, who developed the minor and course offerings and whocurrently serves as the minor coordinator, has a PhD in the Civil engineering and is a licensedprofessional engineer (PE) with several years of consulting and construction experience. Toenhance the pool of faculty supporting the minor, the newest faculty hired, also holds a PE incivil engineering with extensive design and consulting experience in the marine environment.Much of the cost of initiating the minor was funded by the general administration of theinstitution and its programs. From the administration’s perspective, elements that should beconsidered in the cost of initiating a new minor include: ● Hiring new faculty to support program. ● Assignment of classroom and laboratory

opinion that education in a new learning paradigm willbetter prepare students for the work ahead of them. Whether it be performance arts liketheatre and music, or be it a laboratory setting like physics or biology, studentperformance can be effectively accentuated by adopting creative instructional lessonplans. Furthermore, many of our educational institutions have tried to move away fromemphasizing the establishment of a strong knowledge-base. In this paper the authordiscusses two models that he has successfully utilized for accentuating studentperformance. The first is identified as Concept Mapping Model and the second inidentified as Structured Content Model. These two models are of particular interest to Ocean Engineering Courses

corrective alternatives for improvement.One of the most beneficial activities has been the Summer Research Internships (called SUMREX)where students from UPRM have been able to participate in research projects in several affiliateduniversities and laboratories during the summers of 2016, 2017 and 2018. In summary a total of 19interns have taken advantage of the opportunity to do research while being paid and get to knowhow other universities and research laboratories operate. The students went to Oregon StateUniversity, University of Central Florida, Louisiana State University and the Coastal and HydraulicLaboratory
