Bachelor of Science - Electrical Engineering

Program Description

Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University's (ERAU) Bachelor of Science degree in Electrical Engineering provides an opportunity for students to develop a broad background in circuit theory, communication systems, computers, control systems and other areas needed for a professional career in electrical engineering.

At Embry-Riddle, right from the start students have hands-on design and assembly opportunities. During the first year, students in the Bachelors of Electrical Engineering degree program work with a team to build an autonomous robot that competes against other robotic systems to complete a defined task. The program emphasizes design, and culminates in a senior year capstone project that teams electrical engineering students with students from the aerospace and software engineering programs.

The Prescott Campus is home to both the state-of-the-art King Engineering and Technology Center and a student chapter of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers that has been recognized as the Outstanding IEEE Chapter in its region. The Prescott Campus also offers specialized labs, which students use right from the beginning of their ERAU education.

Graduates have specialized knowledge about avionics systems to prepare for positions in the aviation industry.
