A3. PRINCIPLES GUIDING THE DESIGN OF THE TRAINING COMPONENT OF THE CURRICULUM The key principles that guided this effort were as follows:
A.3.1. The model training aspect of the curriculum should represent a consensus from the Marine community.
A.3.2. The guideline should be designed to help MET faculty produce competent and confident entry level mariners well suited to work-place responsibilities.
A.3.3. The guideline should guide but not prescribe. Using the guidelines, faculty can design their own courses.
A.3.4. The guidelines should be based on sound functional and educational methodologies and make appropriate recommendations for consideration by MET faculty.
A.3.5. The guidelines should be flexible and adaptable to most MET programs.
