These Proceedings are dedicated to the memory of Dr. Gerald T. Noel,
Sr., who passed away suddenly on April 1, 2012. Dr. Noel served as the
Associate Director of the Ohio Space Grant Consortium (OSGC) and also
as the Campus Representative from Central State University. We thank
you for your countless contributions to STEM research, education, and
especially to our students!

FOREWORD
The Ohio Space Grant Consortium (OSGC), a member of the NASA National Space Grant
College and Fellowship Program, awards graduate fellowships and undergraduate scholarships to
students working toward degrees in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics
(STEM) disciplines at OSGC-member universities. The awards are made to United States
citizens, and the students are competitively selected. Since the inception of the program in 1989,
847 undergraduate scholarships and 148 graduate fellowships have been awarded.
Matching funds are provided by the member universities, the Ohio Aerospace Institute (OAI),
and private industry. Note that this year approximately $600,000 will be directed to scholarships
and fellowships representing contributions from NASA, the Ohio Aerospace Institute, member
universities, and industry.
By helping more students to graduate with STEM-related degrees, OSGC provides more
qualified technical employees to industry. At the Doctoral level, students have a government
co-advisor in addition to their faculty mentor, and perform research at one of the following Ohio
federal laboratories: NASA Glenn Research Center or the Air Force Research Laboratory at
Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. The research conducted for the Master’s and Doctoral degrees
must be of interest to NASA. A prime aspect of the scholarship program is the undergraduate
research project that the student performs under the mentorship of a faculty member. This
research experience is effective in encouraging U. S. undergraduate students to attend graduate
school in STEM. The Education scholarship recipients are required to attend a workshop
conducted by NASA personnel where they are exposed to NASA educational materials for use in
their future classrooms.
On Friday, April 20, 2012, all OSGC Scholars and Fellows reported on these projects at the
Twentieth Annual Student Research Project Symposium held at the Ohio Aerospace Institute in
Cleveland, Ohio. In seven different sessions, Fellows and Senior Scholars offered 15-minute
oral presentations on their research projects and fielded questions from an audience of their peers
and faculty, and received written critiques from a panel of evaluators. Junior, Community
College, and Education Scholars presented posters of their research and entertained questions
from all attendees during the afternoon poster session. All students were awarded Certificates of
Recognition for participating in the annual event.
Research reports of students from the following schools are contained in this publication:
