If at first you do not succeed: the student benefits of multiple trials on summative assessments.
PI Emily Faulconer
CO-I John Griffith
CO-I Hayden Frank
This paper explores the combination of multiple attempts on assessments with immediate feedback through the LMS. The data reveals that students who do not earn an A are likely to use additional attempts and they tend to do better on future attempts.

Representations of the Military in 20th Century Ethnic American Literature
PI Kara Fontenot
Building on existing literary and ethnic studies scholarship with respect to the construction of American identity, I am considering the political work of representations of the U.S military in ethnic American literature. Ethnic American texts that contain representations of the U.S. military are an essential yet understudied part of a politicized, nation-centered critical discourse that examines strategies for constructing and negotiating national identity, practices of inclusion and exclusion with regard to citizenship and relationships between individual, racial group, ethnic group and nation.

Determinants of Aviation Students’ Intentions to Use Virtual Reality for Flight Training
PI Stephanie Fussell, Ph.D.
CO-I Dothang Truong
The goal of this research was to determine the factors that influence aviation students’ intention to use VR for flight training. An extended Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) was developed that incorporates elements of the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB); factors derived from relevant, validated extended TAMs; and new factors that are theorized to impact use intention. These factors are related to aviation education, the use of VR technology in training environments, and using VR for flight training. The new model may explain flight students’ acceptance of VR for flight training as well as their intent to use the technology. A quantitative research method with a cross-sectional survey design was utilized. Descriptive statistical analysis, a confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), and a structural equation modeling (SEM) process were employed. Data were collected from aviation students enrolled in FAA-approved Part 141 pilot schools in early 2020 using a survey design. Results indicated a good model fit to answer the three research questions of the study. There were 14 hypotheses in the original model. Although one was removed, an additional relationship was discovered, validated, and added to the model. Nine of the hypotheses were supported. Eight of the nine predictor factors of the model were determined to directly or indirectly impact behavioral intention (BI). The original TAM factors had the strongest relationships. Relationships between factors particularly relevant to VR technology and aviation training were also supported.

Composite Wind Turbine Blade
PI Sathya Gangadharan
The world's primary energy needs are projected to grow by 56% between 2005 and 2030, by an average annual rate of 1.8% per year (International Energy Agency, 2012). Energy policy has confirmed the improvement of the environment sustainability of energy as a primary objective also though increasing use of renewable sources (Increasing Wind Energy's contribution to U.S. Electricity supply, 2008).
