Education, 2023 TUNING THE PARAMETERS: A MARITIME-TUNED MACHINE LEARNING COURSE0: AbstractIn machine learning (ML) education, the choice of which datasets to utilize for studentassignments and projects is critical for student success and meeting course learning outcomes.Poorly chosen datasets leave students disinterested and questioning the applicability of ML inreal-world situations specific to their intended endeavors post academia. Additionally, somedatasets demand much effort for preprocessing and a steep learning curve for understanding,which detracts from the ML experience and leaves students frustrated. As maritime and marineengineering programs expand to include ML in their curricula with the plan of

performance, and engagement in data science, AI, and machinelearning (ML). We asked students for feedback after they finished actual classes and/orworkshops using water quality data and machine learning exercises. The results indicate thatstudents found the experience highly enjoyable and found it applicable, reporting increasedknowledge about data science concepts and increased motivation to learn AI/ML. The results arein line with emerging research that indicates real-world data projects have the ability tosignificantly improve STEM learning. We examine how using marine environmental data androbotics in the classroom to teach technical content ignites critical thinking and real-worldproblem-solving. This paper determines the educational value of

yearwould have an integration project at the end of the year to further strengthen the integration ofknowledge learned in that year. Furthermore, course size was increased from 2-3 ECTS(European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System) to 6 ECTS for all courses or in otherwords each course would be 10% of the yearly provided credits. Finally, many projects werecreated to allow the mathematics and physics subjects of that quarter to be applied in the samequarter. The result is presented in Figure 1.When considering the current study duration, this has improved with about 65% completingtheir studies within four years, this includes the 35% of the total students that finish in threeyears (based on the TU Delft Student statistics available to programme

contribution [1] which described implementation ofSeaPerch and SeaGlide [2] into University-hosted robotics summer camps intended for middle andhigh school aged students, respectively. During the 2022 camp events, students displayedreluctance participating in tasks viewed as competitive, which created reason to reframe campactivities for a more collaborative approach. In parallel, two University alumni currently employedby Prince William County were in pursuit of opportunities to leverage maritime robotics in citizenscience to benefit endeavors of the Watershed Division. This was part of a specific effort to assessthe success of freshwater mussel reintroduction projects in local rivers and streams. Withcomplimentary goals, the University and County

emerging multidisciplinary field [3] that deserves considerable attention.To address these needs, the Student Cohort for Undergraduate Research in Marine BiosciencesAbroad (SCUBA) was created by the University of Texas System Louis Stokes Alliance forMinority Participation (UT LSAMP) in 2019 to engage non-traditional community collegestudents in coral reef research. The project benefitted from the cooperation of faculty and staff atthe University of Texas at Arlington (UTA) and at Midland College (MC) to integrateengineering, marine sciences, and education. Compared to other programs or similar initiatives[4], [5], the SCUBA program stands out for its unique approach to engaging non-traditionalcommunity college students in meaningful research

Hydrodynamics (prerequisites include differential equations and fluid mechanics),offered to students specializing in mechanical engineering in a small engineering program in thenortheast. Students were assigned to various stakeholder groups, further described below, andtasked with participating in a simulated meeting to select the next location for an offshore windfarm. The role-playing activity was designed to bring realism to engineering ethics, which canoften feel abstract or distant, by specifically selecting a scenario from the university’sgeographical region and related to the course content.BackgroundIn late 2016, the Block Island Wind Farm in Rhode Island became the first project to providecustomers with offshore wind power in the United States

Theprimary goal of this effort is to create engineers who are trained to see their non-major courses asboth meaningful and impactful for their careers while learning how to mentor others. This will beaccomplished by collaboratively developing a series of courses offered outside of theengineering
