The Coastal Resiliency course provides preparation for the real-world practice ofengineering by exposing students to the importance of risk and vulnerability assessment withinthe context of changing climatic conditions. As a sea-going service, the majority of the USCG’sassets are along the coastline.

Effective written communication skills are essential for engineers, as is widely recognized inthe field of engineering education and by US and international engineering professional andprogram accreditation organizations [1]–[3]. Since implementation of the EC2000 criteria,communication has been also been explicitly required by ABET accreditation criteria forengineering programs. Specifically, criterion 3g states that programs must demonstrate that theirgraduates develop “an ability to communicate effectively” [1]. While the ABET change in criteria push communication skills from the periphery to a centralcomponent of the engineering curriculum, the implementation of writing activities in engineeringcourses is often lacking.

should promote learning by indicating levels of proficiency orperformance levels as opposed to just scores for grades.Self-assessment and self-grading activities, when applied correctly, can support the student aspart of his or her learning process. For this reason, these activities should be viewed not asisolated practices but as part of the overall learning process [28]. Despite decades of research onthese promising techniques, self-assessment remains somewhat of a “niche market for theenthusiastic” and self-grading activities, particularly on exams, “remain unlikely due to social,political, and logistical reasons” [16]. Since opportunities remain to develop consistent andsystematic usage of these techniques, further study is needed so that

Interestingly, analogous discussions are takingplace in humanities disciplines, such as philosophy, where applied philosophy is in some circlesconsidered essential for making the discipline more relevant. Historically, arguments aboutenvironmental ethics within philosophy have narrowly focused on how best to think about“nature” in order to protect it: should it be viewed as a set of resources to be utilized for human-centered ends or does nature have some “intrinsic value” apart from how it can be utilized byhumans. But the increasingly shrill, narrow and pedantic tone of these arguments has only servedto alienate philosophers from those actually working in the field
