- Abstract
Abstract: The rapid development of fast, powerful, and affordable computer technology has provided educators options to introduce innovations in teaching and learning process. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of computational simulations on students' understanding of marine mooring line tension in ocean engineering course. Instructional strategies need to incorporate mathematical and computational knowledge into their practice project so that students can use its core concepts to solve interdisciplinary problems. By writing students own Matlab program, students will demonstrate the effect of mathematical and computational tools on the analysis of ocean structural dynamics. The effectiveness of instructional methods by investigating learning gains, instructional effect, and student perceptions about the course are evaluated. Through the teaching practice, students significantly increase their understanding of ocean engineering concepts.
