Daytona Beach, FL Campus

  • On the Daytona Beach Campus, the labs and facilities in the Lehman Engineering and Technology Center and the College of Arts & Sciences feature open workspaces that facilitate collaborative development for interdisciplinary student teams. Here, students are immersed in the entire design-build-test project cycle. Each engineering discipline at Embry-Riddle features a lab component that enables its students to get as much hands-on experience as possible.
  • The Civil Engineering Infrastructure Lab is used for applied research in civil transportation systems and structural health monitoring.
  • In the Clean Energy Systems Lab, students develop environmentally friendly and efficient energy systems.
  • The Circuits and Electronics Engineering Lab, the Control Design Lab, and the Aircraft Design Lab are dedicated to problem solving and analysis.
  • The Advanced Vehicles Green Garage, which houses the U.S. Department of Energy-sponsored EcoCAR competition vehicle, allows students to model, integrate, and test advanced hybrid and electric vehicle technology.

Prescott, AZ Campus

  • Engineering students at the Prescott Campus have a unique opportunity to work on projects and research in labs dedicated solely to them. Students operate remote and autonomous robots in the Aerial Robotics Lab or fabricate and assemble innovative projects in the Aerospace Experimentation and Fabrication Building, better known as AXFAB. In the AXFAB labs, students conduct prototyping using 3-D technology, test physical material specimens used in aerospace platforms, and heat-treat materials to prepare specimens for analysis.
  • Beyond the AXFAB labs, students also use the Wind Tunnel Lab, Robotics Lab, Propulsions Lab, Materials Testing Lab, and Structures Lab.
  • In addition, students are using the Advanced Vehicle Lab to design and construct an electric land speed record car to run at the Bonneville Salt Flats.
  • The STEM Education Center is Prescott’s new two-story building which covers 52,000 square feet of space and contains over 20 industry-grade laboratories, replete with innovative technological equipment unique to each STEM program the university offers. In addition to the top-ranked undergraduate aeronautical and aerospace engineering programs in the country, the STEM Center's facilities support degrees in astronomy, forensic biology, space physics, wildlife science, and the new bachelor's degree in Simulation Science, Gaming and Animation.
