Why should I study Aerospace Engineering (AE)?

A degree in Aerospace Engineering will allow you to work on the design, analysis, and testing of the next generation of aircraft, rocket, spacecraft or aerospace system. Equally important, AE is a great way to develop your creativity and imagination in order to solve future problems. In Aerospace Engineering you will be working on pushing the frontiers of the application of science and technology to complex engineering products and systems. An AE education also allows you to undertake any endeavor you may decide to do in the future. Yes, individuals with engineering degrees are involved in all aspects of life: medicine, law, business, the arts. You name it and there are engineers involved. Every door of opportunity can be open to you with an AE education from ERAU.

Why should I go to Embry-Riddle for Aerospace Engineering?

Embry-Riddle has one of the top rated undergraduate Aerospace Engineering programs in the country. Since we focus on undergraduate education, the student will have full-time professors teaching their courses. The AE program involves significant hands-on activities throughout the curriculum. Experience in our laboratories ties in theory with the practical. Design projects, worked in a team environment, are an important componentt of AE. Graduates understand today's dynamic world and the role the aerospace industry plays in the global society.
