]. Routineexperts, even though are technically proficient in their established domains of knowledge and Page 26.1418.2application, can fail to adapt their expertise in a new context for a novel problem. However,adaptive experts tend to seek out challenges, review multiple solutions and perspectives for newproblems and view their knowledge base as dynamic [1]. This paper explores if student exposedto a challenge-based ocean engineering project is likely to develop AE within the project period(of two-semesters in this case). The model proposed by Schwartz et al. that there are twoessential and complementary dimensions of AE, namely knowledge and innovation is

Inside out ship approach starts with selectingequipment and sub-systems and then focuses on warping out the structure and the hull around thechosen sub-systems (Chalfant, 2015). The Office of Naval Research’s funded project designed the smart ship system design(S3D) concept for early stage design, simulation, and analysis (Chalfant, 2015). This methoddefines the template for mechatronic subsystems, such as mechanical, electrical, piping andHVAC (cooling HVAC system is shown in Figure 3). The main purpose of this system is

thefoundation of the study. If you lose sight of the goal, which is ultimately to learn, you will neverachieve it. Klein adds that “a fuller understanding of historical context, definition, and patternsof practice is required”2 before being able to develop a curriculum or even a project based inmore than one discipline.Benefits of an Inter-Disciplinary EducationSeveral factors inherent to an interdisciplinary classroom model, such as group work, heightenedrigor challenging students, and making connections between disciplines, support educationalgrowth. All of these factors contribute to the effectiveness of interdisciplinary education.Additionally, a group dynamic is crucial. Davis notes that not only do students learn more whenthey are working in a
