Embry-Riddle Summer Programs
Summer Address:
Prescott, Arizona, United StatesWant to find out what it feels like to pull back on the yoke of the airplane and have it climb at your command? If this sounds like fun to you then join us in sunny northern Arizona for a 6 day flight exploration camp designed to more than whet your appetite for adventure in the sky.
You will be partnered with another participant to work with an Embry-Riddle certified Flight Instructor. Learn maneuvers every pilot needs to know by going on day, night and cross country flights in a Cessna 172 aircraft where you fly the plane! In preparation for these flights, you will be shown how to read sectional charts, and interpret aviation weather reports. We will teach you the basic principles of aerodynamics, navigation systems, aircraft systems and performance, plus procedures related to the safe operation of an aircraft so you will be able to relate these principles to your experience at the controls of the airplane.
Aerospace Engineering
This program is designed to demonstrate fundamental concepts of engineering in a fun, hands-on environment. Each participant will learn the science of flight, the principles of aerospace design, how materials stress, strain, and break. Students will be introduced to a variety of fields relating to aerospace engineering through daily classes and labs.
Computer Engineering
Our Computer Engineering program will introduce you to the world of robotics and machine vision. The popularity of aerobic game controls has exploded. Here you will see the building of the next generation of controls — no need for a Wii System, just box and punch naturally and the computer captures your moves! No devices needed. Come learn how and why it works.
