Unmanned Aerial Systems Research, Development, Education and Training at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University
  • PI Michael Hickey

  • With technological breakthroughs in miniaturized aircraft-related components, including but not limited to communications, computer systems and sensors and, state-of-the-art unmanned aerial systems (UAS) have become a reality. This fast growing industry is anticipating and responding to a myriad of societal applications that will provide either new or more cost effective solutions that previous technologies could not, or will replace activities that involved humans in flight with associated risks.
Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) Application to Support Aircraft Rescue and Fire Fighting (ARFF)
  • PI Brent Terwilliger

    CO-I David Ison

    CO-I Dennis Vincenzi

    CO-I Dahai Liu

  • This continuing research project features refinement of UAS application methods to support of ARFF responses. Previously, modeling and simulation, in combination with UAS attribute performance models, was implemented to better understand challenges, limitations, and potential benefits of UAS support. However, based on the findings and recommendations of the original inquiry, the research will be expanded to include examination of operator knowledge, skills, and abilities (KSAs), performance rating standards, and appropriate training requirements and delivery approaches.

Update content and teaching design, CISSP Official Training Course, to meet 2021 best security practices
  • PI Michael Wills

  • Research, curate, and redevelop all course materials to meet 2021 best cybersecurity practices and certification requirements for (ISC)2 Certified Information Systems Security Professional program
UUV-UAS Operational and Training Shared KSAs
  • PI David Thirtyacre

    CO-I Joseph Cerreta

  • Uncrewed Underwater Vehicles (UAV) and Uncrewed Aircraft Systems (UAS) operate in a similar fashion. However, there are major differences in the environment and control methods. This research investigates the similarities and differences and makes recommendations on effective cross training.

Viability and application of mounting personal PID VOC sensors to small unmanned aircraft systems
  • PI Cheri Marcham

    CO-I Scott Burgess

    CO-I Patti Clark

    CO-I Joseph Cerreta

  • ​This project evaluated the feasibility of using small unmanned aircraft systems (sUAS) equipped with commercial photoionization detectors to remotely detect and characterize airborne volatile organic compounds. Internal ERAU College of Aviation funding supported interdisciplinary field testing, student involvement, and dissemination through national conferences and a peer-reviewed journal publication.
Virtual Communities of Practice: Scaling, Belonging, and Effective Feedback
  • PI Cristina Cottom

    CO-I Angela Atwell

    CO-I Lisa Martino

    CO-I Sara Ombres

  • The purpose of this research study is to extend CTLE-W's previous research on virtual faculty learning communities (VCoP) by testing a new VCoP for scalability with an expanded participation pool. This study also seeks to increase the sense of belonging among non-collocated faculty participants and to use the VCoP to provide continuing education on effective feedback practices.This VCoP and the research study will last for 8 weeks during the fall and spring. As part of the participation in the VCoP faculty will complete several online asynchronous activities using VoiceThread to discuss effective feedback practices, as well as a survey at the beginning and end of their VCoP experience. 

Virtual Community of Practice for Globally Dispersed Online Adjunct Faculty
  • PI Sara Ombres

    PI Cristina Cottom

    CO-I Lisa Martino

    CO-I Angela Atwell

  • This research study seeks to determine if participation in a virtual community of practice (VCoP) increases online adjunct faculty members’ sense of belonging within the university. This VCoP and the research study will last for 8 weeks. As part of the participation in the VCoP online adjunct faculty will complete several online asynchronous activities, as well as a survey at the beginning and end of their VCoP experience.

What Differentiates Superior Performing Aviation and Aerospace Leaders
  • PI Linda Pittenger

  • The requirements of leaders today are radically different than just a couple years ago. Leaders need to be able to manage change, think critically, act globally, think technologically, and successfully lead a diverse workforce. Specific behavioral competencies may distinguish superior performing leaders from average performing leaders
