B.13.1. The Marine Engineering curriculum should be responsive to the needs of the department's trainees. Course and program offerings should provide suitable academic challenge and should be based on the expectation that all students can be trained equality.
B.13.2. Departments must be provided with the resources necessary to deliver high quality teaching that includes the opportunity for students to interact frequently and nontrivially with their instructors.
B.13.3. The instructional staff assigned to each course should be sufficient to allow for regular and frequent feedback to trainees about their progress. Feedback from instructors should take various forms, such as critical reviews of short quizzes and hour tests, comments and suggestions for homework or writing assignments, and critiques of trainees presentations of projects and contributions in seminars. Interaction in classes, laboratories, and workshops provides additional feedback. Instructors should consider all of these forms of evaluation not just as evaluation of the trainees but also as information that can be used to improve their training and Instructors can gain information for improving their teaching also from trainees journals and mid-semester questionnaires.
B.13.4. Courses which are required in a trainees program of study but have a history of low enrollment should be scheduled and taught at least once every two years regardless of the low enrollment.
