Eleven Naval Reserve Officer Candidate Corps and civilian students from UNC recently visited the USS North Carolina Battleship Memorial in Wilmington for a behind-the-scenes tour of the engineering spaces of the giant ship.<\/p>\n

The expedition, led by NROTC staff, gave students an opportunity for a hands-on learning experience to better understand the purpose behind the complex equipment and how all of the machinery works in tandem to accomplish a common goal.<\/p>\n

Midshipman First Class Alexander Walden, an astrophysics major who will graduate in May 2016 and has been assigned to become a Naval Flight Officer, said \u201cbeing able to look at the internal components was phenomenal. It gave me a better understanding of the machinery, and I\u2019m looking forward to working on similar equipment when I fly with the Navy.\u201d<\/p>\n

Joe Biernacki, a civilian business administration major enrolled in NAVS 301, said \u201cnot being in NROTC, this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for me. I hadn\u2019t considered how all of the different jobs on board a ship fit together and how everyone has to be focused on their job to support all the different missions a ship can perform. It was really eye-opening.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Department of Naval Science was able to offer the experience, part of its \u201cStrategic Initiatives for Leadership and Education,\u201d due to support from the College of Arts and Sciences.<\/p>\n
