Course Number: ME232
Course Title: Naval Architecture and Ship Construction II

 STUDENT LEARNING OUTCOMES

General

This course provides the student with the skills to control the operation of the ship and care for persons on board at the operational level. The course will provide the student with the knowledge and skills required to explain the basic principles involved in vessel form definition, the calculation of the loading on structures due to liquid depths, carry out basic stability calculations and assess the stability of the vessel, calculate the basic ship resistance and propulsion requirements and manage structural related requirements to maintain seaworthiness of a vessel.

Specific
Students will be able to:

1. Determine the basic principles involved in vessel form and dimensions.
2. Determine the change of hydrostatic pressure with liquid depth and the resulting loading on structures.
3. Carry out basic stability calculations and assess the stability of vessels.
4. Carry out basic trim calculations and assess the trim and draft of the vessel.
5. Determine the fundamental principles of ship resistance and propulsion requirements on vessels.
6. Identify and minimize the stresses acting on the vessel structure.
7. Manage the survey and maintenance of major structural components of vessels.
8. Manage the survey and maintenance of special structural requirements and arrangements on various vessel types.
