, presence of a final exam (the complementary design courses did notinclude a final exam), etc. However, for at least some students, it would appear the barge projectmay have been the “petunia in the onion patch”.Positive student comments include:“I really enjoyed the barge project, the more hands on things the better.”“I think designing an icebreaker made this class particularly difficult. IACS is not nice. I reallylike the barge project. Overall, I thought it was a great course.”“Class was very difficult to follow. Text was not very good. Barge project was the best project Ihave done my whole academy career. I learned a lot from it.”“Testing the barges was the highlight of the semester. I enjoyed the hands on experience andeverything we learned in

quite positive. The own nature of methodologies used allowed their combination according to their needs. From a strictly technical point of view, an engineer from any field may be able to apply his knowledge for solving the problems which may arise during his professional career. The combination of methodologies centered on the student with prompt seminars, may ease student’s tasks afterwards at strongly technical degrees such as Marine Engineering, by giving them an accurate starting point. For these purposes, we have regarded very positively the elaboration of online audiovisual material following the Flipped Classroom concept. This learning method plays an essential part taking the theoretical contents out of the

engineering environment graduate students operate within. Asprofessionals and researchers, the students will be given problems to solve and they will beexpected to gather whatever information is needed to solve them. Therefore the problems thatare given in Distance Learning exams need to be realistic problems that are not answered byquoting some words from the textbook or plugging into a single equation from the textbook.Formulating such problems requires more work by the instructor yet serves the student greater intheir career.3.2 AOE 5314 and AOE 5994 – Naval Ship Systems Engineering and Ship Design3.2.1 Course philosophyThese two courses, taken together in the final two semesters of our Distance Learning MS, areintended as a capstone engineering
