While working on the academy vessels I expect you act in a serious, safe, and professional manner. Life jackets are accessible aboard all vessels. Likewise, in the simulator I expect the same. As a reminder, no food or drink in the ship simulation center. In addition to scheduled class room and lab times you will be required to complete a number of specific simulated scenarios.
Scenarios require about one hour to complete.
In general you will complete a number of basic and advanced ship maneuvers aboard the container vessel Venture. The simulator will be staffed and available for use commencing in late September, I will post a schedule prior to that time. You will be paired up with another person to conduct the shiphandling simulations. Inform me of your preference of partner by the end of September. The report should be 1500 - 2000 words, following standard MLA guidelines.
