Introduction to Marine Technology

About this programme

In this course you will learn about the principles of ship hydrostatics, stability, resistance and propulsion, ship design and worldwide shipping. In a realistic project, you will apply your knowledge and develop your skills by designing a ship to meet a specific transport scenario. Technical, economic, geographical and environmental aspects as well as laws and regulations must be considered in order to find an effective solution. The course is a good introduction to marine technology and naval architecture for students who have a general interest in mechanics, engineering design or transport Choose semester and course offering to see current information and more about the course, such as course syllabus, study period, and application information. Please note: all information from the Course syllabus is available on this page in an accessible format. Lectures and seminars introducing basic ship theory, the ship design process, and systems engineering concepts. Hands on experiments on ship stability and resistance. Individual ship design project and related workshops. This course gives an introduction to naval architecture, i.e. the engineering design of ships and other marine technology systems, and basic theory on ship hydrostatics, stability, resistance and propulsion. The objective is that students after finishing the course shall be able to: Completed courses of at least 120 credits with major in technology, of which at least 25 credits in mathematics and at least 15 credits in mechanics.
