Comparison of Grades Based on Learning Mode: How Learning Environment Impacts Grades
PI John Griffith
CO-I Donna Roberts
CO-I Beverly Wood
A comparison of failure rates and grade distribution will be conducted between four learning disciplines utilized by Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University-Worldwide: Eagle Vision Classroom (synchronous classroom to classroom), Eagle Vision Home (synchronous home to home), Online and traditional classroom learning environments. Researchers will examine approximately 20,000 Embry-Riddle end-of-course student grades from the 2015-2016 academic year. The study will determine if significant relationships between failing grades and learning environment (modes) exist between the English, Humanities, Economics and Mathematics disciplines. Due to the continued technological advancements in course delivery, recommendations from previous studies in this area include continued research on the relationship of student performance and learning mode.

Observations and Analysis of Wave-Induced Constituent Transport in the Mesopause Region
PI Zhuangren Liu
Vertical constituent transport is a fundamental atmospheric process that has profound effects on the chemistry and composition of the mesosphere and lower thermosphere (MLT). The contributions of gravity wave to the transport and its impact on the composition and structure of the mesopause region is being investigated using a combination of theory, observations and atmospheric chemical models.

Measuring Interstellar Temperature and Ionization Variations Using Observations of Faint Diffuse [OII] Emission
PI Edwin Mierkiewicz
The interstellar medium (ISM) plays a vital role in the ongoing cycle of stellar birth and death as well as galactic evolution. However the role of interstellar matter, from how its properties are influenced by stars to how, in turn, its properties influence star formation is poorly understood.

High Spectral Resolution Observations of Lunar Exospheric Emissions
PI Edwin Mierkiewicz
We are employing high-resolution Fabry-Perot spectroscopy of neutral sodium and potassium emission to investigate the morphology and dynamics of the lunar sodium exosphere. Likely atmosphere source mechanisms are thermal desorption, photo-desorption, ion sputtering, and meteoric impact ablation.

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.
