A Comparison Of Safety Management Systems Training Methods At A Collegiate Flight Training Institution
PI Mackenzie Dickson
The purpose of this thesis was to compare how two different types of Safety Management Systems (SMS) training affect SMS knowledge in instructors and students in a university flight program. Additionally, the research sought to determine whether a correlation exists between safety knowledge and safety culture perception. An experimental research design was used to study two independent variables, training method and person type, and their effect of SMS knowledge. A non-experimental design was used to study the correlation between safety knowledge and safety culture perception. Research has shown that a safety-training program’s engagement level has an effect on the safety knowledge retained by trainees. This study sought to determine if higher-engagement, live- presentation training is a better approach to SMS training than a computer-based training module currently in use by the university studied. The results of this study can provide the university with useful guidance in constructing its SMS training program, an essential element to an effective SMS. Additionally, this study can demonstrate the importance of safety training in establishing positive perceptions of the university’s safety culture among students and instructors.

A Comparison of Online and Traditional Undergraduate Introductory Physics
PI Emily Faulconer
CO-I John Griffith
CO-I Beverly Wood
CO-I Soumyadip Acharyya
CO-I Donna Roberts
While the equivalence between online and traditional classrooms has been well-researched, very little of this includes college level introductory physics. Only one study explored physics at the whole-class level rather than specific course components such as a single lab or a homework platform. In this work, we compared the failure rate, grade distribution, and withdrawal rates in an introductory undergraduate physics course across several learning modes including traditional face-to-face instruction, synchronous video instruction, and online classes.

A Review of Allelopathy of Schinus terebinthifolius: Using published data to inform future research
PI Emily Faulconer
CO-I Zachary Dixon
The Brazilian pepper plant (Schinus terebinthifolius) has been identified as an invasive species in multiple geographic regions around the globe. One characteristic that contributes to its invasiveness is allelopathy. This review provides a comprehensive look at the current research on phytotoxicity and cytotoxicity and presents the characterizations of the terpenoid and phenolic allelochemicals provided in previous works. Future areas of research are identified as a result of this review.
