Electrical Engineering: Brilliant Beginnings

Electrical engineering is one of the wires and inlet jacks newest engineering fields. Yet, since its birth near the beginning of the 20th Century, the impact made by the "young" science of electrical engineering on the last century was huge. Can you imagine life before the early electrical engineers figured out how to first handle electricity and then provide it as a safe energy source for light and heat?

Radio, television, wired and wireless communications, computers, satellites, and hundreds of other everyday devices are the products of electrical engineering. Electrical engineering is the foundation for many technologies and it is poised to increase its base for many years to come.

Electronics will be the basis of most future engineering design. From deep space vehicles to the family car, all forms of modern transportation rely on advanced electronics to provide the high levels of reliability, efficiency, and safety demanded by current regulations.

Embry-Riddle will prepare you for a career in electrical engineering by providing you with a broad background in circuit theory, communications systems, computers, control systems, electromagnetic fields, energy sources, and systems, materials, and electronic devices.

Emphasis on design places the Embry-Riddle electrical engineering student in a unique position to increase employment opportunities after graduation. The program culminates with a senior year capstone project that teams electrical engineering students with students from the aerospace and software engineering programs to build an aerospace system or subsystem.

Two tracks are available in the Electrical Engineering program: Aerospace Systems, and a Telecommunications. The first two years are common, so students don't need to make a track decision until the beginning of their third year.
