The COB and Its Partners: A Legacy of Impact in Aviation In 2023, the Worldwide College of Business worked with a number of industry partners to offer students valuable academic opportunities and to further the aviation and aerospace industries. Top highlights included:
Airport Partnerships The College of Business began relationships with several airports in the United States, particularly focusing on large- hub airports. Partnerships targeted four key areas: SMS reporting tool: This tool allows airports to report safety incidents to all participating airports. Research engagement: By conducting cutting-edge research on pertinent topics such as compensation to ensure equity across the industry, revenue management and public/private partnerships, the partnership connects innovation with operations. Training and education: This avenue allows Embry-Riddle to showcase its expertise in program creation and delivery, tailored to the specific needs of airports. Leadership and culture consulting: Airports have the opportunity to hire experts from the COB for cultural development and assessment, executive leadership training, leader coaching, new hire assessment and Six Sigma process improvement.
American Society for Engineering Management The Master of Science in Engineering Management program is aligned to recommended outcomes outlined by the American Society for Engineering Management (ASEM). While the program is not currently registered with ASEM, we may consider an ASEM-registered track in the future. We are also collaborating with ASEM to develop a project management certification for engineering managers. Applied Information Technology (AIT) SkillBridge The COB’s first Embry-Riddle-led cohort of the AIT SkillBridge launched in September 2022 at Camp Lejeune, North Carolina. This cohort is focused on Amazon Web Services and includes one Amazon technical certification within the program and prepares students for a second technical certification upon program completion. The project ended in 2023 and was pivoted to a major in the Bachelor of Science in Technical Management.
