This paper illustrates the information literacy (IL) strategy in an undergraduate Management program at U.S. Coast Guard Academy. The paper exemplifies a sequential approach that improves students’ capabilities to evaluate and apply information in a specifically designed learning environment while generating new knowledge in undergraduate business coursework. The paper also emphasizes how IL can be developed within management coursework through a six-step process, including defining, locating, selecting, organizing, presenting, and assessing.  This specially designed framework of IL learning can be applied across all relevant courses using specially designed assignments in the Management major.

The U.S. Coast Guard training barque Eagle (WIX 327), built in 1936 as the Horst Wessel by Blohm & Voss in Germany, has recently been renovated to improve her performance. As part of the renovation, the stability of large sailing vessels in general and Eagle in particular were studied. Changes in the subdivision, ballast and tankages were made to satisfy the criteria of two-compartment damage stability. Extensive renovation in the areas of machinery, structure, navigation and habitability were also made during the same period while maintaining her scheduled training cruises each year.

The U.S

In recent years there has been a great emphasis on reducing ship operating costs, especially in light of the overall decline of the marine industry. This paper discusses the impact of extensive automation of a dredge, with special emphasis on reliability, maintainability, and overall manning requirements. More extensively automated systems are studied, along with the impact of designing machinery to be operated at reduced manning levels to satisfy American Bureau of Shipping rules, and actual manning required by the U.S. Coast Guard.
