Degrees

BS in Aerospace Electronics

The Aerospace Electronics Degree is designed to provide the requisite knowledge to excel in the fields of applied aerospace electronic engineering and technical support of aerospace vehicles and systems. General education requirements include mathematics, science, communications, and other applicable subjects. This balanced approach to education enables the graduate to apply techniques of critical thinking and problem solving to a logical result in challenging situations. Systems and Logistics area provides the requisite knowledge to enter the engineering fields of maintainability, reliability, test and evaluation, field service, aerospace electronic systems integration and design, and integrated logistics support. The Operations and Support option provides the knowledge required to enter the fields associated with the operation, administration, support, and marketing of aerospace vehicles and systems.

BS in Aircraft Engineering Technology

The Aircraft Engineering Technology (ACET) offered by ERAU at the Daytona Beach campus is accredited by the Accreditation Board of Engineering and Technology. Students are exposed to a broad range of engineering and technology-oriented courses. Serving as a bridge between the engineer and the technician, engineering technologists are involved in all aspects of engineering support and logistics. Fundamental study in mathematics and the natural sciences form the foundation for higher-level courses which are directly correlated to applications within the aerospace industry.

Basic and advanced level ACET courses examine fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, CAD, layout, detail, and assembly of aircraft. To validate the theoretical principles taught in the classroom, students test analytical techniques for determining loads and stresses, manufacturing processes and materials, and the design and application of mechanical components and instruments. Modern laboratories offer hands-on experience in aircraft structure and propulsion systems, wind tunnel testing, and more. During their junior and senior years, students are encouraged to enroll in Embry Riddle's Cooperative Education program and earn credits toward the ACET degree while working in industry.

BS in Avionics Engineering Technology

The Avionics Engineering Technology program supports technical theory by providing a strong foundation in science, mathematics and general education. By understanding and appreciating the social, economic, and ecological factors that affect technology, graduates are better prepared to solve problems and make future industrial decisions.

The curriculum is designed to meet both the current and future needs of aviation and related industries. The program is sensitive to the ever changing technologies associated with avionics and provides the graduate with the ability to assume positions of responsibility with minimal additional training.
