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.

depending on the dissertation research focus. Tabulardata and graphics depict core course enrollments, number of times they were taught andgraduates during the last six academic years. Students may choose the remaining electivecourses from the other four coastal engineering core courses and a large variety of civil andenvironmental engineering courses or other closely related courses (i.e. mathematics, computerscience, urban planning, etc.), all requiring approval of their advisor. Laboratory experimentalfacilities and computational facilities potentially available to students for dissertation researchare briefly described. Sources for a supply of PhD coastal engineering students are discussed.Professors in all areas of coastal engineering are

hydraulic engineering. Research is conducted primarily in Vicksburg, Miss., with one field location in Duck, NC. As director, Sanchez leads a team of more than 200 researchers, support staff and contractors. He is responsible for planning, directing, and coordinating a multi-million dollar research program; developing new and strate- gic research program areas in coastal and hydraulics; and managing physical facilities with a total area of 1.5 million square feet. Ongoing projects range from design guidance to three-dimensional numerical models to produce cutting-edge products for successful coastal and inland water resources management. Prior to his current position, S´anchez served as chief of Asset Management

beginning in 2006 (over 80 to date). One student completedall requirements for the Coastal Engineering concentration and graduated in December 2013 inthe course only option. Three students graduated in May 2015 in the Coastal Engineeringconcentration (two in the course only option and one with the Project option). All these studentshave permanent engineering positions in the local commuting area. All four are currently EIT’sin the state of Mississippi and plan to take the PE exam this calendar year. Students working inengineering firms (or for the government) appear to be well served by the course only optionsince they work on projects in their day to day jobs and most prefer knowledge gained fromadditional graduate coursework to research

introduce our students to our instructional design module: the H-O-H DesignChallenge. 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

pH of the water. The data should be recordedapproximately every second and should have accuracy of ± 0.9° F (0.5º C), ±1.7*10-6 lb/gal (0.2mg/L), and ±0.2 pH units, respectively. These values correspond to the specifications of theequipment currently used by the scientists.To control the vessel, the Raspberry Pi is designed to use two modes, control via MOOS-IvP andcontrol via a standard ground control station (GCS) such as Qgroundcontrol from Dronecode ona companion computer or smartphone. The GCS option allows unskilled users to plan andexecute missions while the MOOS-IvP option allows complex intelligence tasks to beperformed.ImplementationFor propulsion, the AG-0 utilizes a 1.375” (3.5 mm) propeller, a 4300 KV motor, and a 60 Aelectric

,locating, and collecting information on objects that are potentially unexploded ordnance(UXO).” The students had two semesters and a budget of $15,000 to go from this statement to afield demonstration of their solution in Key West, FL.This project’s multi-disciplinary nature, broadly defined real world problem, engaged andthoughtful sponsor, and unique advising requirement produced student outcomes that covermost if not all of the ABET student outcomes criteria. This paper will cover the project fromconcept to final successful demonstration including; team forming, academic advising, missionplanning, project planning, research, development, fabrication, sensor development, sensorintegration, testing, demonstration, reporting, assessment and
