Dear friends and colleagues, Since 1978, our mission at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical
The College of Engineering’s focus on hands-on, real-world learning for undergraduate students truly differentiates our graduates. Often, our students participate in research and team projects in conjunction with leading industry partners. From the Cygnus Suborbitals team, who launched a liquid-fueled rocket that reached a record-setting altitude of 47,732 feet (more than doubling the previous U.S. collegiate amateur liquid rocket record of 22,000 feet), to the EagleSat student club responsible for designing, developing and testing CubeSats and the associated ground station, payloads and software, Embry-Riddle undergraduates are making amazing contributions to our aerospace and aviation communities. Efforts such as these have ultimately resulted in our graduates securing positions at leading aerospace companies such as SpaceX, Blue Origin and Firefly Aerospace. In this publication, we share just a few of the contributions the College of Engineering has made to the world of aerospace. I’m proud of these achievements and hope this is the start of a deeper conversation.
University in Prescott, Arizona, has been to provide a rigorous, foundational and state-of-the-art undergraduate education. As the Dean of the College of Engineering, I witness this mission in action every day. Our undergraduates are exceptional, coming in with the highest average GPA scores of any student body in Arizona. These students come from across the world with a high level of motivation and interest in all things related to aerospace and aviation. During their time at Embry-Riddle, we prepare them for the challenges of the 21st century with hands-on, applied learning that sparks curiosity and encourages exploration. The power of the education we deliver is enabled by our facilities and faculty and driven by our focus on aerospace and aviation. In our state-of-the-art facilities, such as the STEM Education Center, Aerospace Experimentation and Fabrication Building, King Engineering and Technology Center and the Propulsion and Aerodynamics Complex, students utilize the same tools and methods as those used by engineers in industry today. Students gain firsthand insight into aerospace and aviation industries from our faculty, who possess extensive experience prior to coming to Embry-Riddle.
Sincerely,
Dr. Katherine Wood Dean, College of Engineering
