Detailed
description of topics:
The ultimate goal of the study in Maritime
Technology is the design, building and operation of ships and other floating objects.
Economic and safe designs and the integration of
knowledge is required of a.o. seakeeping, resistance and propulsion, manoeuvrability,
strength and vibrations, intact and damaged stability, costprice and operational costs and
3-D computer aided design.
The exercise in ship design will be effectuated in a
realistic environment. For that purpose design studios are available in which project
teams of 3 students are working together on one design. This also involves a practical
exercise in project management and concurrent engineering reflecting current practice. The
result of the design process has to be presented in a written and oral presentation.
It is considered of importance that the design exercise
is not anly an application of techniques which are dealt with in the first 22 years of the
study, but mainly an exercise in design: the creation of a competitive and safe ship,
using state-of-the-art techniques and integrating knowledge from many sources. This
implies that the students should have a working knowledge of the basic techniques required
in ship design. In general the exercise will involve a ship of a known type, but with a
challenging design aspect. Further a typical model building of the ship or a part of the
ship will be required, to further improve the insight into a specific design problem.
The design exercise also involves the course tc3 (oral
reporting and presenting).

Remarks
(specific information about assesment, entry requirements, etc.):
Time schedule
Students with nominal study traject: Request for
exercise December, Start exercise January, Submission and presentation June
Students with delayed study traject: Request for
exercise July, Start exercise September, Submission and presentation January
Rules
Design teams of 3 persons; 1 person to be appointed
as leader
Fixed start and end date
Planning with milestones, responsibility schemes,
task lists and weekly reporting
Every team member and the team as a whole account for
their hours spent
The team is working at TU premises and is available
for support and control by the supervisor at agreed hours
Though every team member can work on a task of his
special interest or skill, a regular shift has to take place, so that all aspects of the
ship design can be experienced by all team members. Main decisions have to be taken in the
design team

Computer
use:
Extensive use will be made of PC's/workstations for
calculations, drawings and reporting. In a future stage rapid phototyping is envisaged.
Emphasis is placed on the extensive use of sketches and models to elucidate the design
process. The use of hand made sketches as prelude to the CAD models and drawings is
strongly recommended.
