Resolving Physical Conditions of Diffuse Ionized Gas throughout the Milky Way-Magellanic System
PI Lawrence Haffner
CO-I Edwin Mierkiewicz
We use a dedicated, sensitive spectroscopic facility in Chile, the Wisconsin H-Alpha Mapper (WHAM), to study the physical conditions of the diffuse ionized gas (DIG) in the Milky Way and Magellanic System.

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.

Implementing Active Learning Techniques in an Undergraduate Aviation Meteorology Course
PI Daniel Halperin

CO-I Thomas Guinn
CO-I Kim Chambers
Student feedback from end-of-course evaluations repeatedly indicated a desire to change the format of the course by de-emphasizing the PowerPoint-based lectures. The goal of the present study was to determine whether including a set of new active-learning techniques in an Aviation Weather course would result in better student understanding (as measured by exam scores) and make the course more engaging (as measured by end-of-course evaluations). During 2018-19, three instructors implemented five different active-learning techniques into their classes (i.e., the experimental group), while two instructors continued to use the unrevised course materials (i.e., the control group). The new active-learning techniques, described below, included daily quizzes, polling questions, flipped classroom sessions, in-class activities, and assertion-evidence-based lectures. All sections used the same assignments and exams, allowing for direct assessment of the effectiveness of the active-learning techniques. Analyses of Variance (ANOVA) tables were used to determine the statistical significance of the differences in exam scores. Indirect assessments in the form of end-of-course evaluations were also examined.

Adding Tropical Cyclone Verification Capabilities to the Model Evaluation Tools – Tropical Cyclone (MET-TC) Software
PI Daniel Halperin
Producing reliable tropical cyclone (TC) genesis forecasts is an operational priority. The National Hurricane Center uses several TC genesis guidance products for their Tropical Weather Outlook. Furthermore, global model output is used in many TC genesis guidance products and is considered an important source of deterministic TC genesis forecast guidance. This project creates a standard framework for verifying deterministic and probabilistic TC genesis forecasts using the TC-Gen tool in the Model Evaluation Tools software package.

An Exploratory Study of General Aviation Visual to Instrument Meteorological Condition Contextual Factors
PI James Hartman
CO-I Mark Friend
The purpose of this dissertation was to bridge the existing literature gap of outdated contextual factor (CF) research through examination and determination of current General Aviation (GA) Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 91 visual flight rules (VFR)-into-instrument meteorological condition (IMC) contextual factors. Contextual factors are a multifaceted arrangement of pertinent events or occurrences contributing to pilot accidents in weather-related decision-making errors.
