STEM Literacy and Service-Learning

  • PI Sally Blomstrom

  • This service-learning project investigates STEM literacy and involves students in sections of Speech (COM 219). Students create an audio tour about a specimen from the A. Jewell Schock Natural History Museum. The audio tour includes the specimen’s scientific name, a description of its biology, its habitat, its diet, and the forces of flight related to the specimen as well as its biomechanics.
Strategies For Preventing Asteroids, Meteoroids, and Comets From Striking The Earth

  • PI Jonathan Campbell

  • This is a line of research encompassing multiple system approaches including laser, nuclear, kinetic energy, and supporting technologies.
Student Engagement in Aviation MOOCs: Identifying Subgroups and Their Differences

  • PI Jennifer Edwards

    CO-I Mark Friend

  • ​The purpose of this study was to expand the current understanding of learner engagement in aviation-related Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) through cluster analysis. 
Student Perceptions of Pilot Pathway Programs and Motivation to Join

  • PI Lauren Burmester

    CO-I Becky Lutte

  • This study seeks to explore what motivates university students to join airline pathway programs, their perceptions of the benefits and drawbacks, and how these perceptions can inform strategies to enhance program effectiveness and increase participation.
sUAS Agricultural Aerial Application Spreading Efficiency

  • PI David Thirtyacre

    CO-I Joseph Cerreta

    CO-I Scott Burgess

  • The use of UAS in agricultural operations is increasing under the 14CFR Part 137 regulations. However, there is little data on the efficiency of using UAS to spread gradual products. This research seeks to determine efficiency through flight testing.
Supply Chain Risk Management

  • PI Aman Gupta

    CO-I Ronald Mau

  • Supply Chain Risk Management (SCRM) is characterized by identification and reduction of risks focused on the entire supply chain associated with three different flows namely, material, financial, and informational flow. Using event study methods, we empirically investigate the effect on a firm's equity price (financial flow) related to delays, supplier issues and other issues associated with the firm's supply chain in the Aviation and Aerospace industry.
Synthetic Jet-Based Robust MAV Flight Controller

  • PI Vladimir Golubev

  • This project conducts theoretical and high-fidelity numerical analyses of UAV robust flight controller employing synthetic-jet actuators (SJAs). The technology-demonstration feasibility study focuses on SJA-based suppression of gust-induced airfoil flutter.

Targeting Spraying for Artificial Pollination of Kiwifruit Flowers and other Crops
Teaching Innovation

  • PI Aaron Glassman

    CO-I Rosalee Opengart

  • This research will examine the role of cognitive predisposition in the ability of university students to operationalize innovation. Using Regulatory Focus Theory as a lens, different university curricula from schools teaching innovation will be compared to determine if there is a specific way in which innovation could be taught to allow the most number of students to operationalize the concept of innovation. Finally, innovation as a concept will be connected to entrepreneurship and creativity and the scope of the research widened for further study.
Team Cognition in Human-Automation Teams

  • PI Haydee Maria Cuevas

  • The overall goal of this research project is to investigate the essential knowledge, skills and abilities, and attitudes (KSAs) that are indicative of successful UAS operator performance.
Technology Survey on UAS Propulsion Systems

  • PI Timothy Wilson

  • The purpose of this paper is to cast in broad strokes the scope, schedule and cost of a Technology Survey on UAS Propulsion Systems which composes Phase 1.
Telerobotic Perception During Asteroid and Mars Regolith Operations Sensor Research and Development

  • PI Richard Prazenica

    CO-I Hever Moncayo

  • In this project, ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ is investigating, together with NASA Kennedy Space Center, the effect of difficult lighting and dust conditions on Telerobotic Perception Systems to better assess and refine regolith operations for asteroid, Mars, and polar lunar missions.
