Lectures and Seminars These are given in core subjects, and are supported by a variety of coursework exercises and case studies. The examinations cover three subjects namely - Dynamics, Thermodynamics, Automatic Control. Each Marine Engineering Student is grouped with one or two Naval Architects to work on the design of a specific vessel. The Marine engineers role is mainly to specify the propulsive machinery and all auxillary equipment. The individual project allows the student to demonstrate the capability to formulate a plan to solve a particular problem and then to execute that plan.
Projects are often design, build and test or can be analytical in nature.
The course covers a wide range of engineering subjects relevant to the development and procurement of marine systems. The course overview, lectures and seminars consist of about 200 hours of formal tuition. The remainder consists of tutorials and time for students to undertake course work and individual work. The Ship Design exercise based on a report on the work done and the oral presentations given on the work. This work is done in a group, but each student is individually assessed.
