, resistance, and maneuvering.Having a student organization that is closely aligned with the curriculum provides opportunitiesfor students to become involved in naval science & technology who may not otherwise have theopportunity due to course prerequisites or competing degree objectives. We are also exploringits use as a somewhat formal pedagogical tool since the student organization can supportcurricular learning by providing realistic and challenging applications in which students canfurther develop their curricular knowledge and skill. Similarly, courses can implementassignments and projects that emulate RoboBoat challenges to foster the development of criticaltechnical skills within the student organization.The certificate consists of 18

She has funded research in broadening participation efforts of underrepresented students in STEM funded by U.S. Department of Education, focusing on com- puter science and cybersecurity pathways, and from Office of Naval Research, focusing on mechatronic pathways. She is part of the ONR projects related to the additive manufacturing training of active mili- tary. She is also part of the research team that has multiple projects funded from NSF focusing on veteran pathways and their success in engineering. She leads the team that delivers the summer program to nine graders that focus on broadening participation

discussed in the Assessment Methods section of this paper.For all of the projects in the sequence, there is a heavy component of background research andcoordination that must be performed before designs are finalized at the end of the Fall semesterfollowed by prototyping and testing in the Spring semester. The complex nature of the maritimeenvironment means that beyond the typical research into existing solutions, the students must doadditional research to find out the constraints for their projects. For example, the waterfrontcleaning robot in 2018-2019 needed to filter out garbage of the correct size based on whatcommon garbage is found in the water. At the same time, it needed to be powerful enough tomove the filtration system to overcome local

,Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) classrooms, but with varying degrees of success[1]. Prior research has demonstrated that a wide range of students with varying abilities and skill levelscan benefit from the flipped classroom format, but the benefits are not uniformly distributed among thegeneral STEM student population. For example, studies [2, 3] have suggested that medical studentsrespond most favorably—reporting heightened enjoyment, decreased boredom and a large gain inknowledge and skills—because the students naturally enjoy collaborative and project-based learning inhands-on environments. In maritime engineering, these same qualities are shared by students who seekU.S. Coast Guard Licensure (“license students”), qualities which

approaches to a broader audience.Dr. Edwin van Hassel, University of Antwerp Edwin van Hassel is an assistant professor at the Faculty of Transport and Regional economics, Antwerp University where he is also teaching three courses. He has an engineering degree in naval architecture and he has a PhD in applied economics. His main research interest and expertise is in inland navigation, port hinterland transport, ship design and transport modelling. He holds a PhD with a topic in the field of inland waterway transport. More recently the scope of his work has been extended to maritime cost chain modelling. He also is involved in several research ranging from logistics projects to infrastructure cost benefit analysis and
