“ The hands-on opportunities, like the jet dragster project or the NASA Space Grant-funded highaltitude balloon project, help to solidify skills learned in the classroom and gave me direction in my chosen engineering degree. ” carSoN roY Thill aerospace and mechanical Engineering major, with concentration in robotics State-of-the-Art Technology Embry-Riddle gives you access to the best facilities, the latest technology, and the strongest learning environment possible. You’ll find specialized labs of every variety—circuits and electronic devices, power and electronics, communication, thermo-fluid, propulsion, and airway science. For aviation students, our resources for real-life, real-time training include the most advanced collegiate training fleet in the country; new Diamond DA42 NGs, equipped with G1000 synthetic vision. Every training aircraft is equipped with Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B), a system that outperforms radar—working at low altitudes and on the ground in remote and mountainous areas. Our simulation devices are the most advanced of any U.S. university program, giving you move-by-move, minute-by-minute feedback—essential preparation for a confident, safe career in the air. Meteorology and a deep understanding of global climates are also critical to many disciplines. With the computer resources of Embry-Riddle’s state-of-the-art Weather Center at your fingertips, you’ll learn to assess whatever nature sends your way, from severe thunderstorms and tornadoes to cyclone fronts and jet streams. Radar, radiosonde systems, and computerized weather maps and graphics round out the resources. And the Campus Observatory, with its optical and radio telescopes, gives space physics and astronomy students the resources to learn, conduct research for publication in professional journals, and just explore galaxies hundreds of light years away. 10
est in Class The Embry-riddle Flight program is well-known for many things, but these are at the top of the list: safety first at all times, and the best training aircraft available. The Diamond Da-42 NG pictured here is best in class, and it’s one of four Diamonds that the Prescott campus uses to train the world’s best pilots. The rest of the fleet comprises 16 G1000 equipped cessna 172s, two cessna 150s for the Golden Eagle flight team, one cessna 182, and one Decathlon acrobatic plane for “upset training.” a full range of flight and air traffic control simulators complete the picture.
