Embry Riddle Aeronautical University-Daytona Beach Summary

The following paragraph provided courtesy of wikipedia.

Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University (ERAU) is a not-for-profit, non-sectarian, coeducational private university with a history dating back to the early days of aviation. The university serves culturally diverse students primarily motivated toward careers in aviation and aerospace. The Embry-Riddle Company also trained pilots as the Embry-Riddle Flying School. The school grew rapidly in 1928 and 1929, until the Embry-Riddle Company (now the Embry-Riddle Aviation Corporation) was merged with the Aviation Corporation (AVCO) of Delaware. The Embry-Riddle School of Aviation partnered with the University of Miami to provide flight training under the Civilian Pilot Training Program, increasing the number of pilots immediately proceeding World War II. The Embry-Riddle Aeronautical Institute was accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools in 1968, and was renamed Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in 1970. Although a former student shared the same name as one of the hijackers, that former student was still alive and had no connections to Al-Qaeda. Embry-Riddle’s student newspaper, The Avion covered the events following the Sept. On December 25, 2006 at approximately 1:45 p.m. an F2 tornado touched down in Daytona Beach, causing major damage to the Embry-Riddle campus. Mandatory fees for the ‘07-’07 school year are $548 for students on the Daytona Beach Campus and $365 for students on the Prescott Campus per semester, in addition to tuition. Worldwide campus tuition is $191 – $285 per credit hour for undergraduates and $319 – $780 per credit hour for graduate students. The average flight student spends approximately $40,000 on flight training per annum; however students who hold advanced ratings before attending Embry-Riddle can expect to pay less. Embry-Riddle students graduate with the highest student debt in the United States. Of the Daytona Beach graduating class of 2005, 68% of student graduated with debt, and the average debt among those students was $52,276. Embry-Riddle’s residential campuses in Daytona Beach and Prescott campuses offer the following degrees: This 178 acre (720,000 m²) site has been the home to Embry-Riddle since 1965. The main campus consists of an aviation complex, academic quad and residence halls surrounding the student center and Jack R. There are well over 180 software titles available to faculty and students in two computer labs within the Lehman Building, including CATIA, Nastran, Pro/ENGINEER, and Matlab. Total student capacity in the residence halls is 1,928 students. The Fall 2006 Semester saw a large influx of new students of approximately 1400, 118% of Freshman housing capacity. Housing accommodated those students by housing fewer upperclassmen, placing students in rooms as students in the other halls dropped, and, according to Jason Chokel, Assistant Director of Residence Life, successfully placed all students. Over 1,000 students take up residence on-campus in the $29 million Student Village residence complex on the north edge of campus. Four residence halls as well as two food venues, housing offices and the office of the Embry Riddle Resident Student Association (E.R.R.S.A.) are contained within the Student Village. The residence halls in the Student Village are Adams Hall, Wood Hall, O’Connor Hall and Stimpson Hall. Doolittle Hall (Known to students as “The Rock” due to the second layer of bricks added during renovations, creating outer walls two bricks thick.), a concrete and cinder block building in the shape a “T”, houses freshmen. McKay Hall houses all classes of students. Three freshmen or two upperclassmen students are assigned to each room. Current plans are to make all rooms two students only with the opening of a new Residence Hall in 2007. At one time McKay Hall resembled an old roadside hotel, and is often the butt of jokes among the students that live there. Students make regular use of the John Paul Riddle Student Center, located in the center of campus. The student center includes two dining facilities, offices for the Student Government Association, Touch-N-Go Productions (campus entertainment), Greek life, The Avion Newspaper and Eagles FM. Many university offices, such as campus safety and the Dean of Student’s office, are also housed in the student center. Adjoined to the student center is the university bookstore, mailroom and admissions office. Other student facilities include the 5,300-square-foot Interfaith Chapel, ICI Center gym and weight room, outdoor pool and intramural sports fields. Embry-Riddle’s Daytona Beach Campus total Fall 2006 enrollment at the Daytona Beach Campus is 4863; International students make up 8% of the Daytona Beach Campus’s undergraduate enrollment. Aviation interests characterize most of the student body, though particularly among the aerospace engineering and aeronautical science majors. Daytona Beach has over 130 student organizations, including 10 fraternities and three sororities. Other prominent student organizations include the Eagles Flight Team, which competes in the National Intercollegiate Flying Association, the Eagles Sport Aviation Club, and the Student Government Association. Embry-Riddle’s Daytona Beach campus has the second most extensive ROTC programs in the nation, following Texas A&M, and the largest Air Force ROTC program. In Fall 2006, the Prescott Campus had 1,630 undergraduate students and 44 graduate students enrolled. The Prescott Campus has students from numerous states, as well as 25 different countries. It also contains the Astronautical and Aeronautical Engineering Design Lab for senior design project work and the Design and Computer-Aided Design Lab, where freshman and sophomore students learn CAD techniques. This building contains a Design Suite for Autonomous Vehicles and Freshman Engineering Lab which allow students to build robots, lighter-than-air vehicles, and more. The Control Theory Lab, Digital Circuits Lab, and Linear Circuits Lab all give students the hands-on experience in electronics. The Power Lab lets students design, fabricate, and test power electronics, and the Senior Design Suite is a place for students to work on their capstone projects. The Space Systems lab houses a satellite ground station which operates on amateur radio bands as well as equipment to allow students to simulate attitude control of satellites. The Composites Lab enables students to fabricate composite parts and the Rapid Prototyping Lab contains stereo-lithography printers for student use. There are three student residence areas on the Prescott Campus. Two students share each room, and each room has its own bathroom. There are two different configurations for halls in the Village Complex: ERAU’s total Fall 2006 undergraduate enrollment at the Prescott Campus was 1,630 students, 17% of which were female. International students make up 3% of the Prescott Campus’s undergraduate enrollment. Aviation interests characterize most of the student body, though particularly among the aerospace engineering and aeronautical science majors, the latter of which are in the flight-training program.
