Degrees
Bachelor's Degrees in the College of Engineering
Aerospace Engineering
The Aerospace Engineering program at Embry-Riddle is the largest in the United States and is recognized as the nation's premier program by U.S. News&World Report. The curriculum provides you with specific aerospace design skills and a broad exposure to theory, modern analysis, measurement, and communications and computational techniques essential to the profession.
Civil Engineering
Civil engineering students study the design and fabrication of transportation components, and learn how to integrate those components in and around airports and future spaceports. As a student, in addition to airport design, you will learn to manage problems relating to merging points of air and land transportation systems.
Computer Engineering
The program at Embry-Riddle is a unique application of Embry-Riddle's traditional strengths in computer science and engineering and the emerging field of distance education. Students acquire a broad background in computing machinery, concentrating on programming languages, circuit theory, embedded control systems, real-time systems and software engineering.
Electrical Engineering 
The Bachelor of Science degree in Electrical Engineering provides the opportunity to acquire a broad background in circuit theory, communication systems, computers, control systems, electromagnetic fields, energy sources and systems, and electronic devices. With an emphasis on design, the culmination of the program is 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. The student also gains specialization in avionics appropiate for entry-level positions in industry.
Mechanical Engineering 
Modern advances in mechanical engineering span from the very small, such as nanotechnology and micro-electromechanical systems, (MEMS), to the vastness of space systems. The Mechanical Engineering program at Embry-Riddle provides a strong foundation in basic engineering allowing the student to effectively study the latest technology in several strength areas, including robotics and high-performance vehicles. The curriculum is a balance of theory and practice, encompassing aerodynamics, structures, propulsion, controls, materials, instrumentation, electrical fundamentals, computer applications, and design.
Software Engineering
Money magazine has ranked computer science number one in its list of "The Best Jobs in America." In aviation, as in other areas, the demand for personnel is growing faster than the supply. You will study new technology in graphics, simulation, software engineering, artificial intelligence, and Ada, the primary aviation and aerospace computer language.
Master's Degrees in the College of Engineering
Aerospace Engineering
Candidates may choose from two degree options: the Master of Aerospace Engineering (non-thesis program) or the Master of Science in Aerospace Engineering (thesis program). Both programs provide formal post-baccalaureate study in areas of knowledge required by engineers engaged in aircraft/aerospace-oriented research, development, and design activities.
Software Engineering
The goal of the program is to provide recent college graduates, or college graduates who have had several years of professional experience, in-depth understanding of the tools, techniques, and disciplined engineering practices that are needed to be successful in the rapidly changing field of software engineering. Graduates of the program can rapidly assume positions of substantial responsibility within a software development organization.
