DAY 2 | May 19, 2026 ๐ธ๐ฌ IAU's SG Summer Camp!
What does the future of aviation look like? Our students explored the answer firsthand through an inspiring "Aviation Past to Aviation Future" lecture by Matthew Flaherty, Vice Chancellor and Head of Asia at Embry-Riddle Asia , followed by an eye-opening visit to MITRE Corporation, a global leader in aviation and aerospace innovation.
The day began with engaging icebreaker activities at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University Asia Campus, fostering teamwork and camaraderie among our future aerospace professionals. Students then gained valuable insights into the evolution of aviation, emerging technologies, and the opportunities shaping the future of the industry.
In the afternoon, participants visited MITRE Corporation, where they were introduced to cutting-edge research and real-world solutions that support safer and smarter aerospace operations. Our sincere thanks to Kenny Raditia for graciously hosting our delegation and sharing valuable insights from his work in operations, analytics, and strategy, giving students a broader understanding of the diverse opportunities within the aerospace industry. We also extend our appreciation to Alvin Macabagdal Ting, Systems Administrator at MITRE, for helping make the visit both meaningful and memorable.
The learning continued beyond the classroom as students immersed themselves in Singapore's vibrant culture, enjoying the famous satays at Lau Pa Sat before taking in the spectacular nighttime views of Marina Bay Sands and the Merlion.
From visionary discussions about the future of flight to hands-on industry exposure and cultural exploration, Day 2 was a remarkable experience that broadened perspectives and fueled aspirations.
