Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University
At Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, what we do -- and do best --
is teach
the science, practice, and business of the world of aviation and
aerospace. Since it was founded just 22 years after the Wright
brothers' first flight, the University and its graduates have built an
enviable record of achievement in every aspect of aviation and
aerospace.
The curriculum at Embry-Riddle covers the operation, engineering,
research, manufacturing, marketing, and management of modern aircraft
and the systems that support them. The University engages in extensive
research, consulting, and related activities that address the unique
needs of aviation, aerospace, and related industries. Residential
campuses in Daytona Beach, Florida, and Prescott, Arizona, provide
education in a traditional setting, while an extensive network of more
than 130 centers throughout the United States and Europe and a
web-based distance learning program serve civilian and military
working adults.
BS in 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 and 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. The ABET accredited curriculum focuses on
vehicle design for air, space, land, or water.
Before graduating from the program, you will be able to combine
scientific theory with practical application and be capable of
applying economic analysis to the completion of a vehicle design
project. Embry-Riddle is the first university in the nation to have
students work with a revolutionary stereolithography laser-modeling
process. Within hours, students can create 3-D composite plastic
models using CAD (computer-aided design) instructions. This enables
them to mold their prototype, test it, and fly it in our wind and
smoke tunnels.
BS in Aerospace Studies
The Aerospace Studies provides the raw materials to design your future
as an innovator and a leader. Start with core courses in the
humanities, geography, international studies, philosophy, ethics, and
psychology. Then select and combine three minors from the classes
offered in our other degree programs. Choices include air traffic
control, business administration, aviation safety, weather, computer
applications, computer-integrated manufacturing, computer science,
environmental studies, flight, human factors, humanities, logistics,
mathematics, communications, psychology, secondary education, and
space studies.
BS in Computer Engineering
Computer engineers are in high demand the world over. 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. A bachelor's degree in computer engineering prepares the
student for life and work in the 21st century through the curriculum's
emphasis on information technologies.
BS in Computer Science
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. Opportunities to participate in research projects that
integrate software engineering with actual simulation and flight
systems are open to qualified students.
BS in Electrical Engineering
Embry-Riddle will prepare you for a career in electrical engineering
by providing you with a broad background in circuit theory,
communications systems, computers, control systems, electromagnetic
fields, energy sources, and systems, materials, and electronic
devices. Our specialization in electrical engineering will place you
in a unique position to secure employment in your field. The King
Engineering and Technology Center on the Prescott campus is home to
this program. It houses the circuits and electronics devices lab, the
digital circuits and microcomputer applications lab, the
analog/digital control system lab, and the power and electronics lab.
MS in Safety Science
The Master of Science in Safety Science (MSSS) degree program is
designed to provide the safety and aviation professional with an
experiential and practical educational experience to enhance the
practice of occupational health and safety. The degree will produce
safety professionals who are skilled in providing safety management
expertise, and who can provide leadership and guidance in compliance
issues involving EPA, OSHA, DOD, FAA, DOE and state health, hygiene,
and workplace standards.
These safety professionals will be prepared for service in either the
aviation/ aerospace industry or other industries and organizations.
The MSSS degree prepares graduates for several professional job
settings such as: director of safety in industry and in government,
operational and maintenance safety personnel, aviation or industrial
safety personnel, flight safety personnel, aircraft accident
investigators, designers, and manufacturers in technological
industries including aerospace. It offers an opportunity to explore
not only the theoretical, but the hands-on and pragmatic discipline
that occupational health and safety has become.
