4 | EMBRY-RIDDLE AT A GLANCE |
In 1903 Orville and Wilbur Wright made history withtheir sustained, controlled flight of a powered aircraft.Only a few short years later, the advent of regular
passenger service and the start of World War I combined toproduce a dynamic new industry to meet the demands ofcommercial and military aviation.
Unlike many other developments at the end of the IndustrialRevolution, aviation required a special education — learninghow to fly, learning about safety and weather, and learningabout engines — from skilled maintenance to the outerlimits of performance.
The need for trained pilots and mechanics quickly led to theestablishment of a new type of school — one focused totallyon aviation. In the beginning, these organizations were oftena combination of airplane dealership, airmail service, flighttraining center, and mechanic school. The original Embry-Riddle operations fit that mold precisely.
On Dec. 17, 1925, exactly 22 years after the historic flight ofthe Wright Flyer, barnstormer John Paul Riddle andentrepreneur T. Higbee Embry founded the Embry-RiddleCompany at Lunken Airport in Cincinnati, Ohio. Thefollowing spring, the company opened the Embry-RiddleSchool of Aviation, coinciding with the implementation ofthe Air Commerce Act of 1926, which required, for the firsttime, the certification and medical examination of pilots.
Within three years, the school had become a subsidiary ofAVCO, the parent of American Airlines. Embry-Riddleremained dormant during most of the 1930s, mirroring thecasualties of the Great Depression, and the Lunken Airportoperation was phased out. By the end of the decade,however, World War II erupted in Europe and the demandfor skilled aviators and mechanics grew significantly.Embry-Riddle’s second life was about to begin.
In South Florida, Embry-Riddle opened several flighttraining centers and quickly became the world’s largestaviation school. Allied nations sent thousands of fledglingairmen to the Embry-Riddle centers at Carlstrom, Dorr, andChapman airfields to become pilots, mechanics, and aviationtechnicians. Some 25,000 men were trained by Embry-Riddle during the war years.
After the war, under the leadership of John and IsabelMcKay, Embry-Riddle expanded its international outreachwhile strengthening its academic programs.
With Jack R. Hunt as president, in 1965 Embry-Riddleconsolidated its flight, ground school, and technical trainingprograms in one location by moving northward to DaytonaBeach, Florida. This move, which proved to be a moment ofsingular importance, was made possible by Daytona Beachcivic leaders who donated time, money, and the use ofpersonal vehicles. The relocation signaled the rebirth ofEmbry-Riddle and the start of its odyssey to world-classstatus in aviation higher education.

the lifelong PartnershiP
| EMBRY-RIDDLE AT A GLANCE | 5
In 1968, Embry-Riddle was accredited by the Commissionon Colleges of the Southern Association of Colleges andSchools to award degrees at the associate, bachelor, andmaster levels, and in 1970 changed its name from “Institute”to “University.”
Also in 1970, the University established its ExtendedCampus (now called the Worldwide Campus), which beganopening centers at U.S. military aviation bases to serve theeducational needs of active-duty military personnel.
In 1978, under President Hunt’s leadership, Embry-Riddleopened a western campus in Prescott, Arizona, on the 511-acre site of a former college. With superb flying weather andexpansive grounds, the Prescott Campus has been anoutstanding companion to the University’s eastern campusin Daytona Beach.
Continuing Hunt's legacy was Lt. Gen. Kenneth L. Tallman,president of Embry-Riddle for five years. He came to theUniversity after a distinguished 35-year military career thatincluded service as superintendent of the U.S. Air ForceAcademy. Under Tallman’s leadership, a school of graduatestudies and the electrical engineering degree program wereintroduced. He led the University into research with theaddition of the engineering physics degree program. He alsodeveloped stronger ties between Embry-Riddle and theaviation/aerospace industry.
Dr. Steven M. Sliwa led the University from 1991 through1998. Sliwa, the University’s third president, is best knownfor creating an entrepreneurial environment and fordeveloping strategic partnerships with industry. Thesepartnerships included a joint venture with FlightSafetyInternational; a partnership with Cessna Aircraft Company; atechnology alliance with IBM; and an exclusive educationalpartnership with the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association.He also spearheaded a $100+ million capital expansionprogram, which included an $11.5 million congressionalline-item appropriation. In addition, new academic andresearch programs were created at his direction to respondto structural changes in the industry while increasingmarket share in the University’s core programs.
Embry-Riddle’s fourth president, Dr. George H. Ebbs, ledthe University from 1998 through 2005. During his tenurethe annual college guide produced by U.S. News & WorldReport consistently ranked Embry-Riddle’s aerospace
engineering program No. 1 in the nation among schoolswithout doctoral programs, a ranking the University hasachieved every year since 2001. Embry-Riddle’s programin aerospace engineering is the largest in the nation, as areits programs in aeronautical science and engineeringphysics.
Under the leadership of Dr. Ebbs, a new graduate degreeprogram in safety science was introduced, as well as newundergraduate degree programs in computer science,global security and intelligence studies, mechanicalengineering, software engineering, and space physics. Inaddition, major construction was initiated at the DaytonaBeach and Prescott residential campuses.
Dr. Ebbs presided over three military contracts worth atotal of more than $57 million. Under those contractsEmbry-Riddle provides aviation-related degree programsto the U.S. military in Europe; trained Air Force, AirNational Guard, and international flight safety officers atKirtland Air Force Base in Albuquerque, N.M.; andtrained Air Force pilots at the U.S. Air Force Academy inColorado Springs.
Dr. John P. Johnson is the University’s fifth president. Hepreviously served as Embry-Riddle’s interim president andas provost and chief academic officer. Under hisleadership, the University has expanded its researchactivity; has launched its first doctoral degree programs inaviation and in engineering physics; and is developing aglobal strategy to take its aviation and aerospace expertiseoverseas. Before joining Embry-Riddle, Dr. Johnson wasthe provost and vice president for academic affairs at TexasA&M University, Texarkana, and served as dean at theMedical University of South Carolina and at NorthernKentucky University.
Embry-Riddle is a global institution that holds aprominent position in aviation/aerospace education. TheUniversity is the world’s largest independent aeronauticaluniversity, boasting a student body of 34,000 who comefrom all 50 states and 98 nations.

Interoperability between simulations is a goal of modelingand simulation users worldwide. There is no one modelingand simulation tool that can be all things to all people. Mosttools were built for a specific purpose. But, there may comea time where you need information that is not in yoursimulation's database. Linking to another modeling andsimulation tool that has the information needed is cheaperand faster than redesigning your simulation. Simulationinteroperability allows simulations that are geographicallydistributed to share information. The HLA is a recognizedarchitecture for simulation interoperability. This lessondiscusses interoperability, the nature and role of the HLA,and its general purpose architecture for simulation reuse andinteroperability.

ARTICULATIONS AND EDUCATIONALPARTNERShIP AGREEMENTS
Articulation and Educational Partnerships are two distincttypes of cooperative agreements that facilitate the transfer ofstudents from other institutions to Embry-RiddleAeronautical University.
Articulation Agreements provide for formal evaluation andguaranteed acceptance of courses within specific degreeprograms from other institutions to ensure that their contentand course objectives are the equivalent of those at theUniversity. The primary benefits of an ArticulationAgreement to the student are guaranteeing acceptance ofcourses completed at the other institution satisfyingspecified degree requirements at the University and lockingstudents into the requirements of the curriculum specifiedin the catalog at the time of enrollment. As long as thestudent has completed and signed the ArticulationAgreement Enrollment Form, he/she is assured that thecourses taken will still apply, even though the curriculummay have undergone significant change before the studenthas actually transferred to the University (subject tomatriculation and continuous enrollment requirements).
Educational Partnership Agreements seek to link specificprograms for transfer into the University, but without thesame level of evaluation and guaranteed, program-specific,credit acceptance under a specific catalog year.
For more information regarding either of these types ofcurricular agreements, please contact the WorldwideCampus location that you plan to attend or, for onlinestudents, contact the Worldwide Admissions, Advising andStudent Affairs Office, (p. 156).
UNIT Of CREDIT
Semester credits are used throughout the University system.Transferred quarter hours will be converted to semestercredit hours on the following basis: A quarter hour equalstwo-thirds of a semester hour. Converted credit totals arenot rounded to the nearest whole credit.
TRANSCRIBING TRANSfER ANDADVANCED STANDING CREDIT
Students are eligible for an Embry-Riddle transcript showingcredit awarded from other sources toward their degree, afterthey have matriculated. Matriculation occurs when anapplicant has been officially accepted for admission, hasenrolled in an Embry-Riddle course within one year of thedate of admission, and has maintained that enrollmentbeyond the drop period. If an applicant fails to maintainenrollment beyond the drop period, he/she will need toreapply for admission.
Continuing student status is maintained through enrollmentbeyond the drop period in at least one course within a two-year period. If a student fails to maintain enrollment beyondthe drop period, he/she will forfeit active student status,need to reapply for admission, and the matriculation processwill begin again. Courses previously taken with ERAU willnot immediately matriculate a returning student.

A term grade point average (GPA) and cumulative gradepoint average (CGPA) are computed for each student afterevery term. The GPA is calculated by dividing the numberof grade points earned during the term by the number ofcredit hours attempted in that term. The CGPA isdetermined by dividing the total number of grade points bythe total number of hours attempted at the University. Forgraduate students, grade points and hours attempted areaccrued in courses graded A, B, C, F, and WF.
For graduate students, the following grades are issued by thegraduate faculty: A, B, C, F, and Incomplete. The GPA iscomputed each semester on the 4 point scale: A = 4.00,B=3.00, etc. The Graduate Capstone Project (GCP) is gradedon a pass/fail basis and is not calculated into the GPA, unless the student receives a failing grade for the course. A graduate student must maintain a 3.00 GPA to graduate.See current catalog for full details.
