2006-2364: A STEREO VISION-BASED WAVE SURFACE MEASUREMENTPROJECTJenelle Piepmeier, U.S. Naval AcademyJennifer Waters, U.S. Naval AcademyRandy Broussard, U.S. Naval Academy Page 11.124.1© American Society for Engineering Education, 2006 A Stereo Vision-Based Wave Surface Measurement Project Measuring the three-dimensional characteristics of the ocean surface has a varietyof applications. For example, surface measurements of vessel wakes could be used forimproving hull designs. In the study of ocean surfaces, accurate surface measurementscould be used for verifying ocean wave models or in lieu of such models in the study ofvarious surface properties (i.e. microwave

In the cases where the topics were heavily technicaland outside the typical undergraduate level of education, the material was adjusted to therequisite level of student understanding.The last and one of the most difficult challenges to overcome was that of creating meaningfullaboratory experiments, e.g. soil mechanics and concrete technology, on a campus without a civilengineering degree program. The pedagogy employed by the school is centered around a “learn-do-learn” philosophy and without hands-on learning, the students miss a major component totheir education.

The surveyresults revealed that while media bias and cultural stereotypes had minimal influence on femalestudent's decision to apply to MMA, role models were an important motivational factor. Also,more than 77% learned of opportunities at the Academy through their family member rather thanusual college inquiry and selection process.INTRODUCTIONFor years maritime industries as well as education and training in maritime fields remainedmostly under male domination.

high school students’ interests in pursuing science and engineering as their fields of study and careers, and to enhance the research experiences for the in-service high school teachers in science and technology areas so they can bring the knowledge and experiences back into their classrooms. Keywords: Project-based learning, K-16, Education Methods, Innovative Classroom Practice. 1. MOTIVATION Our outreach effort addresses the inadequacy of high school students in math and science literacy in the United States. According to [3], U.S. high school seniors ranked below their counterparts in 17 other countries in math and science literacy. In physics, U.S. high school seniors scored last among 16
only six students, or less than 6%, wereenrolled in the College of Engineering and Information Technology. This means that almost allof the student participants were pursuing non-engineering degrees. It is this fact that was mostintriguing and challenging from an engineering outreach perspective. In other words, how cannon-engineering students learn about the engineering implications of this disaster through theirservice experience?The 105 students were divided into five work groups of 21 students. Each group was assigned toa staff member who was responsible for supervising the daily work schedule and monitoring thestudents.
