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

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

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
