Semester 2 Credit Value:	10
ECTS Credits:	10.0

Aims

To develop knowledge and understanding of:

A1 - Engineering Design and its fundamentals
A2 - The multi-disciplinary nature of marine propulsion systems design
A3 - Rationale for machinery selection, installation and operation

Outline Of Syllabus

This module provides students with a deep and detailed understanding of engineering design rationale, procedures and multiple criteria design. Students will learn how to arrange and implement machinery space, main/auxiliary power systems and axuiliary machinery facilities onboard ships. Specific attention will be given to standard and non-standard propulsion units. Teamwork and leadership qualities are introduced, exercised and assessed.

Topics include:

Engineering Design, Logical design method, Pareto distribution, marine vehicle applications, ship design; Marine Engineering Design, Machinery requirements, Machinery constraints, Marine environment; Machinery selection, Interaction with ship design, General requirements and considerations; Marine propulsion systems, Overall considerations, Selection and configuration, Combined systems, power transmission and matching; Gearing, Basic Gear Design, Gear types and applications; shafting, design sequence, vibration, arrangement consideration, shaft withdrawal; Propellers, propeller types and applications; space arrangement, main machinery, design and requirements, classification societies recommendations; piping design phases, general guidelines and detailed design, materials, insulations; automation, UMS concept, intelligent engine; design for production, general design techniques, modular construction, standardisation, scheduling. Team work: principles, responsibilities and team management. Engineering economic principles and economic criteria, the role of classification societies and regulatory influences, design for production and project management, principles of cost estimating.

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 module will consist of online lecture recordings and guided study materials with a mixture of in-person and synchronous online tutorials to provide structured support for the students' learning. The structured online materials covering both semesters will define the scope of each of the syllabus topics. The use of online lecture recordings as the principle teaching method is an effective means to assist in the acquisition of a knowledge base that will facilitate understanding of a sizeable and detailed body of material (IKO1-3).

Tutorials provide a forum in which students are given the opportunity to develop subject-specific skills, negotiate their problems in a less formal approach (IS01-3).

The group project will provide a platform for team work, active participation to exercise team-membership or leadership skills, planning, initiative, organisational, interpersonal, oral presentation, problem solving and numeracy skills (ISO1-3).

Students should consult their timetable for up-to-date delivery information.

Assessment Methods

The format of resits will be determined by the Board of Examiners

Assessment Rationale And Relationship

The examination affords students an opportunity to demonstrate knowledge, understanding and possession of subject-specific and key skills. This medium also allows students to demonstrate intended learning outcomes across a wide range of topics from the syllabus (IKO1-IKO4).
The engineering design group project provides students with an opportunity to demonstrate written communication, teamwork, leadership, planning and organising, initiative, problem solving, technical creativity and innovation, numeracy and computer literacy and associated cognitive skills. (ISO1-ISO3).
