Bachelor of Science in
Engineering
For students interested in a career in engineering, the future looks bright. According to the US Bureau of Labor and Statistics, the demand for engineers is expected to grow at least 11 percent by 2023. At Embry-Riddle, we’re preparing our students to help fill the demand for engineers with the new Bachelor of Science in Engineering degree at our Worldwide Campus.
Designed from a multidisciplinary perspective with subject matter ranging from mechanical, electrical, aeronautical and systems engineering, the program intends to help graduates bridge the gap across disciplines to explore innovation solutions to many tasks.
When students study at the Worldwide & Online Campus, they become members of the ERAU community, complete with its many networking opportunities.

The Bachelor of Science in Engineering (BSE) degree is designed from a multidisciplinary perspective with subject matter from mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, aeronautical, and systems engineering. The educational focus is anticipated to support the growth and innovative development of aerospace technologies and systems and address current industry challenges. The program educational objective is to graduate engineers that can enter into research, development, and design positions, function effectively on multidisciplinary teams, and contribute to the advancement in engineering-related projects upon graduation.
The BSE targets the high-school graduate, in addition to non-traditional and transfer students, to provide knowledge, skills, and abilities (KSAs) correlating to comprehension and application of essential engineering concepts. The curriculum features: 19 hours of mathematics, 10 hours of calculus-based physics, 66 hours of engineering, 6 hours of a senior level design project, and 27 hours of economics, communications, social sciences, and humanities.
Program-Specific Criteria
Admissions Criteria
In addition to meeting the Worldwide Campus admissions requirements, applicants for admission into the BS in Engineering degree program must:
- Complete the English and Math Skills Assessments prior to admission to demonstrate academic preparedness for immediate entry into ENGL 123 English Composition and MATH 241 Calculus I.
- Current high school students and recent graduates under the age of 20 must meet established admissions requirements and demonstrate a 3.0 high school CGPA, with coursework that reflects 4 years of college preparatory mathematics and 2 years of college preparatory science, including a laboratory science.
- Transfer applicants must meet established admissions requirements and demonstrate a 2.5 cumulative grade point average (CGPA); transfer credit deemed equivalent to demonstrate academic preparedness for immediate entry into ENGL 123 English Composition and MATH 241 Calculus I, will be considered for admission into the program. Skills Assessment scores will be used for advising purposes if English and Math transfer credit demonstrates academic preparedness for admission into the program.
Students who fail to satisfy the guidelines for full admission may be granted conditional admission under circumstances determined by the Admissions Office. A written petition for admission, current resume and other supporting documentation will be requested for consideration of conditional admission.
Current Worldwide students requesting a change of program to the BS in Engineering degree program must complete the English and Math Skills Assessments and place into ENGL 123 and MATH 241; OR demonstrate transfer credit reflecting academic preparedness for immediate entry into ENGL 123 and MATH 241; OR successfully complete Embry-Riddle prerequisite coursework for immediate entry into ENGL 123 (ENGL 106) and MATH 241 (MATH 142 or 143).
