PROJECT: EPSS: Enlisted
Professional Military Education (E-PME)

The Need . The Enlisted Professional Military Education (E-PME) program replaces the Military Requirement (MRN) system.
E-PME is a holistic education system that provides a continuum of leadership training based on successive pay grades, enabling Coast Guard enlisted personnel to acquire the knowledge, skills, and ability required for positions of greater responsibility within the organization.

Since students do not have Workstations available in there rooms after hours there became a need for a new deliver method

Solution. Create a cost-effective, Pocket PC-deliverable Electronic Performance Support System using Flash, XML, and Adobe Reader for Pocket PC to allow the student to view vital information relevant to their overall career in the Coast Guard.

• Created a familiar template that keeps consistent with standards set and used for TRACEN Petaluma and Coast Guard Websites.
• Created XML system for displaying available documents then allowing them to open up a pdf that has been modified for the smaller screen.
  

Results . Users will be able to view information not before available except from a standard Coast Guard workstation.
