Navy Engineering Analytics Program (NEAP): Providing Engineering Students with Navy Expertise
Abstract
The Navy Engineering Analytics Program (NEAP) will provide education and training for Iowa State University students that focus on d,eveloping analytical skills with naval applications and relevance. Our proposed approach is two-fold. The Industrial and Manufacturi,ng Systems Engineering Department will design and offer a minor in Navy Engineering Analytics, consisting of four courses in crisis,decision making and risk mitigation; design and evaluation in human-computer interaction; modeling, simulation, and forecasting with, big data; and hacking for defense. These course topics align with the Navy priorities in Augmented Warfighter and Sense and Sense-m,aking. The second thrust of NEAP will identify summer internships at Naval STEM Stakeholder Organizations and private industry that,contract with the Navy. These internships and research experiences will give student participants insight into working for the Navy,and open up new career pathways to them. NEAP will pilot an education program that can be replicated across other U.S. universities., NEAP will provide the Navy with a pipeline of engineers trained in analytical thinking and problem solving who understand the Navy,mission and how to apply their engineering and technical skills to solve naval problems. Such a workforce will enable the U.S. Navy,to meet and overcome the challenges of the 21st century.
