Instructors felt the program would motivate students in a variety of ways: Figure 5 I think MCTech will motivate students... (Sorted by totally agree) Figure 5, sorted by the highest rating “totally agree” we see STEM career opportunities, followec by science study. Also, while “marine science career opps” is last for the highest rating, it does rank the highest for “agree,” possibly explained by instructors believing the topic to be of great interest but unknown to students at the time.

Shipbuilding Repair and Maritime Career Day Event in Norfolk was held at the Ted Constant Convocation Center in the month of March. About 1,000 students and 100 teachers from different schools in Hampton Roads area participate in this daylong event. Recently Maritime industry component has been added to this event. The event offered an educational and fun-filled environment for middle and high school students to learn about various career pathways and opportunities in shipbuilding, repair and maritime industries.

Figure 4 Reasons I joined the program (sorted by very important) The Figure 4, sorted by the highest response, “very important” shows the top reasons as discovering new instructional approaches, content knowledge (suggesting they seek new materials for existing courses and validating the relevance of marine engineering topic), and For the upcoming school year (2011-12), the project will bring on the participation o1 middle and high school teachers; 73 over the three regions have been recruited for the summer, 2011 workshops. These teachers will receive instruction and guidance from community college instructors from the Year 2 cohort; providing a local level mentorship model rather than an expert-delivery model of instruction and support. These teachers, in turn, will integrate Marine Career Tech topics, content, and modules into their local instructional practices. During the next year, we expect to collect impact data on middle and high school as well as continued community college knowledge integration related to the project materials.

Figure 7 Usefulness of workshop content (sorted by very useful) This was further documented as the value of the content to their coursework, in figure 7 measured by usefulness (as compared with the quality of the instructional module or workshof presentation) was validated by instructors. They felt that Value Stream Engineering was the highest, Shipyard Environment the lowest:

Figure 9 I would consider a career in the shipbuilding and repair industry Figure 8 There are lot of career opportunities in the field of ship building and repair Comments from one of the principals indicate the impact McTech project is having on local school divisions. “/ am delighted that each year John F. Kennedy Middle School is invited to participate in the Shipbuilding, Repair and Maritime Career Day. This innovative program uses hand-on activities to provide authentic opportunities for students and teachers to explore marine engineering concepts and careers. Additionally, our school has benefitted from the Marine Tech Sea Perch training. This project allowed our students the opportunity to explore underwater robotics and marine technology.
