ERAU Computer Engineering and Electrical Engineering

The Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering degree gives the student the opportunity to acquire a broad background in computer design, including embedded control systems, real-time systems, telecommunication systems, and software engineering. The program’s emphasis on real-time embedded control systems and hardware/software interfaces provides program graduates employment opportunities beyond graduates of traditional computer engineering degree programs, including positions in the aerospace and defense industries.

The Bachelor of Science degree in Electrical Engineering is a systems oriented program of study including analog and digital circuits, communication systems, computers, control systems, electromagnetic fields, energy sources and systems, and electronic/avionics materials and devices. In addition the student also gains specialization in avionics appropriate for entry-level electrical engineering positions in the aerospace industry.

Engineering at Embry-Riddle blends theory with hands-on application. Undergraduate students in Electrical Engineering and Computer Engineering have direct access to laboratories and facilities where they gain practical experience. King Engineering and Technology Center houses a variety of labs used by the electrical and computer engineering students, including Communications, Control Theory, Digital Circuits and Power Labs, Autonomous Vehicles Design Suite and Senior Design Suite. The Embry-Riddle Machine Vision Lab, also located in the King Center, specializes in applied research and development leading to the advancement of robust solutions for machine vision, machine perception and robotics applications. The lab has developed a number of new technologies that are finding their way to commercialization. Among the lab's many accomplishments are the first interactive hologram and the first interactive 3D LCD.

Senior Computer Engineering and Electrical Engineering students have the chance to apply their accumulated knowledge in a culminating design project. Students work as a team to model engineering design in industry as they conceptualize, define, and build an aerospace system or subsystem.
