Embry-Riddle a good program?
Embry-Riddle a good program?
(OP)
Recently I was medically discharged from the US Navy, where I worked as a nuclear machinist, and now the VA is offering a program that will pay for my school since, due to my injuries, I am unable to work as a machinist. I want some perspective on the aerospace industry. I've been accepted to Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, where I hope to gain a master's degree in Aerospace Engineering. I'm mostly interested in propulsion and space mechanics. Is this a good path in the industry to take? Please offer any comments.

Any Embry-Riddle engineering graduates out there?

I agree with you, There are a lot of accredited schools/programs out there. Some are much better then others.

Overall a good experience, no complaints, I kind of missed going to a big school which had a football program, comraderie amongst students, etc... but the small class education was worth it. Expensive, still paying for my education!!

Thanks for your input. The Daytona Beach campus does offer an engineering physics program, but I'm planning on going to the Prescott, AZ campus, which doesn't offer it. I looked at the curriculum for engineering physics and it sounds like something I'd be more interseted in than what I am now planning on. The catalog describes it as "an excellent stepping stone into the space program" and it has a full engineering accreditation by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of the ABET.
However, I am still interested in Aerospace Engineering at the Prescott campus which offers a concentration in Astronautics. The course study is very similar to that of the engineering physics program. In fact, if I use all of my technical electives to take those courses that are different I could almost get both by the end of my senior year.
Thanks for all of your posts, I really appreciate it.
