The research runs the gamut and includes efforts such as a project by Software Engineering student Amber Scarbrough (’21), who addressed mathematical optimization methods and their purpose in spaceflight mechanics. Although a number of Embry-Riddle’s industry partners have stepped up to support undergraduate research efforts, Honeywell has emerged as one of the leaders, Boettcher said. “They have been amazing,” she said. “What started as a research project has become a mentor program that has helped our students secure internships and jobs.” The initial Honeywell research project, intended to characterize the flight performance of future urban air vehicles by using scaled-down models, involved six Embry-Riddle students, and all were offered Honeywell summer internships.
Of the six who interned with Honeywell during 2019 and 2020, three accepted full-time positions at the company. During 2020 and 2021, four new juniors joined the project team, and one of them has accepted a full-time job offer from Honeywell.
