It was another exampleof a co-creation process in which a few faculty leaders made final decisions based onengagement with students. The resulting course, taught for the first time in spring 2019, used acombination of individual and group projects, analytical and reflective assignments, readings,and discussions to address learning objectives of critical thinking and reflection, identitydevelopment, communication [4], and pluralism (i.e., embracing many ways of knowing andbeing, inspired by [5]).

Our first objective was to findmore agile and sustainable processes to develop and continuously improve engineeringcurriculum. The second objective was to improve our pedagogical methods to make theclassroom learning experience more engaging [1]. The third objective was to develop a newlearning experience for our students that produced measurably better learning outcomes.An essential idiom that emerged from student, faculty, industry, and professional surveys was thewidespread use of agile methodologies.

Another problem occurs in evaluating theinnovation itself. How can instructors consistently rank the novelty and value of such diversestudent work? To tackle these problems, a grading scheme that involves multiple expertassessments of both the value and the impact of a student’s innovation needed to be developed.This work presents and describes the development of the Innovative Impact Scale and how it hasbeen integrated alongside Webb’s Depth of Knowledge levels as metrics to assess the innovativelearning outcomes of students enrolled in an IBL course.

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.
