A laboratory course directed to acquainting ocean engineering students with the basic machinery and machining processes used to fabricate parts of engineering systems for use in an ocean environment. This course averages one lecture and one four-hour dive per week.
Lectures cover scientific diving techniques.
Field work provides students with hands-on experience in conducting underwater scientific experiments. Dynamic analysis of particles, kinematics, kinetics and relative motion. Kinematics of rigid bodies, plane motion and general motion. Five major lab experiences, including one or more at sea, are included. Applications of concepts to ideal gases, gas and vapor mixtures, vapor and gas cycles.
