Bachelor of Science in
Electrical Engineering
The Bachelor of Science degree in Electrical Engineering provides students with the opportunity to acquire a broad background in circuit theory, communication systems, computers, control systems, electromagnetic fields, energy sources and systems, and electronic devices. Emphasis on design places Embry-Riddle Electrical Engineering students in a unique position to increase employment opportunities after graduation. 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.
Throughout Electrical Engineering studies, students are educated in the discipline’s theory and receive practical hands-on experience, culminating with the highly regarded senior capstone course that follows the development cycle of an actual engineering project.
Emphasis on design and laboratory experience ensures that the Embry-Riddle electrical engineering graduate is in a preferred position to enter industry practice or graduate school after completing the program.
ERAU faculty who are leading experts in avionics and systems engineering immerse students in real-world scenarios and empower them to think as an engineer.
The Electrical Engineering program is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, https://www.abet.org/.
Students may take advantage of the opportunity to join professional associations such as the student chapter of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA), Society of Women Engineers (SWE), Amateur Radio Club, and the Satellite Development Club.

About Electrical Engineering at the Daytona Beach, FL Campus
The B.S. in Electrical Engineering degree program at our Daytona Beach Campus gives students advanced knowledge of industry practices that give them a leg up on their professional career. Housed in the Electrical, Computer, Software, and Systems Engineering (ECSSE) Department of the College of Engineering, this program can be taken with a track in avionics or in aerospace systems, or it can be taken without specification. The program is built around hands-on projects like the telemetry system of autonomous aircraft or power switching for a hybrid car. With this real-world experience under their belts, graduates enter the workforce ready to make a difference in the modern world.
- Students begin this program by completing the College of Engineering’s Freshman Engineering Program. The program includes a general education core of Speech and College Success, introductions to engineering and computing, plus courses in calculus and analytical geometry, and physics for engineers.
- "Systems thinking" is a component of all ECSSE undergraduate programs: That's knowing how the parts of a system, the modules and the subsystems, fit together to make a finished system. When a program graduate enters the industry, they understand how what they're working on is part of a bigger whole. Systems thinking is highly valued by employers.
- The department sponsors two term-away programs: Students may study in Europe (France, Poland, or Czech Republic) or in Brazil.
- Exceptional students in the B.S. in Electrical Engineering are invited to apply to the Accelerated Master of Science in Electrical and Computer Engineering. This program enables students to pursue the master’s degree with only one additional year of studies beyond the bachelor’s degree. Learn more about our Combined and Accelerated Degree Programs.
The Bachelor of Science degree in Electrical Engineering provides the student with the opportunity to acquire a broad background in circuit theory, communication systems, computers, control systems, electromagnetic fields, energy sources and systems, and electronic devices. Emphasis on design places the Embry-Riddle Electrical Engineering student in a unique position to increase employment opportunities after graduation.
Three tracks are available in the Electrical Engineering program: Avionics, Aerospace Systems, and Non-Track. The first year and a half are common, with a one course difference so students do not need to make a track decision until the beginning of their third year.
In a few years of completing their undergraduate degree, graduates of the Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering:
-
Will establish themselves in successful aerospace, aviation, and engineering careers and/or will be pursuing advanced degrees;
-
Will be serving society and their professions as involved and responsible citizens, leaders, and role models by demonstrating strong values, high ethical standards, and integrity;
-
Will have reputations as practical problem solvers, systems thinkers, innovators, and as those who are curious and have a continued interest in learning
The Electrical Engineering program is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, http://www.abet.org.

Accelerated MSECE Option
Exceptional students in undergraduate engineering programs, including the Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering program, are invited to apply to the Accelerated Master of Science Option in Electrical and Computer Engineering. This program enables students to pursue a MSECE degree with only one additional year of studies beyond the BS degree. For additional details, see the Accelerated MSECE section of the catalog.
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.
