From Middle School to Industry Vertical Integration to Inspire Interest in Computational Thinking
PI Massood Towhidnejad
CO-I Thomas Hilburn
While students typically do not see immediate advantages of the topics being studies, top down integration exposes students to larger, more complex projects, giving them better appreciation for topics as they realize the “big picture.”

Developing Artifact Peer Review Assignment Methodologies to Maximize the Value of Peer Review for Students
PI Matthew Verleger
This engineering education research project seeks to develop a proof-of-concept peer review matching algorithm and demonstrate if it is a valuable and viable methodology for conducting peer review. Peer review is a proven method that has positive impact on student learning. The project will test the algorithm on Model Eliciting Activities in the engineering classroom, and investigate how changing peer review can affect student learning.

Small UAS (sUAS) Mid-Air Collision (MAC) Likelihood
PI Ryan Wallace
CO-I Dothang Truong
CO-I Scott Winter
CO-I David Cross
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.

Best practices in teaching statistics and research methods within an aviation curriculum
PI Robert Walton
Student learning assessment is necessary at most universities, the question is whether or not student learning assessment though the use of tests can be turned into a less anxiety-provoking experience and, most ideally, into a summative learning experience for students. Using a three-test format student assessment this research examined an alternate testing paradigm, aiming directly at anxiety associated with tests and grades.
