COLLEGE OF AVIATION
Dean’s Message
Our college is known for skilled pilots, air traffic controllers, meteorologists and aviation maintenance technicians. Their talent is in high demand and it fills a skills gap that is critical to our economy. Our graduates also propel the industry forward — and safeguard the National Airspace System — as they advance the design and performance of space operations and uncrewed aircraft systems. We will continue to work with the aviation and aerospace industry to test, design and apply solutions that will move passengers, cargo and — perhaps one day — colonists to Mars, both safely and efficiently. That sky is not the limit for Embry-Riddle — it’s our starting place.
Dear friends and colleagues, “I love the smell of jet fuel in the morning.” So says a t-shirt I see every day on campus. I couldn’t agree more. But why just in the morning? One of the joys of being the Dean of the College of Aviation is that I am surrounded by people who share a passion for everything related to aviation. On the Daytona Beach Campus, we operate a busy flight line and fill six buildings with specialized classrooms, labs and simulators. In addition to our 14 College of Aviation degrees, ranging from associate degree programs to a Ph.D. in Aviation, our Colleges of Engineering, Business and Arts & Sciences also focus on the emerging challenges faced by a global industry. The resulting breadth of experience, perspectives and resources positions Embry-Riddle to make invaluable contributions to international safety, policy development, business best practices, the design of manned and unmanned systems and the art and science of flight.
Sincerely,
Alan J. Stolzer, Ph.D., FRAeS Dean of the College of Aviation
