Master of Science in
Electrical & Computer Engineering
High industry demand continues fueling this program, which allows students to gain the technical proficiency and the ability to execute systems-level design.
According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, electrical engineers and computer engineers both continue to have above-average job growth as well as strong starting and continuing salaries. The M.S. in Electrical and Computer Engineering program at Embry-Riddle provides students with the skills and knowledge necessary to work not only within the aviation/aerospace field but many others as well.
The Daytona Beach Campus is home to ERAU’s Eagle Flight Research Center, Green Garage and many state-of-the-art labs and computer facilities where students can take advantage of research opportunities and real-world projects.
M.S. in Electrical and Computer Engineering program faculty are experienced professionals who bring firsthand knowledge and conduct ongoing research in which students will participate.
Students select from a program concentration in either Electrical Engineering or Computer Engineering. In both areas, the program builds upon a foundation in linear systems, random processes, and systems engineering.
Applicants must have an undergraduate degree in electrical and/or computer engineering, another engineering discipline, computer science, or the physical sciences.
