Applying Second Language Acquisition to Facilitate a Blended Learning of Programming Languages

  • PI Lulu Sun

    CO-I Christina Frederick

    CO-I Paula Sanjuan Espejo

    CO-I Rebecca Rohmeyer

  • This research seeks to fundamentally change how students learn programming using Second Language Acquisition and Blended Learning (SLA-aBLe). This approach can be easily transferred to K-12 curricula, increasing access to STEM learning for diverse student populations. By developing an engineering faculty member's expertise in engineering education research, it will enhance communication and collaboration among faculty members and student researchers in different disciplines.
Artificial Immune System for Flight Envelope Estimation and Protection

  • PI Hever Moncayo

  • This research project, funded by the US Defense Department, represents a collaboration between ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ (ERAU) and West Virginia University (WVU). Two ERAU graduate students are fully involved in this project, one AE PhD student and one Master Student.
Assessing If Motivation Impacts General Aviation Pilots’ Persistence in Varying Weather Conditions

  • PI Sabrina Woods

    CO-I Scott Winter

  • Continued flight under visual flight rules into instrument meteorological conditions is the predominant cause for fatal accidents by percentage, for general aviation aircraft operations. It is possible that a pilot’s motivation or reason for flying will override other safer, more logical courses of action when a hazard presents itself. The decision appears to stem from a willingness to persist in a course of action despite factors that indicate an alternate and safer course is warranted. This research addresses what is currently presumed about the decision to continue flying under visual flight rules into instrument conditions and marries those ideas with the extensive studies on how theoretically affects the decision-making process.

ASSURE A55

  • PI Richard Stansbury

    PI Christopher Herbster

  • The aviation industry uses flight data recorders (FDR) and cockpit voice recorders (CVR) to investigate accidents and incidents. FDRs record sensor data to provide information about an aircraft’s technical status, while CVRs record sounds from the cockpit to draw conclusions through crew communications and environmental sounds.
Auroral and Atmospheric Physics

  • PI Gulamabas Sivjee

    CO-I Matthew Zettergren

    CO-I Michael Hickey

    CO-I John Mathis

    CO-I Mark Reynolds

    CO-I Edwin Mierkiewicz

    CO-I John Hughes

  • Dr. Mike Hickey develops and runs numerical models to simulate the propagation and effects of acoustic-gravity waves in planetary atmospheres.

Automated Homework System: Improving Teaching Quality by Utilizing Technology

  • PI Farshid Azadian

  • One of the essential elements in improving the students' skills and abilities and helping them to better understand the course materials is homework assignments. A well designed and purposeful homework not only enhances the student's understanding but also may provide valuable feedback to instructors.
Autonomous Satellite Recovery

  • CO-I Devonte Grantham

    CO-I Janet Marnane

  • Embry-Riddle Future Space Explorers and Developers (ERFSEDS) will be attending a rocket competition in Utah this coming June, and they will receive extra points for the competition if they have a research project (not built by their club), Inside of their rockets. In collaboration with ERFSEDS, the Society 4 S.P.A.C.E. team would like to send a small satellite attached to a quad-coper as the research project (payload) for ERFSEDS rocket.
Aviation Safety Information Analysis and Sharing for General Aviation

  • PI Alan Stolzer

    CO-I Tim Brady

    CO-I Steven Hampton

    CO-I Michael O'Toole

    CO-I Cass Howell

  • In 2009, general aviation (GA) was responsible for approximately 95% of civil aviation accidents and 89% of fatalities. In spite of a safety record in clear need of improvement, there are various safety programs and efforts underway in the commercial sector that are not yet evident in GA.
Aviation Weather Forecast Guidance

  • PI Frederick Mosher

  • Effort is designed to develop aviation weather hazards forecast guidance focused on general aviation interests. The guidance will extend at least 3 1/2 days into the future.
Aviation/Aerospace Research: Suborbital Space Flight Simulator

  • PI Pedro LLanos

    CO-I Erik Seedhouse

  • The Suborbital Space Flight Simulator (SSFS) replicates in-vehicle parameters of a suborbital launch vehicle. These suborbital missions can be monitored from the Mission Control Center (MCC). These flight parameters include the size, general layout, and typical system indicators for a suborbital spaceflight mission, as well as an approximate replication of the visuals that would be seen on a suborbital spaceflight mission. The SSFS can be configured to replicate the mission profile and layout of multiple suborbital launch vehicles. The SSFS records 56 flight data parameters that can be used for studies. The SSFS can potentially be used by multiple organizations, with multiple capabilities.

Bayesian Analysis of Stellar Evolution

  • PI Theodore von Hippel

  • Bayesian Analysis of Stellar Evolution is an international collaboration studying stellar evolution with an emphasis on stellar ages. We also develop and support a Bayesian software suite that recovers star cluster and stellar parameters from photometry, currently called BASE-9.
Behavior of superalloys subjected to fatigue loads under high temperature

  • PI Alberto Mello

    CO-I Paulina De La Torre Morales

    CO-I Open Position - New students are welcome

  • This study is evaluating what initial conditions can activate cubic slip planes, then the level of accommodation and strain homogenization within the grain, and how a given initial condition affects the material behavior when subjected to operational cyclic loads under high temperature.
