Careers

I Want to DESIGN Aircraft / Spacecraft, Systems or Airports

There are a wide variety of disciplines required in the design and creation of
aeronautical or space technology.

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.

Aviation Environmental Science

The Aviation Environmental Science program gives students precisely the knowledge and technical skills needed to tackle the environmental and safety problems found in the aviation and aerospace industry.The AES degree features two areas of concentration: applied environmental science and environmental management. The AES degree is like no other environmental program in the world. The program will allow its graduates to ensure their employing companies become environmentally aware and compliant and advise businesses and local government agencies on crucial environmental issues.

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 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.

Electrical Engineering

Embry-Riddle will prepare you for a career in electrical engineering by providing you with a broad background in circuit theory, communication systems, computers, control systems, electromagnetic fields, energy sources, and systems, materials, and electronic devices. With an emphasis on design, the culmination of the program is 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.

Mechanical Engineering

The Mechanical Engineering Degree Program at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University Prescott Campus provides a strong undergraduate education with a focus on the design of propulsion systems or robotic systems such as autonomous ground, air or space vehicles. The curriculum combines a strong emphasis on the fundamentals of engineering with integrated analysis and design topics. Numerous hands-on lab and design experiences provide students the opportunity to use their knowledge, test their analysis, and work in a team environment. This prepares an Embry-Riddle graduate with the tools, experience, and education to be effective in the workplace whether that is in industry, government, or academia.

Safety Science

As a student in this cutting-edge science, you'll be examining issues relating to health, hygiene, safety compliance, workplace standards, and the environment. As a graduate, you'll be poised to assume opportunities in industry, government and research. The Prescott campus offers a master's degree in Safety should you choose to continue your educational pursuits beyond the bachelor's level.
