Aeroelastic Gust-Airfoil Interaction Numerical Studies
PI Vladimir Golubev
The project conducted in collaboration with WPAFB and Eglin AFB AFRL scientists over the past 8 years employs DOD HPC and ERAU computer facilities to conduct high-fidelity, low-Reynolds, aeroelastic gust-airfoil interaction studies to model unsteady responses and their control for small UAVs operating, e.g., in highly unsteady urban canyons.

Self-Sustained Flow-Acoustic Interactions in Airfoil Transitional Boundary Layers
PI Vladimir Golubev
CO-I Reda Mankbadi
This work carries out collaborative theoretical, experimental and numerical investigations of flow-acoustic resonant interactions in transitional airfoils which are responsible for sudden appearance of prominent acoustic tones and unsteady aerodynamic fluctuations in low-Reynolds-number airfoils.

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.

A Tale of Two Airlines: A Comparative Case Study of High-Road versus Low-Road Strategies in Customer Service and Reputation Management
PI John Griffith
CO-I Donna Roberts
This proposal represents an in-depth comparative case study highlighting the differences in marketing strategies, employee relations and customer (internal and external) service models between American low cost carrier Southwest Airlines and European low cost carrier Ryanair. Analysis will focus on the differing brand personalities of the two airlines, particularly with regard to customer service and its relationship to customer satisfaction and overall corporate success from the early days of these organizations through 2013.

Information Systems (IS) and Information Security & Assurance (ISA) Curriculum Development and Design: A DACUM Approach.
PI Leila Halawi
PI Wendi Kappers
PI Aaron Glassman
Issues associated with information security are numerous and diverse. Since the majority of organizational actions rely greatly on information and communication technologies, Information Systems (IS) security and Information Security & Assurance (ISA) is now a main concern for firms, governments, institutes, and society as a whole. As a result, a plethora of graduate programs have been created, covering nearly every aspect of IS security. The purpose of this project is to document the findings for using a particularly inventive and extremely efficient technique of job skill analysis known as a DACUM, which stands for “developing a curriculum.” A DACUM begins with an identification of an industry pool that is further reduced to an expert panel, culminating in a daylong workshop to identify new job skill statements and skill needs.
