WELCOME TO UNDERGRADUATE RESEARCH INSTITUTE (URI) DISCOVERY 2026 Our mission at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University is to be the world leader in aviation and aerospace higher education. We teach the science, practice and business of aviation and aerospace, preparing students for productive careers and leadership roles in business, government agencies and the military. Here at our Prescott Campus, we focus on undergraduate education and emphasize problem-based discovery as we strengthen our reputation as a top-ranked destination for undergraduate STEM programs. As you visit our campus, I’m sure you will be impressed with our cutting- edge research labs, simulation facilities and observatories. I hope you also have a chance to meet our talented faculty and amazing staff. As you do so, I think you will recognize, as I have, that our dedicated and passionate students are what make our university and campus so special. From record-breaking rocket launches to developing cyber competitions for regional high schools, our students and their research interests will fuel the future of the aviation, aerospace and space industries. Thank you for joining us as we celebrate undergraduate research and scholarship during our Prescott Campus URI Discovery 2026 events. I encourage you to engage with our students as they proudly display the results of their hard work.
