Bachelor of Science in Engineering

The Bachelor of Science in Engineering (BSE) degree is designed from a multidisciplinary perspective with subject matter from mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, aeronautical, and systems engineering. The educational focus is anticipated to support the growth and innovative development of aerospace technologies and systems and address current industry challenges. The program educational objective is to graduate engineers that can enter into research, development, and design positions, function effectively on multidisciplinary teams, and contribute to the advancement in engineering-related projects upon graduation. 

The BSE targets secondary school and polytechnic graduates, in addition to non-traditional and transfer students, to provide knowledge, skills, and abilities (KSAs) correlating to comprehension and application of essential engineering concepts. The curriculum features: 19 hours of mathematics, 11 hours of calculus-based physics, 66 hours of engineering, 6 hours of a senior-level design project, and 21 hours of economics, communications, social sciences, and humanities. 

The BSE program is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, http://abet.org.

1 Time required to complete all degree program requirements may be less based on credit exemptions received through prior learning. The average time to complete all degree program requirements for a polytechnic diploma holder is 30 months.

Credit exemptions allow students to be exempted from specific course modules or requirements based on their previous academic achievements or professional experience. These exemptions acknowledge that students have already acquired the necessary knowledge or skills in a particular subject area, allowing them to focus on more advanced or specialized coursework. Credit exemptions involve a thorough evaluation of a student's transcripts, certificates, or other supporting documentation. Embry-Riddle will review these materials to determine if the prior learning or professional experience aligns with the degree requirements the student is pursuing. Credit exemptions are made on a case-by-case basis.

Polytechnic Diploma Holders

Most students holding a polytechnic diploma will receive at least 30 credit exemptions; however, many are eligible for more. The average number of exemptions a polytechnic diploma holder receives at Embry-Riddle is 45 credits.

Embry-Riddle has established articulation agreements with several institutes of higher learning in Singapore and the surrounding region. Visit Polytechnic Credit Exemptions page for an idea of how many exemptions are possible.

IB Diploma / GCE "A" Level Students

Pilots and Aircraft Engineers

Holders of a Pilot License and/or Licensed Aircraft Engineer License (A&P) are eligible for credit exemptions.

The cost of any degree program depends on how many credits a student must take to complete the degree requirements. In addition, ERAU-Asia Institute offers various scholarships and financial assistance options.
