The Effects of Marine Simulators on TrainingIJERA Editor
Simulators have increased its usefulness in marine training over the years. Literature cites its many advantages which should ultimately lead to the increase in sea safety. However, more remarked than the discomfort felt by the trainee due to the lack of human interaction, simulation-training was noted to be costly and does not provide a clear indication of its value in organizations as no information supports this. A comparison of other technology which could be used for training is shown to provide an insight to the probable technology-based alternatives for simulators. In the search for the effects of marine-simulators on training, a few literature indicated its effects. Studies indeed specify favorable effects of simulators to training. However, no definite or quantifiable explanations were shown to relate training to its ultimate purpose of improving sea safety. Studies reviewed explored the effects of training to teamwork and the effects of training on the cognitive abilities of trainees. The Lewin study on the effects of CRM training indicated positive outcomes but was unclear about the link of training effectiveness with safety. The perception study revealed significant results in the perceived change of attitude, knowledge, and skills. The other study was on determining the physiological response related to cognitive activities which revealed that a rise in frequency values was observed during problemsolving in navigational situations. Simulator systems in training institutions were examined to provide a glimpse of how training may be made more effective

Computer simulation is a computer model that simulates a system. It is useful for modeling natural and human systems. Computer simulators provide hands-on learning experiences and allow students to explore phenomena normally inaccessible. They help develop 21st century skills and enhance student performance by accommodating different learning styles. Computer simulation began in the 1960s and has since been adopted in education. Teachers and students are key adopters and change agents. It has reached critical mass in society.
This document discusses the analysis of using virtual simulation models and real learning systems in mechatronics education. It describes a module combining virtual and real systems to teach mechatronics. Students are first introduced to a real pneumatic distribution station to observe its functions. They then use a 3D simulation software to model the system, allowing individual practice. A survey found that combining real and virtual systems improves learning by increasing motivation, reducing time, and enabling system modeling. However, interaction with real industrial systems is still needed to develop professional skills.

Present generation of learners, growing up in a digital age, expect a fully IT-infused curriculum as a minimum. So, the majority of non-digital-age maritime instructors have to strive hard to keep pace with these new-age students’ expectations. In this paper, we will share our experience at the Wavelink Maritime Institute (WMI), where we are busy in developing and delivering a 3-year pre-sea training programme for marine engineers. Integrating technology in curriculum led to seamless accessibility, reduction of drudgery of calculations in engineering problems, increase in conceptual understandings. This also enables trials of various what-if scenarios and simulations of more authentic engineering cases, which were sometimes arranged as team assignments to add teamwork and cooperation in learning. Starting with the description of the steps taken to develop a knowledge-based infrastructure for learning, the paper will share some specific applications of technology usage in many of the course subjects and also include our student feed back, which reflects some degree of success of our efforts.

Application of machine learning in chemical engineering: outlook and perspect...IAESIJAI
Chemical engineers' formulation, development, and stance processes all heavily rely on models. The physical and economic consequences of these decisions can have disastrous effects. Attempts to employ a hybrid form of artificial intelligence for modeling in various disciplines. However, they fell short of expectations. Due to a rise in the amount of data and computational resources during the previous five years. A lot of recent work has gone into developing new data sources, indexes, chemical interface designs, and machine learning algorithms in an effort to facilitate the adoption of these techniques in the research community. However, there are some important downsides to machine learning gains. The most promising uses for machine learning are in time-critical tasks like real-time optimization and planning that require extreme precision and can build on models that can self-learn to recognize patterns, draw conclusions from data, and become more intelligent over time. Due to their limited exposure to computer science and data analysis, the majority of chemical engineers are potentially vulnerable to the development of artificial intelligence. But in the not-too-distant future, chemical engineers' modeling toolbox will include a reliable machine learning component.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

Abstract
Engineering system design, operation and maintenance has been handled for a long time through
mathematical and real time models. The advent of computers, multimedia age and improvement in
visualization has further proved the reality of fact that picture speaks more than words; also research in
education and training has proven that visualization has great effect in improving learning. The complexity of
real world situation of engineering education has obvious limitation of instructional presentation and
training. Simulation gives result from theoretical representation of complex phenomena when hardware for
the task is lacking, or in situations when enough time is not available for explanation. This paper will discuss,
opportunities brought about by simulator as a tool in the training and certification of Malaysian Maritime
Academy cadets training program. The usefulness of simulators in continuous education program to amplify
and enhance competency based education and instructional training to meet goals of safety, cleaner ocean
and protection of marine environment will be highlighted.. The paper will also present the potential of
simulators as training tool in other field of knowledge for enhanced outcome and competency based
education.
Keywords: Simulation; Engineering; competency, complexity, enhancement; safety; education; training
1.0 Introduction
The world of man and the quest for knowledge to facilitate human activities including developing things that
surround us has gone through various phases of development. The early man, used memorization as a tool, and
wrote information on leaves, trees and mountains to store knowledge which was to be passed to the next
generation. The main tools for everything related to learning has likewise gone through various phases of
change and the most significant of these changes has been the emergence of ICT in the last one decade. Today,
the developments in ICT have greatly accelerated the pace of knowledge delivery and the Simulation-Based
studies and training is one typical example of such an evolution. Simulation refers to the application of
computational models for the study and prediction of physical events or the behavior of engineered systems.
The development of computer simulation has drawn resources from a deep pool of scientific, mathematical,
computational, engineering knowledge and methodologies. from the depth of its intellectual development and
wide range of applications, computer simulation has emerged as a powerful tool, one that promises to
revolutionize the way research in engineering and science are conducted in the twenty-first century.
Simulation has long been identifies in several areas of knowledge and it is playing a remarkable role in
promoting developments vital to the health, security, and technological competitiveness of the nation.
Engineering and scientific communities have become increasingly aware that computer simulation is an
indispensable tool for resolving a multitude of technological problems. Basically, computer simulation
represents an extension of theoretical science in that it is based on mathematical models. Such models attempt
to characterize the physical predictions or consequences of scientific theories. With simulation engineers are
better able to predict and optimize systems affecting almost all aspects of our lives and work, including our
environment, our security and safety, and the products we use and export. The use of computer simulations in
engineering science began over half a century ago, but only in the past decade or so has simulation theory and
technology made a dramatic impact across the whole engineering fields. That remarkable change has come
about mainly because of developments in the computational and computer sciences and the rapid advances in
computing equipment and systems.

However the use and the corresponding training program has been developed on ad hoc basis of individual
training center working with many shipping companies where simulation is often inserted into existing
program rather incorporating simulation as part of the objectives. Neither has there been any standardization
for simulation. The fact is that simulation itself does not train but its benefit to training comes from the way it
is used, it become imperative to make part of training aim and objective that comes with education
requirement. STCW was built on conventional approach that focus on knowledge to determine competency
with oblivion to job task and performance in training that arise from reality of mismatch between training
course and corresponding needs. The ability of simulation fidelity, producing real life task in a safe
environment and provide mitigation option to this where simulation come in as fundamental tool to bridge
gap between theory and application.
3. Marine simulation curriculum and training process
In maritime industry, IMO classified simulation under STCW amendment into the following groups:
Category 1 - Full mission capable of simulating full visual navigation including maneuvering.
Category 2 -Multitask - full mission capable of simulating full visual navigation excluding maneuvering ie
radar simulator.
Category 3 -Limited task- capable of simulating environmental for limited extreme conditions.
Category 4 - Special task- capable of simulating maneuvering with operator outside the environment.
Simulation in STCW code is made of two parts, where:
Part A is mandatory and includes the minimum standards of competency for seagoing personnel,
simulator used in both training and assessment. And the requirement for ARPA (Automatic Radar Plotting
Aid - thus simulator equipment being used prior February 1, 2002 may be exempted at the discretion of
parties involved).
Part B deal with guidance to those involved in education, training or assessing the competence under
STCW provision concerning application of various safety and environmental regulation and conformity.
Maritime training is divided into two groups:
i. License – This include experience trainee that undergo additional training designed toward improving
their existing skill, performance and awareness. Such training includes: Watch keeping, ARPA,
Control, Ship resources management, Ship team management, Emergency procedure, Ship handling,
Vessel traffic management, Search and rescue, Area familiarization
ii. Unlicensed- this involved cadets working towards first certificate of competency under standard
structure program. Simulation application for this training includes: Watch keeping, knowledge of
international regulation, Communication, Radar, electronic navigation, main and auxiliary
machineries.
Most of these courses are not actually mandatory, how good it will have been if they shipping company could
incorporate them in their program. Thus recent amendment of STCW recommendation for use of simulation is
a significant stepping stone in this direction. The training should be designed by considering the following:

5.1 Educational strategies of the future for Engineers and Scientists
Our time has seen significant dramatic expansion of the knowledge base required to advance modern
simulation. The expansion ignores the traditional boundaries between academic disciplines, which have long
been compartmentalized in the rigid organizational structures of today‘s universities. The old silo structure of
educational institutions has become an antiquated liability. It discourages innovation, limits the critically
important exchange of knowledge between core disciplines, and discourages the interdisciplinary research,
study, and interaction critical to advances in simulation.
Today‘s demands nonetheless call for:
i. Citadel of learning to change their organizational structures to promote and reward collaborative
research that invigorates and advances multidisciplinary science. It has also become a matter of need
for universities to implement new multidisciplinary programs and organizations that provide rigorous,
multifaceted education for the growing ranks of simulation trainers and researchers.
ii. Simulation need to be incorporated in our educational discipline as a engineering tool and proponent
life-long learning opportunity
iii. Simulation requires a broad range of interdisciplinary knowledge that tomorrow‘s engineers and
scientists with substantial depth of knowledge in computational and applied mathematics, as well as in
their specific engineering or scientific disciplines. Participation in multidisciplinary research teams
and industrial internships will give students the broad scientific and technical perspective, as well as
the communication skills that are necessary for the effective development and deployment of
simulation education.
iv. Integrating simulation into the educational system will broaden the curriculum for undergraduate
students. Undergraduates, moreover, will have access to educational materials that demonstrate
theories and practices that complement the traditional experimental and theoretical approaches to
knowledge acquisition.
v. Simulation will also provide a rich new environment for undergraduate research, in which students
from engineering and science can work together on interdisciplinary teams.

v. Methods for rapidly generating models of complex geometries and material properties.
vi. Multiscale methods will provide extensive benefits.
The following are a few of the areas requiring development:
i. • Quantitative models of the processes to be simulated must be developed. For many of those
processes, models of some level of fidelity already exist, or they are being developed for narrower
engineering purposes.
ii. • A comprehensive simulation system is required that integrates detailed models of a wide range of
scales. The comprehensiveness of the simulation system is a requirement if simulation in education
applications is to simulate multiscale complex systems. Some of the issues are generic, but others are
problem specific.
iii. • New models of exceptional fidelity are required. The development and validation of such models
entail the acquisition of data of extraordinary detail.
iv. • A better understanding of the role of uncertainty is required. Some degree of uncertainty is
inevitable in the ability of a model to reflect reality and in the data the model uses. We need to find
ways to interpret uncertainty and to characterize its effects on assessments of the probable outcomes.
Generally, however, we still lack a fundamental understanding of what constitutes an optimal design and how
to find it in a complex multi-criteria design environment. Once optimization methods are developed that can
deal with these complexities, we can expect to see chemical plants, automobiles, laptop. Simulation has the
potential to deliver, within a short design period, designs that are optimized for cost performance and total
impact on the environment.The rewards of meeting those challenges are great: enhanced efficiency, security,
safety, and convenience of life in the digital, infrastructure, city and ecosystem, a social infrastructure of
unparalleled efficiency, rational responses to natural events and optimal interactions with natural
environments.
6. Conclusion
The need for Simulation based education is at a crossroads in our global technological development. For
almost half a century, developments in mathematical modeling, computational algorithms, and the technology
of data intensive computing have led to remarkable improvements in the health, security, productivity, quality
of life, and competitiveness of nations. We have now arrived at an historic moment where simulation is the
key elements for achieving progress in engineering and science. The challenges of making progress, however,
are as substantial as the benefits. We must, for example, find methods for linking phenomena in systems that
span large ranges of time and spatial scales. We must be able to describe macroscopic events in terms of
subscale behaviors. We need better optimization procedures for simulating complex systems, procedures that
can account for uncertainties. We need to build frameworks for validation, verification, and uncertainty
quantification.
In today‘s competitive world, in order to b at the frontier of knowledge it has become important to explore the
possibility of incorporating in our engineering educational system to reflect the multidisciplinary nature of
modern engineering and to help students acquire the necessary modeling and simulation skills. Thus
simulation required good computer speed, funding and efficiency. However, this barrier can be solved by
promoting interaction between multiple disciplines that fit naturally and strategically in parallel with or within
the Cyber infrastructure framework. Simulation definitely has the potential to deliver designs that are
optimized for cost performance and their total impact on the environment (from production to disposal or
recycling), all within a short design cycle. This achievement is not possible, however, simply by extending
current research methods and taking small, incremental steps in simulation based education development. The
barriers to the realization of simulation in education relate to our entire way of conducting research
development and educating engineers. Other field of engineering can surely use experience of the shipping
industry as a guide to incorporate simulation in education work.
