced by automation in the near future. Online classes are becoming more popular among universities and community colleges for their lower costs, ease of access, and geographically diverse student body. Although online classes are being adopted in higher education there are still problems to cope with this technology driven educational model. This research paper investigates these factors and their relationships affecting online education. Exploration of the factors affecting online education produced unsurmountable issues which led to the conclusion of a hybrid education system that would be superior to both online and current education systems
