nearshore coastal areas and tsunamiinundation.The Mission of the Coastal Engineering concentration is to “provide engineers with graduateeducation in the specialized field of coastal engineering, including knowledge, skills and abilitiesto address coastal engineering challenges arising from coastal natural disasters.” ProgramObjectives are: a. Provide students an understanding of the fundamental coastal engineering knowledge and principles necessary to address engineering challenges in a coastal environment, especially those arising from coastal natural disasters, b. Provide graduate course work and research programs in coastal engineering, and c. Enable students to achieve enhanced professional development and to appreciate the

applied inthis case [6].Challenge-based Ocean Engineering Project (COEP)The top-level objectives of this challenge-based ocean engineering project were two-fold: (a)respond to a report of potential UXO sighting and search a rectangular area approximately 100feet by 75 feet with depths of water up to 40 feet for the potential UXO; (b) If potential UXOwas located, then (1) provide as precise of a geo-location as possible in order to enable theExplosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) expert to respond to the exact location and (2) provide asmuch information as possible on the located object(s) to an EOD subject matter expert (SME) onshore. The goal of providing this information was to enable the SME to assess if the object waspotentially dangerous, not

student outcomes.BackgroundThe US Government defines “unexploded ordnance” as military munitions that: (A) have been primed, fused, armed, or otherwise prepared for action; (B) have been fired, dropped, launched, projected, or placed in such a manner as to constitute a hazard to operations, installations, personnel, or material; and (C) remain unexploded, whether by malfunction, design, or any other cause.1There are estimates of hundreds of million pounds of unexploded ordnance (UXO) sittingunderwater around the world and tens of millions in US waterways. These UXO are not goingaway and the problem is not relegated to deep ocean waters. Many of the UXO that cause the

stiffness and an introduction tofinite element analysis, as well ultimate ship strength are also investigated. Page 26.1486.9The MAESTRO ship structural analysis program is used to introduce students to the FEAmethod in a computer program tailor made for ships. SSAD is a project based course. In Project #1 (Appendix B) students are given a simple box barge to analyze the stresses in the barge’sstructural members given a specific loading scenario. Students first perform a structural analysisusing calculators and simple computer programs (EXCEL, MATHCAD, MATLAB, etc.) thatthey write. They then use the US Navy’s Program of Ship Salvage Engineering (POSSE

hydraulic engineering. Research is conducted primarily in Vicksburg, Miss., with one field location in Duck, NC. As director, Sanchez leads a team of more than 200 researchers, support staff and contractors. He is responsible for planning, directing, and coordinating a multi-million dollar research program; developing new and strate- gic research program areas in coastal and hydraulics; and managing physical facilities with a total area of 1.5 million square feet. Ongoing projects range from design guidance to three-dimensional numerical models to produce cutting-edge products for successful coastal and inland water resources management. Prior to his current position, S´anchez served as chief of Asset Management
