The changes of the capstone design practicesover the past 20 years were captured in the “2015 Capstone Survey results” published by Howeet al [4],[5].

Gettingstudents to transfer their knowledge into increasingly disparate contexts can then increase theirunderlying understanding of the material [1, 2].

However, many in the maritime community feelthat there are certain applications, such as non-electric vessels, that will require a trained crewonboard [3].This uncertainty means that academic institutions are hesitant to fund new advanced trainingprograms until they are certain what they should look like.
