part of the resilience process. The responsestate also requires well-orchestrated logistic management. Once the event is over, a strategic andwell documented damage assessment is required. This damage assessment will help identify sourcesof new or different nature of vulnerabilities. The magnitude of the damages will help identify if thelevel of damages requires a disaster declaration by the government. Alternative recovery effortsshould be planned ahead of time and be implemented as soon as possible to minimize amplificationof damages. Recovery alternatives must focus on the objectives of reducing the level of risk andimproving the level of target vulnerability with higher resilience.

In spring 2010, all 73responding students stated that they would encourage other students to participate in HSE.The above information pertains to the HSE program as a whole. Now let us look specifically atthe TCROV team and evidence of student learning resulting from their ROV centered projects.The TCROV Team, what it is & what is learnedAs stated earlier, the plan to bring ROVs into this school was intended to bring

theapproaching vessel is identified as a threat (Huntsberger & Woodward, 2011). This software,developed by the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), originates from NASA’s Mars rovers, but hasrecently been adapted for use on small boats. Figure 1 shows an example of applying thistechnology. Figure 1: 3D trajectory planning under CARACaS - AUV (Huntsberger & Woodward, 2011). Ship design in the U.S. Navy starts with concept design, then moves to engineeringdesign, and then to production design, as shown in Figure 2. The concept phase defines the waythe ship is supposed to function. During this phase, a concept of operation (CONOPS) isdeveloped (Chalfant, 2015). In the Analysis of Alternatives (AoA) phase, ship designers definemajor equipment

apply their knowledge of ship structures andto practice design, the student design teams are tasked to design and build a barge from sheetaluminum with the goal to carry 120 pounds of weight. The weight is restricted to a 9 inch by 12inch hopper to create a more or less concentrated load. The students must carefully plan the useof their limited material just as any ship builder does, and they must also apply their knowledgeof ship hydrostatics and stability. The barges are tested in a tank of water and the studentsreceive credit for the amount of weight they are able to carry without structural failure, sinking,or capsizing. For the past two years, corresponding to their senior project to design anicebreaker, the students have also been tasked

Therefore, it is particularlyimportant to the vitality of the certificate that students achieve depth in the fundamentals toensure transferability and thus mitigate risk in students’ career planning. It is also necessary toprovide students with this comprehensive background through existing and new elective coursesusing limited faculty resources. We leverage faculty effort by designing new project-intensivecourses, that naturally support learning communities, and provide an online bulletin board tofacilitate student communication.The positive impact of learning-community

V Hulls are also being placed at the front of houseboats to make them moremaneuverable and allow them better control in rougher conditions. The latter two improvementsdrastically increase the survivability of a houseboat in rough conditions, making them a moresuitable design for someone planning on using a houseboat on the ocean.Many Houseboat communities are taking steps to help ensure the safety of their occupants.

This smaller-scale, less-intense design exercise combines elements of design crea-tivity, decision making, engineering and cost assessments, project planning, and technical (oral)communication. A habitat-like structure is to be designed by arranging a variety of hexagonalprisms - differing in weight and functional characteristics - upon a site map of hexagonal spaces.The overall goal is to design a buoyant structure that is aesthetically appealing, cost competitiveand functionally sound, with adequate anchorage. Our H-O-H (or H2O, for short) designexercise was modeled after the ‘Delta Design’ project of MIT3, with appropriate adaptations tothe marine

management is, therefore of paramount importance tomembers of a college-level ROV team. Time management is also, unfortunately, a struggle formost college students (hence the popularity of “all nighters”) so learning and practicing good Page 22.1480.4time management is one of the great benefits of ROV team participation. The first challenge isfor the students to realistically plan their work on the vehicle, this is most difficult for new teamswhere few may have hands-on building experience let alone experience with ROVs.

power levels of thelate 1950's early 1960's. During the past two decades the Corps of Engineers district offices havecontracted more and more of their planning and design studies to the private sector. This trendhas included contracting with foreign coastal and ocean engineering firms to detriment of theprivate sector US firms in this area. Sometimes design studies have been contracted to foreignlaboratories. Furthermore the European Economic Union has mandated the oil companies andother corporations drilling in the North Sea and other areas perform any laboratory studiesneeded in European laboratories. This situation leads to US firms helping support foreignlaboratories. Through the last three decades, continuous pressure on mission agency

On both short experiences this interfered on development of activities since many doubts arisen among students. In the case of the third experience, the plan of a complete subject dedicated to the use of collaborative tools was also included. In any case, despite the initial lack of awareness, one of the things most appreciated by students were precisely those collaborative tools as they eased their
