Electrical Engineering: Brilliant Beginnings
Electrical engineering is one of the  newest
engineering fields. Yet, since its birth near the beginning of
the 20th Century, the impact made by the "young" science of electrical
engineering on the last century was huge. Can you imagine
life before the early electrical engineers figured out how to first handle
electricity and then provide it as a safe energy source for light and heat?
Radio, television, wired and
wireless communications, computers, satellites, and hundreds of other everyday
devices are the products of electrical engineering.
Electrical engineering is the foundation for many
technologies and it is poised to increase its base for many years to come.
Electronics will be the basis of most future engineering design. From deep
space vehicles to the family car, all forms of modern transportation rely on
advanced electronics to provide the high levels of reliability, efficiency,
and safety demanded by current regulations.
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.
Emphasis on design places the Embry-Riddle electrical engineering student
in a unique position to increase employment opportunities
after graduation.
The program culminates with
a senior
year capstone project that teams electrical engineering students
with students from the aerospace and software engineering programs to build
an aerospace system or subsystem.
Two tracks are available in the Electrical
Engineering program: Aerospace Systems, and a Telecommunications.
The first two years are common, so students don't need to make a track
decision until the beginning of their third year.
