为了让学生积极主动地学习，美国海军学院海洋学系为其学生开发了一项新的非课程学分培训活动-恶劣天气内场培训。在SWIFT，10名学生和2名教员前往大平原，与业务和研究气象学家会面，主持每日天气讨论，进行每日对流预报，并通过观测强风暴来验证他们的对流预报。参与者是大二和大三的学生。SWIFT建立在其他大学开发的类似活动的基础上，特别强调评估学生的学习情况，并扩大对国防部和气象学民用职业机会的认识。SWIFT的评估结果表明，学生加深了对恶劣天气过程的理解，能够真实的实时使用观测和建模数据，将课程内容应用于现实世界的情况，成为行动者。
To engage students in active learning, the Oceanography Department at the United States Naval Academy developed a new, not-for-course-credit training activity for its students, the Severe Weather InField Training (SWIFT). In SWIFT, 10 students and 2 faculty members traveled to the Great Plains and met with operational and research meteorologists, led daily weather discussions, made daily convective forecasts, and verified their convective forecasts by observing severe storms. Participation was solicited from sophomore- and junior-level students. SWIFT built on similar activities developed by other universities with its particular emphasis on assessing student learning and broadening awareness of both Department of Defense and civilian career opportunities in meteorology. Assessment outcomes from SWIFT indicate that students deepened their understanding of severe weather processes, were equipped to use observational and modeling data in real time, applied course content to real-world situations, became act...
