-Campus and Distance Learning Delivery of an Introductory Naval Architecture Course to Engineering and Engineering Technology Undergraduate StudentsAbstractThis paper describes the author’s experiences in multi-mode (face-to-face and online)delivery of an introductory-level course on the topic of Naval Architecture geared towards anaudience of engineering and engineering technology undergraduate students with no previousmaritime background. The goal of this course is to expose talented undergraduate engineeringstudents to the marine industry and to prepare those interested in pursing a career in this fieldwith an introductory understanding of the complex nature of designing and building ships andother marine vessels.

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
