Currently, our undergraduate program is undergoingABET accreditation while our graduate specialization curriculum is certified by the NSAthrough the Committee on National Security Systems (CNSS).The focus of our four, three graduate hour, class specialization is enterprise securityassessment and evaluation. Three of the courses have published technical goals. [1] Froma technical perspective, our learning outcomes include a variety of areas including:computer security, network security, applied cryptography, and Internet security.Consequently, the learning modules that we have developed may be utilized in a numberof technical areas.

This survey contains questions about shipscomponents, ship design and physics principles like buoyancy. Student responses are aggregatedand average score is obtained on a scale of 1-10. Students are assessed using the same instrumentafter they have gone through the four simulation sessions. The difference in the score betweenthe pre and post survey provides a measure of change in the knowledge base of the students.5.

Structures was chosen as the technical topic to be paired with the designtopic. Two tours were also included in the program.
