accomplished by creating interesting research assignments that are short, yet appropriate to the topic under discussion.Reflection : Feedback helps towards thoughtful evaluation of the changes implemented. Only reflection can provide a tool for continuous improvement. Feedback must be scrutinized and summarized and used as part of continuous quality improvement. Most instructors do conduct an evaluation of the course at the end of the semester. Additional questions should be included to find out how the students react and reflect to the course delivery methodology.Nurture

are required to present their research workthree times while they are in the Netherlands: 5-minute research plan; 10-minute research progress;and 15-minute final presentation. By preparing these presentations, students learn how to collect data,interview stakeholders, lead/participate in brain-storming discussions, and adjust/improve theirresearch products. Students also learn how to interact with people from different disciplines and look atthe issues from diverse perspectives. 1This article describes the design process of the Program, from initial development throughimplementation. Reflections and lessons learned from the first three years of the Program are shared.IntroductionAs

sheltered by the island.NUMERICAL MODELS The USACE Coastal Modeling System (CMS) numerical models (Demirbilek andRosati, 2011) were implemented in the present modeling study. The CMS is a suite ofnumerical wave, current, salinity, and sediment transport models consisting of CMS-Wave and CMS-Flow. CMS-Wave is a finite-difference, two-dimensional steady-statewave spectral transformation model that calculates wave propagation, generation,refraction, diffraction, reflection, transmission, run-up, and wave-current interaction (Linet al. 2008, 2011). CMS-Flow is a finite-difference, time-dependent three-dimensionalcirculation model which also calculates sediment transport, morphology change, salinity,and temperature fields (Buttolph et al. 2006

Puerto Rico and the U.S. VirginIslands reflect an increase in sea level of about 0.08 inches (2.0 mm) per year for the period 1962–2017 for Puerto Rico and for 1975–2017 for the U.S. Virgin Islands. The bottom panels show acloser look at more recent trends from 2000 to 2017 that measure a rise in sea level of about 0.24inches (6.0 mm) per year. Projections of sea level rise are shown under three different scenarios ofIntermediate-Low (1–2 feet), Intermediate (3–4 feet), and Extreme (9–11 feet) sea level rise. Thescenarios depict the range of future sea level rise based on factors such as global greenhouse gasemissions and the loss of glaciers and ice sheets.
