RESEARCH HUB
The Birthplace of Bold Ideas Born as a school for teaching people how to fly, Embry-Riddle has evolved into an institution that guides the entire aviation industry toward a safer and more viable future. A growing emphasis on research at the College of Aviation plays a pivotal role.
With researchers and students engaged in “exponential thinking” day in and day out, new developments show no signs of slowing down. “College of Aviation faculty are playing a major role in what the future of the air transportation system will look like through their ongoing contributions to government, industry and the public good,” said Dr. Winter. Embry-Riddle is at the forefront of several landmark research initiatives across the country and beyond through two Centers for Excellence — TTHP (Technical Training Human Performance) and ASSURE (Alliance for System Safety of UAS through Research Excellence). As a globally recognized standard bearer for aviation safety management, the College of Aviation has assisted aviation leaders around the world in researching various operational issues.
“The college has positioned itself as the worldwide leader in aviation and aerospace scholarship and research,” said Dr. Scott Winter, Associate Dean of Research and Professor of Doctoral Studies. “The industry’s challenges of tomorrow will be solved by the research conducted today in the College of Aviation.” The new capabilities cut across the college’s five designated research focus areas: Aviation Safety Applied Aviation Human Factors Aviation Pedagogy Meteorology Uncrewed Aircraft Systems Researchers have access to 29 on-campus labs, a robust network of faculty and student researchers from across the university and an engaged group of industry partners who have worked alongside Embry-Riddle for decades. This combination of cutting-edge technology, interdisciplinary collaboration and open dialogue with industry enables the college to spearhead groundbreaking solutions to aviation’s most pressing challenges.
