Aims
To provide students with an appraisal of propulsion and auxiliary systems and to introduce marine engineering equipment demonstrating its function within marine engineering plant. To give students an appreciation of the process of the marine engineering systems design and how physical constraints impact upon design.
Outline Of Syllabus
The lecture material will cover:
The need for marine engineering systems
The physics of ship propulsion
An introduction to prime-mover systems
An introduction to propulsive systems
An introduction to marine electrical systems
Auxiliary systems
Marine engineering system integration
The module will include preschool reading, examples, a preschool assignment, an intensive school, and a post school assignment.

Teaching Rationale And Relationship
Students are encouraged to develop their knowledge and value of the subject by independent reading for which they are given guidance in the distance learning material (IKO1 - 3). The preschool study is reinforced via lectures during the intensive school itself. The problem solving tutorials during the intensive school and work-based assessments and application after the intensive school also enable the students to learn. Subject specific skills (e.g. IT and project planning) are developed via the distance learning material, which is delivered by a web-based VLE. Cognitive skills (problem solving/ decision making) are taught primarily through case studies and tutorial classes, and developed through work based assignments. Key transferable skills (communication, time management, ability to work alone etc) are developed through work based pre- and post school assignments and via completion of the module itself, including the distance learning material (ISO1 - 9).
Assessment Methods
The format of resits will be determined by the Board of Examiners
Exams
| Description | Length | Semester | When Set | Percentage | Comment |

Assessment Rationale And Relationship
Learning is assessed via the written assignments (IKO 1-3). Subject specific and cognitive skills are assessed via design exercises and the module assignments, as are communication skills (ISO 1-9)
