In the Rocket Engineering Laboratory, students put their classroom knowledge to work on projects of their own imagination. Centrally located on the first floor of the Lehman Engineering and Technology Center, the Embry-Riddle Future Space Explorers & Developers Society (ERFSEDS) and the Experimental Rocket Propulsion Lab (ERPL) clubs accept new student members continuously, offering their collective expertise to shepherd new student innovations from concept to operation. The “Rocket Clubs” execute some of Embry Riddle’s most advanced student projects.
