Page 3

MET in the Philippines

• 95 CHED –accredited maritime colleges

• 280,000 graduates annually

• Maritime research – Few; mostly in social science disciplines (e.g.

educational research, behavioral or anthropological research, etc)

– Rarely in STEMD (science, technology, engineering, mathematics, and design) areas

• A research-engaged faculty are needed to improve quality of MET schools and graduates


Filipino Mariners

Philippines, manning capital of the

world - 28% seafarers worldwide with

368,158 seafarers in 2011 & 1.4 M

Filipinos in world maritime industry

Adv tech in the shipping industry–

METIs need to enhance the

seafarers’ skills on board for SOLAS

GIS - valuable to marine officers to

maintain smooth maritime operations

– deck/engine officers, port planners,

administrators, Ship managers,

/personnel etc

e.g. Geo Maritime & TRANSNAV

GIS-based papers demonstrate the benefits of integrated use of

satellite & GIS technologies on ships to various options of using

other electronic navigation systems

Challenges to Phil MET Schools

• 2010 STCW amendments - use of technology like ECDIS pressures Philippine METIs to update their educational content

• Fulfill (or exceed) global maritime demand for quality manpower

• Maintain or (better) increase global Filipino manpower share

• Enhance content and delivery of MET course curricula (e.g. Not just comply but exceed STCW and other standards)

• Hire faculty with advanced degrees in maritime (!)

• Hire faculty with substantial deck and engine experience in modern fully-equipped ocean-going vessels

• Continually train faculty in emerging maritime technologies (e.g. GIS, AIS, GNSS, ECDIS, Digital Chart & Mapping, etc.)

• Push faculty to engage in maritime research in STEMD (science, technology, engineering, math, and design)

• Increase participation of Philippine MET faculty and researchers in maritime conferences, here and abroad

Page 15

Introducing GIS in Phil MET

• GIS – a technology already widely applied in many maritime applications

• GIS can help develop MET schools

• GIS can enhance academic capabilities through – Teaching maritime and related courses:

• Teaching of GIS

• Teaching with GIS

– Maritime research

• GIS can streamline campus management – Physical facilities and asset management

– Campus natural-resource management

– Result: Improved efficiency and reduced cost

Page 16

So what is GIS?

• GIS is a computerized system – Used to analyze the

relationships between people, places, things, activities, and events

– Represented by several data layers that have common geographic reference on earth

– Can simulate future scenarios before seeing the actual event

Maritime Spatial Data Infrastructure (MSDI)

• Synonymous with GIS

• A composite of geospatial data, software tools, and metadata for efficient use of information.

• Assists for the planning, implementation, and assessment of spatially related content of maritime studies

• Includes spatial information about marine transportation, port facilities, maritime security, marine hazards and incidents, MET students and alumni, greenhouse gas emissions, and environmental and meteorological data


EXAMPLES OF MARITIME GST USES

Based on the 2007-2012 TRANSNAV scientific papers - 54

refereed papers, it can be surmised that the maritime industry

employs GIS technologies in areas such as:

1. GPS and GPS-enabled communication systems

2. ECDIS

3. Automatic Identification System (AIS)

4. Remote sensing imagery

MAAP MET CURRICULUM

BSMT curriculum: 155 units of Prof and Gen Ed courses

BSMarE curriculum: 158 units of Prof and Gen Ed courses

plus 40 units - one-year shipboard training

Starting 2011, MAAP is the only school in the country

authorized by CHED to offer vertically articulated maritime

graduate programs (MSMT and MSMarE)

Core courses can be enhanced with the integration of GIS

topics relevant for future deck officers, faculty, and

researchers

Page 24

Where GIS can be integrated in

MET • Course topics that include locational or spatial component

(e.g. location of events, people, and things)

• Some MET/MAAP courses where GIS can be integrated: – Information and communications technology (ICT)

– Transportation routes

– Meteorology

– Oceanography

– World geography

– Maritime pollution and prevention

– Search and rescue

– Chart and map making

• GIS as a separate course (at least 3 credit units)


ACADEMIC CAPABILITY ENHANCEMENT USING GIS

MAAP spearheaded institutional enhancement made

possible thru capability building on GIS

GIS mentor: Dr. Alejandro F Tongco, GIS Specialist from

Oklahoma State University, had served as technical adviser,

facilitator and trainer on GIS, organized by MAAP at various

venues:

Philippine Navy Education and Training Compound

(March 7-10,201)

Bataan Provincial Hall (March 13-16, 2012)

MAAP and BPSU community (March 12, 17, 21-24, 2012)

other HEIs (March 26-29, 2012)

MAAP-DRES on the other hand trained the participants on

how to write a GIS-based research project proposal



the maritime components:

people (e.g., mariners, maritime and shipping personnel,

and MET students and faculty)

places (e.g., ship destination, ports, shipping lanes,

mariner’s and student’s addresses, and MET schools

things (e.g. ships and watercraft, marine infrastructures and

installations, protected marine sanctuaries, artificial reefs)

events (e.g. transport routes/networks, hazards & incidents

including fire, shipwrecks, groundings, oil & chemical spills,

piracy)

“the real power of GIS is in analyzing the relationships of

people, places, things, and events using several spatially

referenced data layers representing the earth” (Dr. Al Tongco)



analysis and finding innovative ways, means and solutions to

the shipping industry’s global challenges (GIS in maritime

research and database management)

integration of GIS techniques in METIs (GST competency

model by the GeoTech Center (2012)

improving the teaching methodologies and curriculum content

Equip maritime graduates with GIS skills are not only honed

with spatial analytical competence, but are more at ease as

well with equipment and activities in the workplace that use

GIS ( software skills)

Provide graduates the opportunity to be analytical thinkers and

to train them to be future researchers in the wide ocean of

maritime research ( engage them in GIS –based R &D)

improve management processes to realize cost savings

takes advantage and produces valuable information about

the unique geographic locations and inter-relationships

among people, places, things, and events in the campus

development and management of a central spatial database

of all buildings and assets within the campus

allows for a fast and easy query, visualization and reporting

about the campus’ physical resources

data access for faculty, staff, researchers, and students

enhanced communication and cooperation between

departments, offices, faculty, staff, students, & administration

Applicable to all campus


IMPROVING MET CAMPUS MANAGEMENT USING GIS TECHNIQUES

workflows become more efficient and

resources are efficiently allocated

Planning, monitoring, and assessment of

campus resources are better informed

through GIS

information is more accurate as a result of

GIS analysis

GIS data can be visualized and thus

minimizes guesswork on factors involved in

campus processes

overall result is increased campus

productivity and economic efficiency.

CONCLUDING REMARKS

An introduction into how GIS can be integrated in the MET

curriculum, in research, and in campus management has

been discussed.

GIS can be introduced initially as one of the topics within

existing maritime-related courses and can be used as a tool

in field research work.

With GIS-skilled faculty and staff researchers, GIS-based

maritime researches can be developed.

A GIS-based campus management system can grow hand in

hand with that of GIS in teaching, research and extension

services, constantly nourishing and building each other’s

knowledge base toward an institution-wide integration of GIS

technologies.

What next?

• Institutionalization of GIS

• Embedding GIS in the mission of a MET

school

• Adoption of GIS in teaching, research, and

campus management
