Embry‑Riddle's undergraduate degree in Electrical Engineering is offered in person at residential campuses in Daytona Beach, Florida, and Prescott, Arizona.
Studying Electrical Engineering on campus gives students strong hands-on experience through modern labs, team-based projects, and real-world engineering applications, while small class sizes make it easier to work closely with professors and participate in research.
At the Daytona BeachCampus, the Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering, housed in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science in the College of Engineering, equips students to handle systems thinking, circuit theory, and control systems. Courses are built around hands-on experience, such as exploring the telemetry system of an autonomous aircraft or power switching in a hybrid car. The program includes a general education core, including speech and college success, introductions to engineering and computing, plus courses in calculus, analytical geometry, and physics for engineers. The Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, under the commission’s General Criteria and Program Criteria for Electrical, Computer, Communications, Telecommunication(s), and Similarly Named Engineering Programs.
At the Prescott Campus, the B.S. in Electrical Engineering is located in the Department of Computer, Electrical, and Software Engineering in the College of Engineering, home to the state-of-the-art King Engineering and Technology Center. Students will have the opportunity to develop a broad background in circuit theory, communication systems, computers, and control systems. This program emphasizes design, culminating in a senior-year capstone project that pairs Electrical Engineering students with students from other disciplines. The Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, www.abet.org, under the commission’s General Criteria and Program Criteria for Electrical, Computer, Communications, Telecommunication(s), and Similarly Named Engineering Programs.
Program-Level Student Learning Outcomes
Students will:
Have an ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences.
Have an ability to function effectively on a team whose members together provide leadership, create a collaborative environment, establish goals, plan tasks, and meet objectives.
Have an ability to apply engineering design to produce solutions that meet specified needs with consideration of public health, safety, and welfare, as well as global, cultural, social, environmental, and economic factors.
Have an ability to identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics.
Have an ability to recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering situations and make informed judgments, which must consider the impact of engineering solutions in global, economic, environmental, and societal contexts.
Have an ability to develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions.
Have an ability to acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies.

Program Details
The Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering program requires successful completion of a minimum of 126 credit hours. The program may be completed in eight semesters, or four years, assuming appropriate background and full-time enrollment. Students pursuing this undergraduate degree must earn a minimum cumulative grade point average (CGPA) of 2.00 for all work completed at the University. The program offers a Space Option and a Robotics Track for students seeking specialized study in those areas. A minimum cumulative grade point average of 2.00 is needed in all CESC, CPSC, ELEC, ENGR, and ESCI courses that fulfill any degree requirement. The courses necessary to earn this degree are listed below.
Students should be aware that many courses have prerequisites and/or corequisites. Electrical Engineering students must earn a grade of C or better in all prerequisite courses for required courses with the CPSC, CESC, ELEC, ENGR, ESCI, or SFTW prefixes. Students are responsible for ensuring that all prerequisite and degree requirements are met prior to enrollment in advanced coursework.
General Education
Embry-Riddle degree programs require students to complete a minimum of 36 hours of General Education coursework. For a full description of Embry-Riddle General Education guidelines, please see the General Education section of this catalog.
Students may choose other classes outside of their requirements, but doing so can result in the student having to complete more than the degree's 126-128 credit hours. This will result in additional time and cost to the student.
The following course of study outlines the quickest and most cost-efficient route for students to earn their B.S. in Electrical Engineering. Students are encouraged to follow the course of study to ensure they complete all program required courses and their prerequisites within four years.
