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.
Teaching Methods
Please note that module leaders are reviewing the module teaching and assessment methods for Semester 2 modules, in light of the Covid-19 restrictions. There may also be a few further changes to Semester 1 modules. Final information will be available by the end of August 2020 in for Semester 1 modules and the end of October 2020 for Semester 2 modules.

Teaching Rationale And Relationship
The use of lectures, including guest contributions from industry, is an effective means to provide students with the acquisition of the knowledge relating to IKO1 IKO2 lecture series provides a means to provide students with insight into contemporary issues in innovations in research, development and design in marine technology as well as to introduce them to topics not covered in the formal curriculum. This provides opportunity to develop the related skills (ISO1).
Alternatives will be offered to students unable to be present-in-person due to the prevailing C-19 circumstances.
Students should consult their timetable for up-to-date delivery information.

Exams
| Description | Length | Semester | When Set | Percentage | Comment |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Written Examination | 120 | 2 | A | 100 | This Exam is a multi-choice question paper |
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.
