A LAB LIKE NO OTHER The Aerospace Experimentation and Fabrication Building, also known as the AXFAB, gives engineering students on the Prescott Campus a leading-edge facility where they can manufacture, assemble and test their projects. At the heart of the AXFAB is a fully equipped machine shop, outfitted with separate areas for welding, painting, machining and materials layout, with a qualified machinist on duty to help students use the equipment safely. The AXFAB is home to labs for Space Systems, Structural Dynamics, Materials Science, Structure and Instrumentation, Materials and Structures Testing, Uncrewed Aerial Systems and Rocket Development.
BACHELOR OF SCIENCE IN AEROSPACE ENGINEERING
Embry-Riddle’s undergraduate Aerospace Engineering program in Prescott was ranked No. 1 by U.S. News & World Report in 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021 and 2025 — and yet we strive to get better every day.
The coursework provides a foundation in aerodynamics, space systems, electrical fundamentals, computer applications and design. This leads to a senior-year capstone project that integrates all of their knowledge and skills and demonstrates they are more than prepared to start careers in their chosen disciplines. Embry-Riddle’s graduates enjoy a high effective placement rate, with 95% of graduates employed or continuing their education within a year of graduating.
Our students benefit from the state-of- the-art resources only Embry-Riddle can provide. They work with the same tools used by aerospace engineers around the world and take advantage of classes and labs that are designed with real-world industry needs in mind. Aerospace Engineering at the Prescott Campus offers two distinct tracks: Aeronautical (aircraft) and Astronautical (spacecraft) and gives students the skills and experience to solve the most complex challenges in design, propulsions and systems.
From their first day, students start solving critical problems and finding innovative answers. Through dynamic courses, cutting-edge technology and connections to some of the most iconic aerospace companies in the industry, Embry-Riddle students learn on-the-job engineering principles and start building a professional network within their first year. All Aerospace Engineering students attend classes in engineering-related labs and facilities and frequently work one-on-one with faculty on research projects and activities that have real-life applications.
