specificprojects of current interest to the Navy and its contractors. However, robust relationshipsdeveloped with Navy labs through program alumni and graduate research sponsorships havefostered a strong cohort of Navy mentors which provide substantial support to the student teams,who share expertise beyond that of the program faculty, and bring an important Navy perspectiveto the students’ work. Weekly design reviews are conducted with naval S&T faculty, Navyengineers and, when appropriate, student organization members, providing feedback andtechnical support to the student teams.Recent projects have included design of a ducted propeller for the student organizationcompetition boat, a semi-autonomous underwater glider, and elements of an

were at their level or below, but struggled when the identified audience had moreadvanced training. Further, more specifically identified audiences led to stronger outcomes – forexample discerning between high school students versus juniors taking a physics class.Conducting the research was another area in which students pointed to struggles, which ifovercome, led to enriched learning outcomes. On the contrary, if students confronted a challengeand were not able to surmount it, then the learning outcomes were not achieved. To maximizeoutcome attainment, the assignment would benefit from enhanced guidance and support inconducting background research – for example, by inviting a university librarian to guest lectureon best practices in using

However, it is oftendifficult to provide useful, hands-on practical, modern and attractive experience for our students.One way to increase the student exposure to recent advances in technology, computing, IT,microelectronics, etc. is to research projects. Engineering and technology senior or capstonedesign courses fill a critically important role in the curriculum, forming a bridge between schooland the workplace and have been extensively researched. These courses bring to the forefront manyof the ABET outcomes such as lifelong learning, design, teamwork, and contemporary issues.The senior

Coasts. In fact, from the Florida Panhandle to theLouisiana-Texas boarder, there are no graduate programs in coastal engineering on the centralGulf Coast. The inadequate coastal engineering research and education in the Gulf Coast regionare reflected in the failures of civil engineering infrastructure and buildings seen in the HurricaneKatrina’s aftermath. We use the collapse of coastal bridges during Hurricane Katrina as anexample to demonstrate the need for and importance of coastal engineering research andeducation in hurricane-prone areas. An examination of the engineering practice in thetransportation engineering community has indicated transportation engineers often rely oncoastal engineers to assist their design and construction of

Whilethe freshmen may demonstrate an interest in the minor and may be targeted for future marketingefforts, they are not eligible to begin the MC minor. Likewise, the seniors are too close tograduation to begin the minor. Therefore, only the second and third year students (sophomoresand juniors) are candidates for the program. As stated previously, the best time for a student toenroll in the MC minor is sophomore year. Of the current junior class (graduating in year 2020),there are 60 engineering students who have a GPA above 2.5, making them eligible to enroll inan academic minor. Of those 60, 22 have

The Sea Perch project was introduced to severallocal high schools in the Boston area, generating immediate interest. MIT sought and receivedfunding from the Sea Grant Program and the Office of Naval Research to expand the program,and one by one, schools became involved with the project.As the Sea Perch project continued through word of mouth, and as more teachers becameinvolved, a more developed curriculum was required.

to pull their barges across/through a piece of ¼inch foam to simulate icebreaking. Through the barge project the students get direct feedback onthe quality of their naval architecture and structural design work and experience the importanceof workmanship in metal fabrication. There is some positive student feedback regarding thebarge project in the student course evaluations. Objective course assessment tools do not show adefinitive impact for the barge project, but it is felt it is a positive contribution to the course.IntroductionThe course sequence for Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering under graduate majors atthe U.
