A World in Motion
Aerospace never stands still. Technologies evolve, procedures shift, and tomorrow’s discoveries emerge because today’s researchers — and students — devote themselves to exploring the unknown.
At Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University’s Worldwide Campus, you are invited to join this momentum. Students receive guidance from a faculty who has shaped the future of flight — from plan to policy, launch to landing — through programs that combine technical mastery with a spirit of discovery.
Many Embry-Riddle graduates have gone on to become entrepreneurs, creating new aviation technologies that continue to shape the industry, others as astronauts collaborating with NASA or SpaceX, or authors and innovators who bridge science with imagination. Each story begins the same way: with education that keeps pace with change.
From Classroom to Orbit
Embry-Riddle's programs are powered by applied research, involving students in projects that deliver outcomes far beyond the classroom. Undergraduates are trusted to embrace responsibilities that embody their hands-on learning.
At Embry-Riddle Worldwide, students can participate in research conducted in residential facilities. Embry-Riddle students have tested all-electric aircraft, including a design for emergency rescue missions, advancing the pursuit of sustainable aviation and the well-being of the world.
These projects reflect a guiding principle: at Embry-Riddle, students don’t wait to join the world of research — they are part of it from the start.
Asking New Questions
The university’s research culture spans every major frontier of aviation and aerospace. Students collaborate with faculty to solve challenges that will guide the industry forward. Embry-Riddle's faculty are as enthusiastic about teaching as they are about advancing their fields of study.
- Urban Air Mobility: Writing the rules for drones and air taxis to safely share the skies.
- Autonomous Systems: Building and testing AI-powered vehicles on ground, sea, air and space.
- Space Operations: Exploring sustainable aviation fuels and energy management systems.
By stepping into these projects, students learn that research is never an abstraction — it is about solving problems that shape how people live, travel and connect around the world.
Testing New Concepts
Through initiatives such as research scholars programs, Embry-Riddle provides students with resources for funding, mentorship and networking, allowing them to showcase their noteworthy projects globally and domestically.
Research often moves from the lab into competitions and collaborations where students demonstrate their skills on a global stage. These moments open doors and, in many cases, launch careers.
With Embry-Riddle, an education builds credibility — not only through coursework, but through visible achievements and worldwide connections.
Plotting Your Path
Behind each research landmark is a network of support. Faculty mentors connect classroom learning with industry practice. Career advisors help students translate ambition into actionable next steps. Peer networks offer encouragement, accountability and collaboration.
This guidance reaches beyond the classroom through resources like the EQUATES video library, which offers on-demand STEM workshops for deeper study.
- Career advising links academic progress to professional goals.
- Faculty mentorship turns research into real-world applications.
- Peer communities strengthen collaboration and confidence.
The result is an education that provides skill and direction as well as knowledge. Students leave knowing not just what they have learned, but where that learning can take them.
Joining the Story of Flight
From satellites orbiting Earth to sustainable aircraft, from AI-powered vehicles to aviation safety, Embry-Riddle students participate in projects that shape our world. With work bearing vital significance for safety, sustainability and exploration, your role begins the moment you enroll.
At Embry-Riddle, every student’s project adds to a larger constellation of progress. The discoveries endure, but so does what they reveal — your potential, your contribution, your innovation.
