Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering
Course Curriculum
The Bachelor of Science in Electrical
Engineering requires the successful completion
of a minimum of 129 credit hours.
Two tracks are available in the Embry-Riddle B.S. Electrical
Engineering program: Telecommunications and
Aerospace Systems. The first two years are common, so
students do not need to make a track decision
until the beginning of their third year.
The program provides you with a broad background in
 circuit theory
communication systems
computers
control systems
electromagnetic fields
energy sources and systems
electronic devices

*COM 219 is required in every degree for graduation.
However, students are advised to postpone COM 219 during
the first year in favor of one of the following courses based on
the field of interest of the student:
Electrical Engineering: CEC 220/2, Digital Circuit Design with lab, 4 credits.

Aerospace Systems Track
The modern aircraft is an assembly of a
wide spectrum of components all operating
together in a large and complex system. The
aircraft then operates in the National Airspace
System where it must operate in harmony
with other aircraft, air traffic management,
navigation, and safety systems all at a reasonable
cost. This example shows the importance
of systems engineering and the broad range of
subjects covered.
