The 2021 American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA) Design, Build, Fly competition required teams to construct an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) with a towed sensor. With this year’s competition being held virtually, teams from around the globe submitted video entries showing the design, construction and performance of their aircraft. The Daytona Beach team placed third for its submission, a Sensor Towing Air Tractor (STAT). The aircraft featured a conventional, twin-motor design and a sensor with tail fins towed below and behind the aircraft using deployment and retraction mechanisms. “The annual competition teaches our students about the essential engineering trade-offs in aircraft design to meet specific flight performance and mission requirements, similar to the actual aeronautical design problems faced by the industry,” said Aerospace Engineering professor and Daytona Beach faculty advisor J. Gordon Leishman.
The Prescott team received eighth place for its submission, Project Aquila. The team’s Integrated Product Team leads consisted of Aerospace Engineering students David Aksenfeld (’22), Evan Hefflin (’22), Jacob Kaufmann (’23) and Andrew Rogan (’22). Many of the team’s upper echelon were veterans from the year prior whose competition was cut short by the pandemic. “For the design of our plane, our main objective was to keep things simple,” said team project manager, Gavin McDaniel (’22). “We had proven last year that a high, conventional winged airframe constructed from laser-cut plywood and carbon fiber tubing met all of the checkmarks: it was capable, it was strong and it was quick to produce.” Altogether, the team built five aircraft throughout the spring semester, including an early aerodynamic test model.

HANDS-ON EXPERIENCES ///
Limitless Use Veracka’s work aims to develop a material that can stretch and self-heal, two characteristics that are somewhat opposed to each other, he said. By finding just the right balance in the chemical components of the material, he envisions a wide range of applications, including self-healing space habitats that would be resilient against space debris and damage.
Bright Ideas Jenkins is a member of the Solar Studz team, which developed an award-winning plan to bring cost-effective, renewable solar energy to the University of Nebraska.
A Perfect Match Karnes channeled her passion for aviation into the air traffic control area of the industry, as she was drawn to the fast- paced environment and swift decision-making it requires.
Broader Approach I wanted to differentiate myself from many engineers who are strictly focused on technical aspects of projects and take a broader approach to engineering by learning more about project management, finance, marketing and the many offerings made available by our College of Business.
Big Dreams Having also assisted with COVID-19 response efforts and shadowing health providers, Veracka is intent on attending medical school and becoming a physician or surgeon.

Point Guard’s Pursuit of Excellence Mechanical Engineering and MBA student Elijah Jenkins has a championship mindset both on and off the court. From leading the Eagles Men’s Basketball team to its first ever NCAA tournament bid to being part of the winning U.S. Department of Energy Solar District Cup team, the 4.0 student-athlete has always strived for success. “The championship aspirations held by Embry-Riddle’s athletic programs are paralleled by similar goals in the classroom and in life,” he said. “Being surrounded by that level of commitment and desire impacted the way I approach every single day of my life.” Jenkins graduated with a bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering in May and is now pursuing his MBA in Aviation. He hopes to explore career opportunities in renewable energy engineering as a project manager.
Flying Full Circle A supportive group of faculty and peers helped Lucia Karnes continue her education while serving overseas in the Army. Karnes began her Eagle journey in the Air Traffic Management program. While earning her bachelor’s, she set the foundation for her career as a cadet in Embry-Riddle’s Army ROTC unit. After graduating and gaining some work experience, she joined the U.S. Army. While overseas, she decided it was time to rejoin Embry-Riddle to pursue her M.S. in Unmanned Systems. Although military life presents its own obstacles, Karnes said that professors and other students were very understanding of the constraints she had. “If I had chosen a school that didn’t have as much military involvement, I don’t know that the same level of flexibility would have been easy to come by.” She’s now advancing her civilian career as a division manager for Boeing Intelligence & Analytics, where she works with aviation navigation for U.S. pilots.
A Passion for Research Aerospace Physiology student John Veracka recently presented research on a new polymer at the national 2021 Posters on the Hill undergraduate research conference. Veracka’s research project, focused on an innovative polymer for use in aerospace settings and soft electronics, was one of 60 selected among hundreds of entries in the conference. His research involves creating a material that can stretch and self-heal, which could be utilized in space and here on Earth. While existing self-healing materials often require a specific environment to work, Veracka hopes to create a material that can be self sufficient. From self-healing space environments to car paint, phones and diabetic sensors, this polymer has the potential for a wide range of uses. “If you make the extra effort, take the extra step, work hard and ask important questions, then you will be rewarded,” he said. “You’ll be able to conduct amazing research here at Embry-Riddle.”

Choreographing a Career Path With Embry-Riddle, Computational Mathematics junior Lillian Borchardt can choreograph her own unique learning experience — and dance routines. “One of my favorite things about math is how applicable it is to any position,” Borchardt said. While building a strong foundation in mathematics, her minors in Computer Science and Space Studies allow her to explore her interests in rapidly advancing technology, concepts of space exploration and more. Outside of the classroom, Borchardt is a lifelong dancer with experience in hip-hop, contemporary, ballet and jazz. Joining the Dancing Eagles gave her a creative outlet on campus and an opportunity to reconnect with her love for the performing arts. Her career goals range from building neural networks for machine learning to researching solutions to the loss of bone density in space. She also hopes to one day teach math and inspire the next generation of students.
Out-of-This-World Discoveries Not many students can say they have double-majored in Computer Engineering and Space Physics, but Parker Landon sure can. Landon wasted no time taking advantage of the abundant research opportunities offered at Embry-Riddle. She started working with the Astrodynamic Software Development Team during her first semester. “I focused on developing a program to create 3D models of asteroids and their gravitational fields in our Julia Language Ephemeris Reader,” she said. “My mentor, Dr. Kaela Martin, helped me to develop my coding and mathematics skills for this project.” With the help of the Ephemeris Reader, her team can read databases filled with what Landon likes to call “the roadmap of the solar system.” This gives them access to the locations and speeds of celestial bodies such as planets, moons and even asteroids. The Astrodynamic Software Development Team was the first team to create a publicly available Julia Language Reader of this type, said Landon. They were even able to publish and present their one-of-a-kind work at AIAA SciTech 2020 in Orlando, Florida.
All-in With Aviation Anna Scott’s first takeoff at the controls of a Cessna 172 pretty much charted her future course. Now, she’s making the most of her Embry-Riddle experience in the air and on the ground. The Aeronautical Science major was elected as the chief pilot of the award-winning Golden Eagles Flight Team for the 2021-22 season and was one of several female fliers from Embry-Riddle to compete in the 2021 Air Race Classic collegiate competition in June. Scott also serves as the social media and membership chair for the Granite Mountain Ninety-Nines, a chapter of the international group that offers networking and scholarships to help support female pilots. Thanks to Embry-Riddle, her future in flight becomes closer every day. “When I went all-in with aviation, I knew I made the right decision,” she said. “I feel the same way about coming to Embry-Riddle.”

Soaring Into a Dream Career
In early 2020, she also presented a TEDx Talk at the Prescott Campus titled “How Women Can Change the Future of the Aviation Industry.” As a strong advocate for closing the gender gap in the aviation industry, she hopes to encourage more women to join aviation as she continues her career as a pilot. Amir was hired by SkyWest Airlines in 2020, but unfortunately, the pandemic put a pause on her training. A year later, she was called back to complete her training and fulfill her goal of working on the flight deck. At the beginning of April 2021, her dream finally came to fruition when she flew her first route with passengers on board. Her advice for women interested in aviation? “Get outside of your comfort zone and go after your dreams because you only live once. If you don’t try, you won’t know.”
ONLINE CLASSES /// Students complete assignments, join discussions, study and ask questions on their own schedule. Courses are divided into nine week-long modules. Classwork takes eight to 12 hours per week. Students manage their time and resources while earning their degree. Faculty members use technology and gamification to enhance your learning experience.
Aeronautics student Adva Amir (’22) arrived in the U.S. four years ago to begin her journey to become a pilot and has been making her mark on the aviation community ever since. One of Amir’s accomplishments has been co-founding Direct, a company that seeks to make air travel as casual as hailing a taxi. Along with her business partners, she hopes to create a platform that will help commuters reach their destination on their own schedules.

Zoe Brand (’23) discovered a knack for taking things apart and putting them back together as a member of her high school’s robotics team. Paired with her passion for aviation and space, Embry-Riddle was a perfect fit for the aspiring engineer. “The Mechanical Engineering program prepares you for the industry by allowing you to work one-on-one with highly skilled machinists, teaching you to understand the manufacturing behind your design,” Brand said. With a specialization in Propulsion, she focuses on thermal analysis and design- ing regeneratively cooled rocket engines. Along with numerous research projects, Brand is a former vice president of the Rocket Development Lab and currently serves as the chief engineer of Mountain Spirit, a student-built liquid rocket designed to reach the Kármán line.
“When I started at Embry-Riddle, I didn’t know anything about rocket engines,” she said. “Through the Rocket Development Lab and research with my professors, I have been able to design, develop and test liquid rocket engines before the end of my sophomore year.” In February, Brand was one of two Eagles and 44 students nationwide to receive the 2021 Brooke Owens Fellowship, a program that aims to promote gender diversity in the aerospace industry. As a fellow, she was awarded a paid professional internship with SpaceX in Hawthorne, California. Brand spent her summer as a member of the propulsion components testing team and worked to track down anomalies in projects ranging from the Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy rockets to Starship, a fully reusable, heavy-lift launch vehicle. Equipped with a scuba certification and working toward a private pilot’s license, Brand isn’t limiting herself to making discoveries on land. She dreams of eventually becoming an astronaut to aid in space exploration and sustaining life on other planets.
