Please note! Course description is confirmed for two academic years, 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:
• Understands the concept of systems engineering and can apply it to the design of ship and marine traffic systems
• Can describe main systems requirements in ships and marine traffic systems
• Can define and justify the ways to fulfil ships and marine traffic systems requirements
• Can create a concept design of a ship machinery system by selecting appropriate components, guided by principles of energy efficiency and maritime shipping sustainability
• Can apply current regulatory requirements for ship and marine traffic systems
• Can describe how adverse environmental effects of ships can be minimized, below the current and known future requirements

Assessment Methods and Criteria
  • Valid 01.08.2020-31.07.2022:

    The project is assessed weekly (after lecture 3), contributing to 40% of the course grade. Feedback and guidance will be given on the assignments, which will allow for the improved submission in the form of a final report. Learning logs should be provided after every two lectures, contributing to 10% of the course grade. The final exam will be 50% of the grade.

Workload
  • Valid 01.08.2020-31.07.2022:

    The course utilizes guided problem-based learning concept. System engineering and its application for designing ship and marine traffic systems are introduced at the beginning of the course. Ship and marine systems requirements are also introduced at the beginning of the course and the lectures evolve around them. The course project is to select, describe and justify the choice of ship and marine traffic systems. The lectures introduce the main type of ship and marine traffic systems or equipment and students afterwards consider that topic for their projects. The course includes 2-3 expert forums where ship and marine traffic systems are presented in the context of current case studies. Projects are carried out in groups of 3-5 students, preferably the same as in Principal Naval Architecture and/or Ship Design Portfolio -courses.

    Interactive lectures: 20h (2 x 2h/week, 5 weeks, 10 occasions)
    Instructed workshops: 8h (2h/week, 4 weeks)
    Group work: 30h (5 hours/week, 6 weeks)
    Studying materials: 60h (10 hours/week, 6 weeks)
    Preparing for the exam: 20h
