At Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University we engage our students far beyond just teaching from a textbook - all our students participate in a range of hands-on projects both inside and outside the classroom. Through our URI Discovery Events, we showcase some of the students’ best work and celebrate their success, their creativity, and their talent.
