- The need for qualified salespeople is increasing in the workforce with the number of sales jobs up to 15.8 million, a jump over the past four years of 445,000 (Bureau of Labor, 2013). While there has been growth in colleges offering sales curriculum (Cummins, Peltier, Erffmeyer, & Whalen, 2013; Deeter-Schmelz & Kennedy, 2011; Dixon & Tanner, 2012), there is still unmet demand for sales jobs with sales representatives being the second hardest job to fill this year , a trend that has endured since 2006 (Manpower Survey, 2013).

This research study aims to explore how students transfer skills learned during a simulation to a real-world application setting; primarily from MyITlab to Microsoft Office. By gaining a better understanding of how students transfer knowledge from the simulated activity to the application, instructors will be able to better aid the students in more effectively making this transition.

- This research focuses on sUAS MAC likelihood analysis with general aviation (GA) and commercial aircraft. Because severity research varies based on where a collision occurred on a manned aircraft, this likelihood research will not only look at the probability of a MAC, but also the likelihood of colliding with different parts of a manned aircraft.

- The overarching objective for this research project is to develop a model for determining SMS effectiveness in an aviation/aerospace organization. Specific tasks are:Design a model scalable to the size of the organization. In other words, it will be adaptable for use for major airlines and small, commuter operations,Evaluate the model for validity and reliability,Incorporate a tool for determination as to whether an organization has the necessary components in place and operational for SMS,Provide a scoring matrix by which the level of effectiveness can be set and compared to other aerospace/aviation organizations.

This NSF funded project seeks to develop a novel software that will provide a variety of pedestrian dynamics models, infection spread models, as well as data so that scientists can analyze the effect of different mechanisms on the spread of directly transmitted diseases in crowded areas. The initial focus of this project is on air travel. However, the software can be extended to a broader scope of applications in movement analysis and epidemiology, such as in theme parks and sports venues. Development of the proposed software will involve several innovations. It will include a novel phylogeography model that links fine-scale human movement data with virus genetic information to more accurately model geographic diffusion of viruses. New models for pedestrian movement will enable modeling of complex human movement patterns. A recommendation system for the choice of pedestrian dynamics models and a domain specific language for the input of policies and human behaviors will enhance usability by researchers in diverse fields. Community building initiatives will catalyze inter-disciplinary research to ensures the long-term sustainability of the project through a critical mass of contributors and users.

This research focuses on the development of field deployed multi-spectral computer vision systems for use on maritime vessels, buoys, ports, and for use on unoccupied aerial systems. The approach includes development of both General Purpose Graphics Processing Unit and multi-core image processing along with Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) hybrid architectures for low-power real-time computer vision. The mission is detection and monitoring of security, environmental and safety threats in Arctic maritime environments.

- Over the past two decades, organizations have been interested in finding what would be the optimum shape such that a vessel traveling through water would be undetected, in the sense that it will not produce quake waves. In the lab we will build such a ship with the shape of an inverted soliton and find the optimum traveling velocity to minimize the quake.

- This multi-year study will continue until 2025- The data will be correlated with previous years and will generate an annual report on the health of the Logistics industry in Southern California
- The basic goal of the research is to understand impacts to aviation stakeholders of the National Airspace System (NAS) due to space launch activities. The focus of the research is to study impacts to general aviation (GA), particularly with respect to airports and airport users, near and around Cape Canaveral, FL. Further, several avenues will be assessed to determine what aspects of GA are impacted, where, when, how, and why. Data will be collected and analyzed in alternate methods other than the originally-proposed simulation and modeling. As an aside, per FAA input and following review of extant literature, impacts to GA have not been adequately researched. Until recently, the industry and the FAA have largely focused on impacts to airlines (Tinoco, Eudy, Cannon 2020). As a result, we believe this effort will lead to interesting outcomes and fill a much-needed gap in the literature.
