Teaching Rationale And Relationship
Lectures are designed to convey the underlying concepts and knowledge of mooring and riser systems (IKO1 – IKO6), umbilical systems (IKO7) and the professional skills required to design and analyse mooring lines, risers and umbilical (ISO1 – ISO6).
Practicals sessions are a mix of supervised and self-organising activities in which the students develop intellectual and problem-solving skills to design and analyse mooring, riser and umbilical systems (ISO1 – ISO6).
Independent study gives time for the students to read recommended references (IKO1 – IKO7) and practise their professional skills (ISO1 – ISO6).
Alternative will be offered to students who are unable to be present in person.
Students should consult their individual timetable for up-to-date delivery information
