This collaborative project between Old Dominion University, the University of Louisiana at Lafayette, the Mid-Atlantic Maritime Academy, Marshall Community and Technical College and South Louisiana Community College is modernizing marine technology education in three major shipbuilding and maritime areas of the country. The project is developing instructional modules in lean six sigma, value stream engineering, green manufacturing and shipyard environmental footprint. The instructional modules utilize active learning instructional methodologies that have been documented to improve student learning. Fifteen community college faculty and sixty secondary school teachers are being trained in the use of these modules and subsequently integrating the modules into the curriculum at their respective institutions. The project has strong participation and support from major shipbuilding entities, including the Virginia Ship Repair Association and the American Society of Naval Engineers, who are providing input on the content and quality of the instructional modules. The project includes job placement activities for students interested in careers in shipbuilding. An independent evaluator is implementing formative and summative evaluation plans throughout the life of the project.

奥多明尼恩大学、路易斯安那大学拉斐特分校、中大西洋海事学院、马歇尔社区和技术学院以及南路易斯安那社区学院之间的这一合作项目正在实现该国三个主要造船和海事领域的海洋技术教育现代化。 该项目正在开发精益六西格玛、价值流工程、绿色制造和造船厂环境足迹的教学模块。 教学模块利用已记录的主动学习教学方法来改善学生的学习。 十五名社区大学教师和六十名中学教师正在接受使用这些模块的培训，并随后将这些模块纳入各自机构的课程中。 该项目得到了主要造船实体的大力参与和支持，包括弗吉尼亚修船协会和美国海军工程师协会，他们为教学模块的内容和质量提供了意见。 该项目包括为对造船职业感兴趣的学生提供就业安置活动。 独立评估员在项目的整个生命周期中实施形成性和总结性评估计划。
