Teaching Bio ~ Miles Hamby |

Military
and Commercial Aviation. Before I found my true vocation as a teacher and educator, I actually began a career in aviation at the United States Air Force Academy. After graduating in 1971, I attended USAF Undergraduate Pilot Training (UPT) at Vance Air Force Base. My first assignment was as a C-130 pilot at Pope Air Force Base, NC, and then two years at Yokota Air Base, Japan. |

I left active
duty in 1977 and began commercial flying. My commercial experience includes
Part 135 single pilot operation in a Piper Seneca, 450 hours as a flight
engineer in B-727 and DC-8 for Braniff Airways, and
2,000 hours as a First Officer on the DC-8 for Capitol Airways and First
Officer on the DC-9 for Continental Airlines. A New Career in Training
& Education. About
1988, I embarked on a career change and became more active in teaching. I
have earned a Masters of Public Administration Degree from North Carolina
State University and a Ph.D. in Education (as distinguished from an Ed.D.) from the University of Maryland. After moving to the Washington D.C. area in 1989, I
worked as a training consultant to the FAA and DOD and as a flight simulator
instructor for a large regional airline and several foreign airlines. I have
even taught in Spanish. In the recent past, I have taught FAA exam
preparation seminars with a 100% pass rate.
Clients have included private individuals, Bell Helicopter, Texas
Dept. of Public Safety, Delaware Dept. Of Public Safety, New Jersey Dept. of
Public Safety, and contracts with all the armed forces. |

Professor of Business, Management &
Statistics.
Recently, my teaching career
has focused on Business and Management.
During my career in teaching, I was a full-time Professor of Business
& Management at Baltimore International College (BIC) and Strayer University, and an adjunct Professor of Research
Methods for Argosy University. I also
served as Director of Institutional Research for BIC, Dean of Institutional
Research for Strayer University, and Director of
Institutional Research and Assessment for American College of Commerce &
Technology. During those times I was
doing research into student satisfaction and teaching styles, a topic in
which I became interested during my own doctoral dissertation research into
airline pilot learning and teaching styles (see Airline
Pilot Learning and Teaching Styles).
One outcome of my research was the development of my Student
Persistence Index
(SPI). Research Writing. My current field of specialty is guiding doctoral candidates through
their Doctoral Dissertation process (see Dissertation
& Research Consulting). I have
guided over 40 candidates through completion of their doctoral degrees to
include Ph.D. (Doctor of Philosophy), D.B.A. (Doctor of Business
Administration), and Ed.D. (Doctor of Education) in
fields that include counseling, education, and business. I am currently publishing a book Writing
Research: a Handbook for Writing Dissertations and Research Articles. Resume.
