investmentand is hypothesized to contribute significantly to national economic security and nationaldefense. We would like for this paper to stimulate a national dialogue leading to a dynamicrevival of Coastal, Ocean and Marine Engineering research and graduate education in the UnitedStates.Background A compelling argument can be made that the coastal engineering profession was bornwith legislation by the U.S. Congress that established the Beach Erosion Board and subsequentlythe Coastal Engineering Research Board for the purpose of advising the Chief of Engineers onthe direction that coastal engineering research should take to enable the nation to solve pressingbeach erosion challenges. For over 30 years from the 1930's, to the 1960's, the Beach

students to pursue careers in naval science & technology (Kiss, 2011; Lundquist,2014). Because there are relatively few institutions in the United States that offer comprehensivenaval architecture programs, there is an opportunity for smaller programs to help meet the needby developing quality curricula on Navy-related S&T subjects, and to make students aware ofpotential careers in this area.The program discussed in this paper has been developed at the University of Iowa, whichprovides unique challenges for attracting students with interest in naval science & technology. Itis therefore important to cultivate that interest through exposure to relevant curricular topics andengineering challenges. In addition, due to the limited faculty

The annual average wind speed these areas are ranging from 4m/s to 6.0 m/s, asshown in in Figure 3a. This is a good wind regime, with a potential of providing power to the WSN mostof the year.
