Master of Science - Electrical and Computer Engineering

Program Description

Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University's Master of Science in Electrical and Computer Engineering prepares students for advanced careers in the aerospace industry. Like its undergraduate counterparts, it focuses on developing engineers who possess not only technical mastery but also the knowledge and ability to execute systems-level design, whether in avionics systems, spacecraft electronics, or more earthbound computer design.

The program allows the student to focus either on electrical engineering or computer engineering. For each area of concentration, the program begins with a foundation of courses in linear systems, random processes, and systems engineering. Then, each area has its own core: digital communications plus avionics & radio navigation comprise the electrical engineering core; project management and computer systems safety, the computer engineering core. The student can tailor each area of concentration toward either professional practice or further graduate study. For those inclined toward research and later doctoral studies, the program offers a thesis option. For those more interested in entering or returning to the workplace, there is a non-thesis option.

Like its undergraduate counterpart, this degree produces engineers who possess both technical proficiency and the ability to execute systems-level design. Graduates are prepared for leadership roles in either electrical engineering or computer engineering design.
