ERAU is not a big name school in those terms, that tends to be those active in aeronautical research - such as Purdue. The same is true in the UK, or most other countries.

The problem with a teaching only University such as ERAU (a UK equivalent might say be Hertfordshire or Kingston) is that the staff don't have the same day to day contact with what the real world is doing now. The advantage is that they're not distracted by their research and usually are far better teachers at delivering what they do know.
