Bachelor of Science - Software Engineering

Program Description

Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University's Bachelor of Science in Software Engineering degree program prepares students for a software engineering positions in industries ranging from aerospace to video game development.

With real-world, hands-on projects like flight control for autonomous aircraft or power control in a hybrid automobile, this program gives students a chance to develop the knowledge and skills they need to create, test, and evaluate software applications and systems. They also gain a clear understanding of network integrity and learn about the technical aspects of cyber security to keep those systems safe. 

This degree features an optional focus on cyber-security. Students who select this focus will be prepared to support government and industry needs for people skilled in software development as well as in cyber-security.

Students have access, and will use in their coursework, specialized and high-tech labs and facilities specific to the engineering field.

The curriculum includes courses in general education, math and science, and computing. The latter is divided into computing fundamentals, advanced concepts, applied computing, and software engineering. In addition, a student can acquire a minor or a concentration in a domain area of interest.

Students can also join academic competitions through the student branch of the Institute for Electrical and Electronics Engineers or with hosted competitions such as the Association of Unmanned Vehicle Systems International.

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