1. Introduce students to marine technologies and scientific method through laboratory practices and sea practices.
2. Ensure two cruises per student, one aboard the R / V “Arquipelago” and another if possible international.
3. Make students understand that there are routines and procedures on board which must comply, including the hierarchy of the crew and the scientific component (chief cruise).
4. Teaching methodologies for the various disciplines in which students have passed the theoretical component, including Oceanography and Fisheries.
5. During the theoretical-practical classes, deepen some matters related to the analysis of data obtained in the laboratory or at sea, by teaching and practicing appropriate software (eg MATLAB, GIS, etc.)
1. Introduction to scientific data collection techniques at sea
1.1. Preparation of logistics scientific surveys
1.2. Scientific cruise design
1.3. Rules and procedures on board
1.4. Potential problems on board and ways of acting on the open sea
2. Introduction to data processing techniques in laboratory
2.1. Possible types of analyzes to be performed (most common in Oceanography and Fisheries)
2.2. Learning about processing techniques and laboratory data
3. Introduction to data processing software
3.1. Learning about specific software testing, processing and visualization of data (Excel, Matlab, R, GIS, etc.)
4. Introduction to writing scientific reports cruising
4.1. Presentation to students of rules to follow in making cruise scientific reports
4.2. Realization by the students of two scientific reports on the cruises carried out by them
The mode of transmission of the syllabus, which is basically practice, shall be made through the cruises experience, processing and analysis and interpretation of data collected by the students. Classes are taught in order to encourage students to practice this component of research by experimenting and active participation of students in all sections of discipline.
At the end the student will have to present two scientific reports, the result of this practical experimentation and theoretical and practical. The most relevant supporting documentation shall be available through the learning platform "Moodle" and Dropbox. The practical classes will be available to students in "pdf" format where summaries are also incorporated. Each lecture will be provided to student’s specific literature on the topics presented.
