circulation modeling of infrastructure installation at Rota Harbor in Northern Marianna IslandsINTRODUCTION Rota Harbor is located on the northwest coast of the Rota Island in the USCommonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI), approximately 6,100 km westof Hawaii. Rota Island is small, around 85.5 km2 above the mean sea level (MSL), 17 kmlong and 8 km wide with a highest elevation of 500 m on Mt. Manira. Rota harbor wasconstructed by the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) between 1978 and 1985. Itlies 60 km northeast of Guam and 110 km southwest of Saipan at 14o 10’ N, 145o 14’ E(Fig. 1). The study area is located on a sandy peninsula, partially surrounded by fringingcoral reef. Adjacent to Rota Harbor, the natural reef

exists. Although divers do not blindly dive into the wrecks, their methods forscoping out the site are primarily visual and tactile, and no means of easy chemical trackingexists. In the past, nautical archaeologists have unwittingly dived into waters that containeddangerous levels of lead, arsenic, and other chemical pollutants. Furthermore, artifacts are oftendelicate and require careful conservation with chemicals to reverse damage and prevent furtherdegradation, which require conservation plans for each specific artifact [1][2]. As such,technology that can track environmental data for underwater missions is needed because thereare no convenient or affordable methods to track the chemical composition of the water at thesesites available in the

casestudy. The three to four case studies change every year. Students from diverse disciplines, includingengineering, planning, economics, hydrology, biology, architecture, geography, communications, andcomputational hydraulics, interested in flood risk reduction can apply. Those accepted into the Programare placed in interdisciplinary research teams composed of 5-6 students: 1-2 PhD, 2-3 Masters, and 2-3undergraduate students. The teams are guided by project faculty mentors from both U.S. and Dutchpartner institutions. A two-week long research trip to the Netherlands provides transformativeeducation and an authentic learning environment through field trips, meetings with Dutch flood experts,lectures, and participation in design workshops.

North Carolina as prime. An additionalcatalyst was the successful MS Engineering (Coastal Engineering emphasis area) programapproved by Jackson State University in May 2014 which produced a steady, albeit small,pipeline of two graduates yearly, (about 75% underrepresented African American minority U.S.citizens) over the past six years. This MS Engineering degree, Coastal Engineering emphasisarea (emanated from another DHS cooperative agreement awarded to Jackson State University in2008) has helped build a, mostly local, potential supply of students for the PhD program.Reference [1] describes this MS Engineering program. One objective of these DHS educationfocused cooperative agreements was to enhance the inclusion of underrepresented minority

discussions pave way to a more visual and experientialphase [1] – [5]. The author has been involved in previous studies focused on making studentslearning activities more hands-on and experiential among undergraduate students [6], [7].The overall learning of these students can be made more interactive when they are challengedor tasked to solve a problem with supervised guidance. This paper focuses on pedagogicalaspect of problem-based learning and its application for greater student engagement inquantifying the long-term effects of land subsidence and rising sea levels in coastal or littoralareas.Studying the effects of sea level rise gets complicated when long-term land subsidence is alsoconsidered. Students usually get confused when tasked to

university and with industry partners.One way to achieve the desired outcome is to create an academic minor. An academic minor canbe used by the university for a number of purposes: (1) expose undergraduates to a related orgrowing field (2) gauge academic interest for development of a new academic major, (3) growthe university undergraduate student population by offering another major, (4) provide supportfor local or national industry needs, (5) provide essential experience to undergraduates inpreparation for the entry into the work environment (enhance their academic credentials or add totheir resume), and (6) provide faculty opportunities of professional development or conductresearch in an area of interest to them.At the Massachusetts Maritime

The project alsohelps educate members of the community by teaching first responders and other professionals throughinformal education through conferences, workshops, seminars, lectures and short courses in resilientcoastal infrastructure. Educators also work with partners who focus on resilience of coastal andisland communities. All the island of Puerto Rico is considered coastal environment. Over 400,000people live within 1 km of coasts and 44 municipalities with over 60% of the island population areat the coast. A tremendous amount of the critical civil infrastructure like airports, seaports
