“I came here because of soccer and ROTC and the GSIS degree because I want to be in the military and ERAU is the perfect choice.”
“I loved every minute of my Capstone project. We bridged the gap between all the subjects we’d been learning—structures, aerodynamics, stability and controls, and performance—and apply them to an actual aircraft design.”
“I learned so much, in the classroom, and through campus involvement. Embry-Riddle enabled me so many amazing opportunities, I will forever be grateful to everyone that made that beautiful campus in Prescott feel like home.”
“Three NASA Armstrong Flight Research Center internships over three successive summers have rounded me as an engineer and as an individual. I now have experience in sensing systems, software, test engineering, and aerodynamics research. ”
