By preparing these presentations, students learn how to collect data,interview stakeholders, lead/participate in brain-storming discussions, and adjust/improve theirresearch products. Students also learn how to interact with people from different disciplines and look atthe issues from diverse perspectives. 1This article describes the design process of the Program, from initial development throughimplementation.

This research included Navy (several laboratories and ONR), NOAA,Coast Guard, National Park Service, National Science Foundation, and U.S. Geological Survey.These efforts proliferated and considerable funding was funneled to coastal/ocean/marineengineering related research. However, in the late sixties and early seventies time frame, theVietnam War began to impact federal research resources. Then the Arab Oil Embargo led tosome very high inflation years and federal agencies research budgets came under seriouspressure. Research budgets did not keep pace with inflation and tended to be constant. This wasespecially true

In the conclusion there are suggestions for future advancement of thecoastal engineering profession.History and motivationThe Coastal Engineering Research Board (CERB)*, originally called the Beach Erosion Board,has guided basic and applied coastal engineering research and development activities in theCorps since the 1930s. Coastal engineering education has been a topic of concern at CERBmeetings, leading to formation of the first coastal engineering education initiatives
