Artificial Intelligence at Embry-Riddle
Advancing Aviation, Aerospace & Safety with Applied AI

Artificial intelligence (AI) at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University is a university-wide capability integrated across academics, research, and student experience. Rather than existing as a single program, AI is embedded throughout aviation, aerospace, engineering, data science, cybersecurity, and teaching innovation.
Our focus is on applying intelligent systems to solve real-world challenges in complex, high-stakes environments like aviation safety, flight operations, autonomous systems, and engineering innovation.
AI Across Academics
Students engage with AI throughout their academic journey through dedicated programs, integrated coursework, and hands-on applications of machine learning and data analytics. Whether exploring AI fundamentals or advancing technical expertise, our programs prepare students for AI-enabled careers across industries.
Whether introducing AI fundamentals or advancing technical expertise, programs are designed to prepare students for AI-enabled careers across industries.
