Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering
Clubs and Professional Organizations
American Institute of Aeronautics and
Astronautics
One of the largest AAIA chapters in
the nation. The mission of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics is
to advance the arts, sciences and technology of aeronautics and astronautics,
and to foster and promote the professionalism of those engaged in these pursuits.
Daytona Area Modelers Network
The group
informs interested people about model building and model building techniques.
Embry-Riddle Robotics Association
Members of
this organization, which is made up of undergraduate
students, focus on the development of robotics
systems for competition in international challenges,
where emphasis is placed on the development
of autonomous systems.
National Society of Black Engineers
NSBE's mission is to increase the number of culturally responsible Black engineers who excel academically, succeed professionally and positively impact the community.
 Society
of Automotive Engineers
Embry-Riddle’s Mechanical Engineering program and
the university’s chapter of the Society of Automotive
Engineers recently teamed with Brian Nave, co host of the student robotics television series
“Robot Rivals” on the Do It Yourself Network, to
host national-level robot combat tournament in
2005 that drew as many as 100 entries from
California to Puerto Rice and everywhere in
between. An all-female team of Embry-Riddle students
sponsored by the University are poised to
compete in SAE’s annual mini-Baja, where student
teams design, build, test, promote and race a vehicle
that will be subjected to severe punishment
and rough terrain.
There is also a team of male and female students designing a Formula racing
car.
Society of Women Engineers
SWE is a non-profit educational service organization dedicated to making known
the need for women engineers and encouraging young women to consider an engineering
education. The organization's four objectives are as relevant today as they were
more than 50 years ago when the group formed:
To inform young women, their parents, counselors, and the public in general of
the qualifications and achievements of women engineers and the opportunities
open to them. To assist women engineers in readying themselves for a return
to active work after temporary retirement. To serve as a center of information
on women in engineering. To encourage women engineers to attain high levels
of educational and professional achievement.
