applied inthis case [6].Challenge-based Ocean Engineering Project (COEP)The top-level objectives of this challenge-based ocean engineering project were two-fold: (a)respond to a report of potential UXO sighting and search a rectangular area approximately 100feet by 75 feet with depths of water up to 40 feet for the potential UXO; (b) If potential UXOwas located, then (1) provide as precise of a geo-location as possible in order to enable theExplosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) expert to respond to the exact location and (2) provide asmuch information as possible on the located object(s) to an EOD subject matter expert (SME) onshore. The goal of providing this information was to enable the SME to assess if the object waspotentially dangerous, not

May 2015. This is the firstcoastal or ocean engineering graduate program at an Historic Black College or University(HBCU). Students may choose a thesis, project or course only option. All options require anoral examination. Seven core courses, one mandatory, comprise the coastal engineeringconcentration. The student may select elective courses from among a large variety of civil andenvironmental engineering graduate courses. This flexibility enables the graduate student totailor coursework to their major civil engineering area(s) of career interest. Laboratory facilitiespotentially available to students are briefly described. The program has a coastal natural disasterfocus and was established as part of the Coastal Hazards Center of

driven by two 25.4 cm counter-rotating propellers each individually powered by a28mm 920 kV brushless motor. Using 30A electronic speed controllers (ESC) with a 12V 9Ahsealed lead acid (SLA) battery; they generate a max thrust of approximately 21.6 N which canpropel the boat up to a max speed of 3 m/s given favorable weather conditions. However forstandard operation, the boat is limited to 1 m/s to conserve power use and provide operationendurance of up to 1.5 hours.Air propulsion was chosen based on the intended environments CAUTION was designed for andexperiences from previous platforms under the AIRSPACES project. For example, a prior platformattempted to use dual motors with in-water propellers for propulsion. However, the weeds, algae,and
