<p>Is Embry Riddle a good place to study aerospace or mechanical engineering? The school says they are highly known for that but I've read other opinions and some people don't think it's that great. Would I be better off at another school like UT Austin, Texas A&M, Cal Poly SLO? I have other colleges on my list but these are my top choices.</p>
<p>There is a lot of misinformation out there regarding Embry-Riddle. </p>
<p>Most of flack directed at the school is actually directed at their Aeronautical Science program, not their engineering programs - Some people think their AS program is simply too expensive after all of the flight training is said and done, and does not offer a good R.O.I. </p>
<p>Their engineering programs, on the other hand, are very good and well-respected.</p>
<p>Okay thanks. I have no interest in becoming a pilot so that won’t concern me.</p>
