Abstract. This study investigated maritime students’ perceptions on the integration of computational intelligence and mathematics skills in the Maritime Management curriculum at Zamboanga Peninsula Polytechnic State University, Zamboanga City, Philippines. Using a quantitative descriptive design, data were collected from first-year to third-year Maritime Management students through a Likert-scale survey and analyzed using mean and standard deviation. Results showed that students perceived both computational intelligence and mathematics skills as very essential in their maritime education. They recognized computational intelligence as important for improving decision-making and operational efficiency, while mathematics was viewed as a foundational skill supporting data analysis, modeling, and optimization in maritime applications.The study concludes that maritime students strongly support the integration of computational intelligence and mathematics in the curriculum, highlighting their relevance to future maritime careers in a technology-driven industry.
