Aims
A1 - To make students aware of contemporary regulatory influences on design and operation;
A2 - To make students aware of current design trends and innovations in marine design;
A3 - To provide opportunity for additional lectures on topics outside of the formal curriculum.
Outline Of Syllabus
The role of classification societies and regulatory influences on design and operation; current trends and innovations in ship design, marine engineering design, small craft technology and offshore design.
The lectures series is based on inviting guest lecturers from industry and academia organised by the module contributors.
Learning Outcomes
Intended Knowledge Outcomes
On completing this module, students will be able to demonstrate knowledge and understanding of:
IKO1 - The regulatory influence on design and operation of new designs (C7, C15).
IKO2 - Awareness of current trends and innovation in design and operation in the marine field (C2, C4, C5).
Intended Skill Outcomes
Opportunities are afforded to develop the following subject-specific skills:
ISO1 To be aware of and how to apply new technologies and applications in marine design and operation (C2, C4, C5, C7, C15)

Assessment Rationale And Relationship
The written examination will assess the breadth of knowledge, understanding and ability to perform techno-economic calculation and cost estimations to assess the viability of new marine projects (IKO1-IKO3). In doing so the examination assesses literacy, numeracy and active learning. This medium also allows students to demonstrate the intended outcomes across a wide range of topics from the lecture series and background reading on current trends in design research and development in the marine field.
