engineeringdevelopment issues relevant to any region. Further, this work explores the efficacy of this newpedagogical approach in meeting learning outcomes related to engineering ethics by analyzingstudent reflections following their participation in the role-playing exercise. Qualitative analysisof student work demonstrates deep engagement with the material, growth in performing research,and strengthened communication skills. Lastly, suggestions for improving the ethics role-playingactivity and corresponding assignments are provided.IntroductionEstablishing and strengthening undergraduates’ appreciation for the complexities and importanceof engineering ethics is a persistent need and challenge for engineering educators. Finding waysto instill an understanding

techniques for ships and thereported potential of each technique. It clearly shows the need for alternative fuels forshipping to achieve the goals set. However, although research into the energy transition hasdominated the output since then, it is still very uncertain, which fuel or fuels will replace thedominance of fossil fuels in shipping. Already for 2022 alone 136 papers appear in a Scopussearch on “fuel AND alternative AND maritime" and this only covers one aspect of theenergy transition. As a result, the landscape of the ship designer has and continues to change.Something that should be reflected in its education as well.Similar to the energy transition, the term fourth industrial revolution was first used in apublication of the world

professional woodworkers employed inthe machine shop will lend a hand for a special piece or two if extra skill is required. Thestudents create a jig and begin assembly after all pieces have been cut. Up to this point most ofthe work is done in one large group, but once boat assembly begins the students typically pick ateam and focus on just one hull. This fosters some friendly competition in class and tends to keepthe students focused and engaged as they strive to build the “better” boat. Figures 1 and 2 showthe students early in the assembly process, stitching the panels and frames of the boats.Homework in the class is a weekly reflection on the construction process. Students areintroduced to new tools and techniques during the week and are

as well as some topics indeep learning. Using the same dataset for many assignments fosters a feeling of studentcomfortability, promotes comparing the performances of different ML algorithms, and providesa low barrier of entry after the initial assignment.Our paper is both a detailed syllabus of a first course in maritime-focused ML and a how-toguide for effective use of the mini projects we have developed. Going further, it is a solution tothe mini projects, as it reports on ML algorithms’ performances, how the choices of key tuningparameters affect said performances, and how and why algorithms perform the way they do.Included in the paper is a student reflection authored by a US Coast Guard license student inengineering to offer
