The aims of this module are to build on the knowledge and skills in the field of offshore engineering and offshore renewable energy harvesting, to introduce offshore drilling engineering and oil and gas development procedures, and to develop skills required to predict the functional performance and dynamic features for offshore structures, foundations, and installations.
The module applies the fundamental hydrodynamics principles to various issues experienced in offshore engineering. The teaching topics include:
1. Overview of fundamentals of offshore hydrodynamics and mechanics,
2. Learning of calculation methods in offshore dynamics including wind-wave-current theories, potential
flow theory, operation dynamic theories, offshore foundation theories, and mooring theories et al.
3. Introduction of hydrodynamic testing procedures, skills, and facilities.
4. Learning of analysis method for dynamic performances of offshore renewable energy harvesting systems.
5. Learning techniques for developing oil and gas fields and drilling offshore wells.

The lectures and tutorials are designed to assist students in the acquisition of a knowledge base that will facilitate understanding of concepts and detailed analysis methods (IKO1-IKO8).
The tutorials provide students with an opportunity to demonstrate written communication skills, research related skills, IT skills and depth of understanding (and associated cognitive skills). (ISO1 - ISO7)
The format of resits will be determined by the Board of Examiners

Oral Presentation | 1 | M | Formative Assessment held in mid-Semester 1 |
The examination provides students with an opportunity to demonstrate knowledge, understanding and the possession of subject-specific, cognitive and key skills. This medium also allows students to demonstrate intended learning outcomes across a wide range of topics within the syllabus. (IKO1-IKO8 and ISO1-ISO7)
