Abstract

MEEP (Marine Education Enhancement Project) is a four-year pioneering project (2008 to 2012) supported by Ministry of Education of Taiwan for the sake of spreading and deepening the ocean-related knowledge to the public as well as students at all universities and schools. MEEP covers several sub-projects which include the academic courses for college students either with or without marine background, the career training for students interested in ocean-related industries and shipbuilding, and the teaching material editing for students from 6 to 18 years old. Among these sub-projects, the last one may be the most important because in Taiwan professional books containing ocean knowledge for younger students are quite few in the past. To this end, the author completed teaching materials entitled as “Ocean science, technology and history” suitable for students at pre-college schools in 2010. Different from textbook used in universities and colleges, it requires more delicate strategies and vivid descriptions which are usually beyond a professor’s academic ability. Experiences including how a successful editing team was established and how the structure of chapters was chosen are well discussed in this paper.
