In the previous story in this edition of ARFF News, Chairman Kann has written about the ARFF Working Group’s plan to work jointly with the Federal Aviation Administration on applied research projects that will address each of the four National Transportation Safety Board’s recommendations from the report on the Asiana Flight 214 crash at San Francisco International Airport.

Designing Case Study Research For Pedagogical Application And Scholarly Outcomes, Jacqueline R. Luedtke, Juan R. Merkt, Brent D. Bowen
Aeronautical Science - Prescott
The purpose of this paper is to present the pedagogical/andragogical model of case study research in capstone courses in collegiate aviation programs. As higher education continues to advance in examining new or different ways to engage students, case study research in a capstone course affords seniors the opportunity to engage in learning how to plan, investigate, write a case study research report and present their findings on a topic of interest.

Throughout the past few years, we have attended every large national fire and rescue conference as exhibitors promoting Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University’s (ERAU) Bachelor degree in Emergency Services. At every event, no matter the geographical location of the conference, the gender, age, or professional status as career or volunteer, one theme was ever present in conversations: “What will I actually gain from taking academic classes?”
Standards-Based Grading In A Fluid Mechanics Course, Scott L. Post
Standards-Based Grading In A Fluid Mechanics Course, Scott L. Post
Publications
Standards based grading is a formal assessment mechanism that tests for student achievement of specified learning objectives, or standards. Standards-Based-Grading has been gaining in popularity in K-12 education, and also has been seeing increased use in higher education. With increased pressure from ABET to measure achievement of student outcomes, Standards-Based Grading provides a method to do that within the traditional course setting without having to generate a separate set of data outside the normal course grading. This paper describes how Standards-Based Grading was implemented in a junior-level fluid mechanics course that included both lecture and laboratory components. A total of …
Passive Circuits For Active Learning Revisited, Scott L. Post
Passive Circuits For Active Learning Revisited, Scott L. Post
Publications
The pedagogical literature has consistently and repeatedly shown that active learning is more effective than passive learning in teaching students fundamental engineering concepts, yet the lecture persists as the primary method of classroom organization for the vast majority of professors. Even among those professors who have read the literature and are willing to change their teaching methods, a barrier to adoption of active learning strategies is the time and effort required to develop the classroom activities for a particular course. This paper describes a series of experiments that can be done in class with low-cost equipment in an introductory circuits …

Educating Upper Management On The Role Of The Registrar, Mj Caro, Edward Trombley
Office of the Registrar
Senior managers in higher education come from different backgrounds; some are very familiar with the role of the Registrar in higher education and some are not. This presentation covers how to “educate” upper management on the role of the Registrar in order to ensure that the Registrar’s voice is heard and included in appropriate conversations.

The Impact Of Training And Technology On The Future Of Aviation, Jennifer Oberg
Graduate Student Works
The comprehensive exam proposal is intended to address the core competency requirements for the degree of Master of Aeronautical Science. In addition, the proposal will address the competency requirements for the Aviation Education Specialization. In partial fulfillment of these requirements, the proposal will examine human factors as they pertain specifically to the arena of unmanned flight, the impact computer based training and web based training advances have and will continue to have on the aviation community, the technological, social, environmental, and political aspects of the air cargo industry as they pertain to the industry’s survival, the ability of Next Generation …

This chapter investigates faculty expectations for student writing, specifically L2 writers of English, across disciplines at a flagship university and an urban community college in the southwest. Drawing from a faculty survey and follow-up interviews with faculty from various disciplines, the authors argue that study participants tend to hold multilingual writers to a monolingual standard, but that they are conflicted and/or ambivalent about this practice. The survey and interview data show, first, that markers of nonnative speaker status or any features that depart from Standard American Academic English often discourage and even preclude engagement with higher order concerns like ideas …
Does The Online Environment Promote Plagiarism? A Comparative Study Of Dissertations From Brick-And-Mortar Versus Online Institutions, David C. Ison
Does The Online Environment Promote Plagiarism? A Comparative Study Of Dissertations From Brick-And-Mortar Versus Online Institutions, David C. Ison
Aeronautics, Graduate Studies - Worldwide
In recent years, there has been a concern that the Internet has been contributing to a growth in student plagiarism. This paper reports on a study aimed at investigating if there were differences between plagiarism levels in doctoral dissertations submitted by students enrolled at traditional, brick-and-mortar institutions and those by students attending online counterparts. A sample of 368 dissertations written between 2009 and 2013 (184 from traditional institutions and 184 from online institutions) were mined from an online database and uploaded to Turnitin for analysis. A Mann–Whitney U test was conducted on the similarity indices calculated by Turnitin. The test …

Triple Bottom Line Accounting (TBLA) refers to a method of measuring the economic, environmental, and community service impacts of an organization rather than the traditional practice of measuring just the financial bottom line. This chapter explores TBLA from a historical point-of-view; offers examples in higher education and discusses the implications for academic libraries. It concludes with ideas for the implementation of TBLA in libraries.

Project teams, a mainstay in industry practice, are being employed in many capstone design courses. This paper examines industry models for teams and their application to a specific capstone design course. Following Katzenbach and Smith’s basics of high performing teams, teams are formed based on individuals skills. The team is made accountable and committed both as a group and as individuals through the structure and format of the course. The course structure is then planned so that teams progress through Tuckman’s development stages of forming, storming, norming and performing, during their two semester capstone design project.
