Remarks
(specific information about assesment, entry requirements, etc.):
In the workshops recent publications are studied.
Participants have to subscribe prior to the first workshop, attending the workshops is a

studying the publications. Credits will be given on basis of the student's participation
in the workshops. Maximum number of participants is 10.
|
Goals:
The workshops aim to teach the students new
developments in the field of ship and offshore structures, to provide insight in the use
of first principles in the field and to show how new developments may require additional
and new knowledge. The workshops also learn to understand and evaluate more advanced
publications in the field.
