5 December 2012 - DEGREES FOR BOAT BUILDING 

Roger Williams University & IYRS partner on program to offer IYRS graduates credits toward degree programs. 

As part of a strategy to offer students a direct pathway from experiential training programs focused on craftsmanship and technical skills to a comprehensive college education that results in an associate or bachelor’s degree, Roger Williams University and marine trades and technology school IYRS have joined forces on a partnership that will allow IYRS graduates to apply elective credits toward degree programs offered at the University’s School of Continuing Studies. 

“Many of our younger students, passionate about working with their hands and building things, also want a two- or four-year degree that enriches their lives and offers broad opportunities,” says IYRS President Terry Nathan. “Partnering with Roger Williams achieves this goal. RWU is a great school with a beautiful campus. Importantly, we share common values and educational principles.” 

Students are increasingly looking for graduate jobs "much earlier" in their university careers, with those at university in the South East most likely to begin applying before their final year, a new survey has found. A survey carried out by graduate-jobs.com found that more than one-in-five students at British universities now look for graduate jobs before their final year of university, in stark contrast with just one-in-20 in 2002.

Students at Sussex University were named most likely to begin searching for a graduate job before their final year of university, whilst Welsh and Scottish students are the least prepared, the survey found. Overall, students at universities in the South East were the best prepared for entering the job market, with nearly three-in-10 students beginning their job hunt well before graduation. Other universities which performed strongly include Leicester and Lancaster, which also appeared in last year's 'Top 10 universities for getting a job' ranking.

Scottish and Welsh students were the least likely to be proactive in looking for a job while at university, with only 13 per cent at these universities reporting that they did so before their final years. 

Through the agreement, the University will award 15 credits to students who have completed the Marine Systems or Composite Technology programs at IYRS and matriculate in the bachelor of general studies, associate in arts or associate in science programs at Roger Williams. IYRS students who complete the two-year Boatbuilding & Restoration program will be granted 30 credits toward the bachelor of general studies or associate programs at RWU. 

The credits will be applied toward elective requirements in both the bachelor’s and associate programs. Students who enroll in the bachelor of general studies program will be encouraged to pursue the Technology Leadership and Management concentration. In order to apply the IYRS credits, students must apply and be accepted to the University; the application fee will be waived for IYRS graduates.

The Solar Navigator is a SWASH (Small Waterplane Area Stabilized Single Hull) designed to be capable of an autonomous world navigation, now the subject of a buyout for potential movie production. Civil and military craft derived from this unique concept are now being developed by Bluebird Marine Systems Ltd., in the United Kingdom - to include robotic fleets for peacekeeping and ocean exploration as has never need done before.
