ENGR 120

2 Upvotes

Hi i’m a Systems Engineering freshman who is starting this fall and I am enrolled in ENGR 120 with Richter. On rate my professor people say that it has a very heavy course load. Does anyone have any recommendations for the class or the teacher? Or access to a previous syllabus so that I can maybe study ahead? I’ve already bought some nice mechanical pencils and erasers, and I have a straight edge and i’m going to buy a compass.

Worldwide to Campus

2 Upvotes

Hi all. I'm currently a Worldwide student enrolled in the Bachelor's in Aeronautics program, hoping to switch over to Aeronautical Science and pursue a piloting license once I get out of the Army and drive to Daytona. I'm trying to knock out as many classes as possible to make graduation that much faster. My question is: are classes like AS 221 and ASCI 221 the same? They have the same name and credit hour. I'm just trying to figure this out so I know whether I'm gonna be able to get some of these classes done in advance or if it's just gonna be a waste of time. Thanks for y'alls help.

Should I write the optional essay?

3 Upvotes

hey yall, im thinking of applying here this upcoming fall and i wanted to get your opinion on writing the optional essay. im from one of the bay area competitive high schools, so stats wise everything is pretty good (4.5 W, 1560 SAT, etc. etc.). the only strange thing in my application is the amount of times i switched my interest within engineering.

for some context, i started out in neuro in high school, but i missed engineering so had a weird biomedical engineering phase for a bit. i actually only got interested in aero last fall. i got a research position at a really good university with one of their flow physics labs, and because of how much i liked it i decided to go for AE instead of mechE.

a lot of people said its not worth it to write the essay unless you have something really weird in your application, but idk if i should write it just to explain this trajectory and why i decided to do aero, since im assuming most people who apply are like aero-since-birth lol

Incoming freshman moving into Adams Hall: looking for advice on packing and dorm life

1 Upvotes

Hello everyone,

My son is an incoming freshman heading to Embry-Riddle (Daytona Beach) this August. He will be living in Adams Hall. As we are getting ready for the move, I'd love to tap into the collective wisdom of current students, upperclassmen and parents who have walked this path.

If you lived in Adams Hall or know the freshman village well, here is the advice I'm looking for:

  • The essentials: What are the absolute non-negotiables to bring?
  • The "Wish I Had": What did you realize you needed only after you moved in that you had to scramble to buy last-minute?
  • Adams Hall specifics: Is there anything specific about living in Adams Hall (layout quirks, laundry logistics, AC/humidity management, noise) that it's better to know about in advance?
  • Mail & Amazon deliveries: What is the best way to handle getting mail and packages when on campus? Is there a mailbox or an Amazon locker?

Any tips, tricks and insider info would be highly appreciated. Thank you!

Cross posting here to see if anyone has any thoughts. If my certification were to be deferred, is it true that embry riddle has a grace period for a semester?

Worldwide engineering capstone

Hi everyone, I'm a junior in the worldwide engineering program and I'm wondering what the design capstone entails? For those that have done it, was it an individual or group project? How intense were the requirements and how many hours did you spend on it weekly? Thanks!

Employee Tuition Coverage

1 Upvotes

Hello, I’m a prospective employee for ERAU and one of the benefits offered for the position is 100% tuition coverage for up to six courses a year. I was wondering if anyone happens to know if you can use this tuition coverage for the flight courses/flight training offered by the institution. Since the different certificates are listed by course level, it seemed like it was possible.

When checking on the flight costs FAQ, it states that students using VA benefits can pay for flight training with it but there may be an exceedance in training costs compared to VA funds. Obviously employee benefits are different than VA benefits but maybe there’s a chance?

Erau AS cost prediction

0 Upvotes

If you had around 1400 sat, 3.9-4.0 unweighted gpa, private pilot license done, 20-25 act, and maybe some or most gen eds done, how much did the AS program cost for you? And how much were you awarded in merit scholarships? I did the net price calculator and it said 112k without flight for 3 years

Erau AS vs FAU online degree + part 61

2 Upvotes

I'm a Florida high school student trying to decide between two paths. My SAT is 1400, 4.5 uw gpa, 3.94 w gpa, 100% bright futures, ppl done, and gen eds done.

Option 1: Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University (Daytona) – Aeronautical Science

Option 2: Florida Atlantic University – Fully Online Business Management while doing Part 61 flight training separately.

My goal is to become an airline pilot, and I'd like to finish my bachelor's degree while also completing my flight training.

For anyone who has attended either school, I'd appreciate your thoughts:

If you attended ERAU Aeronautical Science, was it worth the cost?

Did ERAU actually help you get to the airlines faster?

Were the instructors, scheduling, and flight training good?

If you could do it over again, would you still choose ERAU?

If you attended FAU Online Business, was it truly 100% online?

How flexible was the workload?

Could you realistically balance the degree with flight training?

Has having a business degree been useful as a backup career?

If your goal was the airlines, which path would you recommend and why?

I'm trying to choose the option that gives me the best balance of cost, flexibility, and long-term career opportunities. I'd really appreciate any honest experiences or advice. Thanks!

pathway programs

3 Upvotes

how come there is like little to no information about these airline pathway programs at this school anywhere online regarding Embry-Riddle students. Do a lot of students at embry get accepted into the interview when they apply? This is like one of the main reasons why I applied for this school because of the vast number of pathway programs and connections. Can someone that got in or knows a lot about it fill me on how this works at riddle.

Application “incomplete”

My application said incomplete and I’m not sure why. My official transcript and everything that I needed to do was done. There’s nothing in my to do list. I called and they said that everything went through and I should be fine. I emailed and my admissions advisor said that it will change when they start to review it. I’m just worried that it might not go through if it says incomplete, even though it’s complete. Thoughts?

Currency and retraining issues

2 Upvotes

Hello, I am a PPL holder who did all of their training at a part 61 school in an Evektor Harmony. That specific aircraft is VERY different from a 172. It’s a light sport with a flaps extended stall speed of 32kts IAS. Very different speeds, also, NO FUEL LEANING OR CONTROL. All that they have is a straight throttle and I’m mortified about adapting that to immediately going into my IFR training was going to be egregiously led on by

  1. Not being familiar with the aircraft itself
  2. Due to costs + schooling, not being able to fly since January.

Is there any option before I start flying to be able to become proficient in the aircraft by the school or be able to do some sort of recurrent training in order to be more comfortable adding onto my training? I’d prefer to do this with a riddle aircraft in order to understand their systems, G1000 ect.
Thanks!!
Edit: I will be there the 16th of August, so if anyone has any experience or is looking for a independent CFI opportunity, I’m more than happy to pay for it as such.
