Learning outcome
Knowledge
The candidate should acquire knowledge in:
Principles of maritime design, with the human component in the form/function basic design process.
Overview of the big and complex structures that are used to explore the blue ocean environment.
Introduction and training on the main literature methods used to design, analyse and evaluate maritime systems.
Introduction to decision-making theory and common techniques used to rank and quantify designs.
Skills
At the end of the course the candidate should be able to:
Identify the main engineered maritime systems.
Understand the mission and performance concept in these systems.
Be acquainted with state of the art literature used to design and analysis such systems.
Create a concept design of such structures, with preliminary requirements, analyses and evaluation.
Competence
Understanding the mapping between Form/Function of a maritime design problem.
Converging these basic design problems to a specific research question within maritime design.
Filter state-of-the-art literature of methods and analyses to specific problems of their research.
Identify these methods in real maritime systems, applying them to solve a specific problem from their research.
Use mission-performance-economics methods to quantify and evaluate her/his specific problem in design.
Learning methods and activities
The course will consist of lectures, literature reading, work on assignments, exercises, and discussions.
The teaching is given as intensive seminars containing lectures, group-work and self-studies.
A minimum of 80% attendance at workshops/seminars is required.
Presentation must be given.
Compulsory assignments
- Mandatory assignment
Further on evaluation
The student will write a review paper reflecting the implementation of contents covered in the course in the student`s individual research project. The paper must be equivalent in size and depth of an academic article following academic standards for publications.
The course participants are also expected to solve and submit a number of homework assignments based on their own research problem during the classes.
The homework assignments and paper will be graded as Passed/Not Passed. Passed shall correspond to an academic level equivalent to minimum grade B.
Recommended previous knowledge
MSc or equivalent in such areas as engineering, management, maritime technology, nautical science, maritime operations management.
Required previous knowledge
MSc or equivalent degree.
