undergraduates interested in studying naval and marine engineering, norhave those industries actively recruited bachelors degree graduates. 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
participation on student success in

easy to access environments12-18. The critical long-term solutions should be independentof the limited stored energy available during the functioning or operating of such devices and systems.This project was designed and implemented by a team of four senior from pour electrical engineeringprogram, it involves finding the best design solution, system testing, optimization and finally theimplementation of the system. Two students in the team have strong mechanical background, while oneof the team members is a full time power engineer and part-time student. Our two-semester senior designcourse focuses on planning, development, and implementation of an engineering project, which includestwo formal reports, project documentation, two oral
