Developing and Managing 21st Century Aerospace Cluster

  • CO-I Robert Walton

    CO-I Constantine Koursaris

  • The project team will collect, analyze, document and report information on best-practices and lessons learned in managing aerospace clusters in the United States, Europe, Japan, Brazil, and other countries for the purpose of making America's aerospace clusters more competitive.
Developing Autonomous, Targeted Feedback in Precalculus

  • PI Darryl Chamberlain

  • The overriding goal of this project is to investigate student knowledge in a Precalculus course at ERAU-W in order to construct autonomous, targeted feedback for free-responses questions to enhance students' online learning. This will be accomplished by analyzing student responses to exam questions and interviewing students to probe how their mathematical conceptions correspond to their exam responses.

Eaglet: Writing Center and Tutoring Program

  • CO-I Wendi Kappers

  • The purpose of this research is to develop and implement a fully functioning writing center for the Embry-Riddle Worldwide student body. The program will consist of a tutoring service to aid students with grammatically correct writing, forming coherent arguments, and properly addressing the specific objectives of the paper.
EagleVision Classroom (EVC) Best Practices

  • CO-I Wendi Kappers

  • To improve the quality of EVC instruction, an evaluation was initiated of the modality to further investigate the sources of negative feedback and comments; and to identify strategies and best practices gathered from recent EVC faculty and students suggesting improvements needed in the EVC modality.
E-cigarette nicotine deposition and persistence on glass and cotton surfaces

  • PI Cheri Marcham

    CO-I Beverly Wood

    CO-I Evan Floyd

    CO-I Susan Arnold

  • This study examined whether nicotine from electronic cigarette aerosols deposits on indoor surfaces and how long it persists. Using controlled chamber experiments, the research demonstrated that nicotine readily deposits on both glass and cotton surfaces and remains detectable for several days, with substantially longer persistence on cotton materials, indicating potential for thirdhand nicotine exposure.
Effects of Institutional Responses to the COVID-19 Pandemic on Undergraduate Faculty and Students Across STEM Disciplines

  • PI Chelsea LeNoble

    CO-I Allison Kwesell

  • The project's specific aims are to: (1) examine teaching and learning experiences of undergraduate faculty and students in response to the COVID-19 pandemic; (2) examine the effects of faculty and student reactions on undergraduate STEM teaching and learning; and (3) leverage findings to develop actionable recommendations for colleges and universities to best prepare and protect their faculty, staff, and students and the integrity of undergraduate STEM education.
Epidemiology of Low Back Injuries in Aircratft Technicians and Mechanics

  • PI Todd Smith

  • For this study, data will be collected from aircraft maintenance technicians and A&P mechanics from both private and public organizations and the military. A zero-inflated Poisson regression analysis will be completed to examine these factors. Researchers will identify risk and protective factors related to demographic variables, work exposures and organizational variables.

  • PI Catherine Paolucci

    CO-I Darryl Chamberlain

    CO-I Christopher Redding

    CO-I Sam Vancini

    CO-I Ashley Reese

  • This project aims to support content knowledge development for secondary mathematics teachers, particularly those whose pathway to certification has included limited post-secondary studies of mathematics. 
Experimental Academics in Action at ERAU (EAA-at-ERAU)

  • PI Michael Wills

  • EAA@ERAU: IMAGINE an Experimental Academic Approach that puts academic experimentation into action in ways that attract and engage both existing students AND prospective students, students who want to join us in blazing a new trail, finding a new way to look at a tried-and-true topic.

FACD Course Evaluation and Assessment

  • CO-I Wendi Kappers

    CO-I Sara Ombres

  • The purpose of this research is to maintain appropriate and accurate records for the evaluation of the FACD (Faculty Development) courses offered by the Rothwell Center for Teaching and Learning Excellence. The evaluation will include: assignments included as part of the courses, end of course surveys, follow-up surveys and assessments. The review of these courses and their assignments will likely reveal common faculty misconceptions or faculty beliefs about teaching and learning which will not only aid the Rothwell CTLE, but other Faculty Development Centers looking to aid faculty with their teaching. The evaluation will also improve the Center’s faculty development process and help uncover future training needs that can be addressed by the Rothwell CTLE. This is an ongoing, department-specific report that can be reviewed by anyone in the university per request.
