Development of Leadership Skills

The United States Coast Guard Academy (USCGA) has been educating future leaders for the U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) since 1876. The USCGA, located in New London, Connecticut, is the smallest of the United States federal military academies with a mission to “educate, train and develop leaders of character who are ethically, intellectually, and professionally ready to serve their country and humanity.” An academy-wide culture of leadership is required to facilitate learning across academic disciplines, military training, and athletic training. This section presents an example of leadership development where students (cadets) are trained over 4 years (200-week journey) to become leaders through a formal leadership education that is incorporated into nine academic disciplines: Civil Engineering, Cyber Systems, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering, Government, Management, Operations Research and Computer Analysis, and Marine and Environmental Science. The unique trait of the leadership development at the USCGA is based on the development in four global stages: leading self, leading others, leading performance and change, and leading the Coast Guard. Leadership development is accomplished by exposing cadets to models of leadership via curriculum and integrating theory with practice through extracurricular and service-learning experiences to fuse academics, military training, and the athletic programs. During the 4 years, academic, military and athletic programs work together to prepare, guide, mentor, and monitor students’ development and implementation of moral, ethical, leadership, and other professional skills expected of new graduates.

The main efforts in the field of marine engineering are currently aimed at increasing the energy efficiency of the production, transmission, and use of energy, which is possible only if innovations are based on fundamental science achievements, together with the creation and implementation of new, more reliable and durable materials, equipment and technologies. Fuel cells are one of the promising directions for solving problems of providing electric energy to consumers in various complex conditions (Sun et al. 2010; Díaz-de-Baldasano et al. 2014; Han et al. 2015; Chen et al. 2017, 2018).
