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
At the end of the course the student:
- understands the physics of both intact and damaged ship stability
- knows how ship stability issues need to be considered in ship design
- can interpret the background and meaning of ship various stability regulations
- can apply this knowledge on design and stability analyses of own ship project.
