Please note! Course description is confirmed for two academic years (1.8.2018-31.7.2020), which means that in general, e.g. Learning outcomes, assessment methods and key content stays unchanged. However, via course syllabus, it is possible to specify or change the course execution in each realization of the course, such as how the contact sessions are organized, assessment methods weighted or materials used.

LEARNING OUTCOMES

After the course, the student:

Can describe main systems requirements in ships

Can define and justify the ways to fulfil systems requirements

Can create a concept design of a machinery system by selecting appropriate components, guided by principles of energy efficient design

Can apply current regulatory requirements for ship systems and understands what it takes to go beyond them

Knows the utilization of automation systems in contemporary ship designs

Can describe how adverse environmental effects of ships can be minimized, below the current and known future requirements

CONTENT, ASSESSMENT AND WORKLOAD

Content
  • Valid 01.08.2020-31.07.2022:

    Ship system engineering in ship design, Foundations of systems engineering and its connection to marine systems, Propulsion plant management and its systems, Auxiliary power management and machinery operation, Navigation and maneuvering, IT and communication systems, Ballast and trim management systems. In addtion 3 special sessions organised jointly with Finnish Maritime cluster

     

  • Applies in this implementation:

    The purpose of the course
    is to give a summary of the all the important ship systems needed for ship
    operations and which enable control ship operations on various levels.

     After the course, the
    student:

    - Can describe main systems
    requirements in ships

    - Can define and justify the
    ways to fulfil systems requirements

    - Can create a concept design
    of a machinery system by selecting appropriate components, guided by principles
    of energy efficient design

    -  Can apply current
    regulatory requirements for ship systems and understands what it takes to go
    beyond them

    - Knows the utilization of
    automation systems in contemporary ship designs

    - Can describe how adverse
    environmental effects of ships can be minimized, below the current and known
    future requirements 

    The course utilizes guided
    problem-based learning concept. Ship system requirements are identified in
    beginning and the lectures evolve around them. The course project is to select,
    describe and justify the choice of certain equipment. Each lecture introduces
    certain type of system or equipment and students afterwards consider that topic
    for their projects. Some topics are introduced by visiting lecturers from
    industry. Projects are carried out in groups of 3-5 students, preferably the
    same as in Principles of Naval Architecture- course.

    Ship system design and its
    integration to ship design, Energy sources and fuel types in modern
    applications, Modern motor types, Exhaust treatment systems, HVAC systems, Heat
    balance and heat recovery systems, Energy efficiency, Electric systems, Propulsion
    systems and manoeuvring technology, Ship automation and control systems, Fire
    safety equipment, Communication and IT equipment, Selected topics on special
    ship systems (e.g. arctic/sub-arctic conditions), Environmental impact and
    legislation, Design methods and tools (CFD, 3D-CAD, NAPA etc.)


Assessment Methods and Criteria
  • Valid 01.08.2020-31.07.2022:

    The project is assessed weekly, contributing to 40% of course grade. Comments will be given on the assignments, which will allow for the improved submission in the form of a final report, giving another 10% of the grade. Final exam will be second 50% of the grade. The grading is based 50% on technical contents, 20% on using technical tools, 15% on reporting and 15% on reflection to previous studies.

  • Applies in this implementation:

    Evaluation will be based on the exam and and evaluation of the project work. The project is assessed
    weekly, contributing to 40% of course grade. Comments will be given on the
    assignments, which will allow for the improved submission in the form of a
    final report, giving another 10% of the grade. Final exam will be second 50% of
    the grade.

Workload
  • Valid 01.08.2020-31.07.2022:

    The course utilizes system engineeting and guided problem-based learning concept. Ship system requirements are identified in beginning and the lectures evolve around them. The course project is to select, describe and justify the choice of certain equipment. Each lecture introduces certain type of system or equipment and students afterwards consider that topic for their projects. Some topics are introduced by visiting lecturers from industry. Projects are carried out in groups of 3-5 students, preferably the same as in PNA or Applied Mechanics Project course.
