GMIT Multidisciplinary Survey Planning cruise in Galway Bay. The objectives of the current survey are: To implement a Peer Assisted Learning model in a shipboard training environment. Through planning and execution of a multidisciplinary research cruises, facilitated by academic staff and postgraduates from GMIT, students will experience a high level learning environment in a shipboard setting. Students will be facilitated in the formulation of cruise plans which will be evaluated by their peers and staff in GMIT. In conjunction with input from RvOps and P&O maritime the cruise will then be delivered in the form of a training cruise over 8 days to the entire group of students. The proposed survey has the potential to further enhance co-operation between undergraduate and postgraduate students in GMIT. Provide undergraduates students with a novel Peer Assisted Learning experience and provide the trainers with experience and ability to conduct shipboard operations which will be of significant benefit to them in applying for or participating in future shiptime calls.
