Software Engineering

Overview

The keystone of the Software Engineering program from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University is developing software systems for some of the world’s most sophisticated and demanding applications, like those found in aircraft, spacecraft, and medical systems.

From small classes and high-tech labs, to internationally renowned faculty with experience in the fields of high-dependability software, quality assurance, and embedded real-time systems, ERAU has much to offer.

The Master of Science in Software Engineering program has achieved 100 percent placement of its graduates within one year of program completion. And since the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics foresees software engineering as one of the fastest-growing occupations in coming years, those with advanced degrees will be in high demand.

About Software Engineering at the Daytona Beach

Housed in the Department of Electrical, Computer, Software, and Systems Engineering in the College of Engineering, the M.S. in Software Engineering degree program is designed to give college graduates an opportunity to enhance their careers and work on the cutting edge of modern software development, and thus move into positions of responsibility in software development organizations. The process-centered quantitative approach to the course work in the degree program not only gives students the technical tools and techniques they need but also skills in communication, group interaction, and management.

The program emphasizes the engineering of real-time embedded software systems encountered in such applications as FAA air traffic control computer systems, aircraft avionics, and similar systems.
