Yet, the detailed analysis shows that the students think that they already possess ‘good’ CoU knowledge prior to the workshop, although 24% of them heard it for the first time. Furthermore, at the same time they mentioned that due to the workshop their CoU knowledge was increased up to a ‘very good’ level. Therefore it shows that students assume that they already have a good knowledge on CoU and after the workshop, the feel that they now have almost all the necessary knowledge on CoU. This misunderstanding may
be due to their
perspective on HF & HCD as common sense [29] Thus it may be necessary to arrange other sessions with the same students group to show them the depth of CoU and the advantages that seafarers may gain through designers’ CoU knowledge and vice versa. Furthermore the answers given for the two rating scale questions may have affected due to lack of verbal
anchors and their
descriptions within the questionnaire. Therefore it is it is necessary to update these two questions within future questionnaires
Most students appreciated the effort taken by the
research team to bring seafarers to the workshop for them to receive valuable feedback. Also they identified the importance of having discussions with end users during the design stage. In our view, this shows the importance of arranging such meetings with end users to receive feedback for their design projects and improve their understanding on CoU.
6. CONCLUSIONS
Based on the workshop findings, it is suggested that the following conclusions can be drawn:
When the design agenda is to increase the usability of maritime products and artefacts, it is important to motivate and inform maritime design engineering students on the concept of usability, as well as on HCD concepts, to minimize potential HF issues in their future designs;
As a supplement to the technical education, it is seen as highly desirable, or perhaps even necessary, for the maritime design engineering educational system to include courses which develops the understanding of the maritime CoU;
A mainstay of maritime CoU courses should be focused conversations with and about the end users, their goals, their tasks and the operational environment
of the maritime products that maritime design engineers are going to design;
It is believed that a short-term sea going experience for maritime design engineering students, aimed at further increasing the understanding of the maritime CoU, would be both a highly effective and desirable supplement to courses in maritime CoU;
Finally, other researchers are invited to extend the findings of the present research work by undertaking
similar workshops, however in different demographic areas, with different student C-186 © 2015: The Royal Institution of Naval Architects the 9.

As future work, it is essential to carry out further studies to understand the various paths of adopting CoU knowledge in Naval Architecture and Maritime Engineering undergraduate degrees.
