Bachelor of Science - Computer Engineering

Program Description

Ranked in the top 15 of Best Undergraduate Engineering Programs by U.S. News and World Report, the Computer Engineering degree at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University's (ERAU) Prescott Campus applies ERAU's traditional strengths in computer science and engineering with the emerging field of digital hardware and software applications, including:

• Cloud computing
• Computer vision
• Machine learning and artificial intelligence
• Navigation and control systems
• Cyber-physical systems
• Avionics systems

Students master programming languages, circuit theory and other knowledge and skills working with hands-on projects combining industry system design and development practices with the fundamentals of computer engineering.

The B.S. in Computer Engineering (BSCE) covers everything from analog electronic systems to high-level programming and operating systems. Students advance through courses that give them advanced knowledge in:

• Programming languages
• Digital and analog circuits
• Microprocessor systems
• Computer architecture
• Telecommunication systems
• Control systems
• Real-time systems
• Software engineering
• Hardware/software systems design and integration

Students at the Prescott Campus benefit from world-class facilities dedicated solely to undergraduate students and also have the opportunity to join the student chapter of the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE), which has been recognized as the outstanding student chapter in the Phoenix Region.

Students graduate with technical skills and real-world experiences and are prepared for in-demand roles after graduation, which is why employers continue to return to Embry-Riddle to hire the program’s graduates.

The Computer Engineering program is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET.
