Abstract:This project goals are to strengthen the educational pipeline of skilled transportation leaders through developing modern training laboratories for integrated sustainability education. Next generation transportation leaders will be tasked with identification and implementation of emerging technologies while managing operational impacts on the environment. To address this demand, Marine Engine Testing and Emissions Laboratory (METEL) worked with Maine Maritime Academy (MMA) in the following three areas of workforce development efforts under the DOT UTC center: - Engineering laboratory upgrades for training the future mariner workforce - Development and implementation of an environmental minor related to transportation environmental areas - Integration of the Medium Speed Diesel lab with the marine engineering training program at Maine Maritime Academy. The outcomes of these efforts were to develop a new and enhanced laboratory training capabilities and enhance sustainability curriculum to improve student awareness of environmental concerns and evaluate new technologies for their operational and societal benefits in the transportation sector.
