    The course introduces you the specifics of the passenger ship design and its relation to systems engineering. After the course, you understand the current trends, business developments and future markets for passenger ships. You can define radical architectural design of a passenger ship at different levels and you can apply the user-centric design in passenger ship context. You can define a general arrangement of a passenger ship based on broad set of design requirements, specific for passenger ships, and you know the passenger ship safety requirements and current regulatory requirements, how to attain them or how to go beyond them, if necessary.

    The course utilizes guided problem-based distance-learning concept. The content is cross-disciplinary and is suitable for students of different backgrounds (design, economics, engineering). Lectures introduce topics which are then considered with respect to the projects. Work is performed in cross-disciplinary groups. Progress of the project is checked on weekly basis. The final project is presented in the end of the course to experts from industry and academia via pitches in format of a video. Work load is roughly:

    • Online-lecture slides: 10h (2h/week, 5 weeks)
    • Instructed workshops (on-line): 15h (3h/week, 5 weeks)
    • Group work: 60h (10 hours/week, 6 weeks)
    • Individual work: 40h (8 hours/week, 5 weeks)

    The course starts on October 26th 2020 10:00 via Zoom where we agree the details of the course, for the link see bottom of the page. During the course we also introduce sessions where we can go through the open questions of the course, these times and contents we agree on the kickoff event (Wednesday 09:00-11:00 is reserved for this). The course is graded when all submissions are done. However, all of these must be delivered to jani.romanoff@aalto.fi by December 4th2020 16:00. The spring period deadline is May 4th 2021. 

    Grading

    The course is graded based on individual (40%) and group performance (40%) and pitch (20%). 

    The individual performance is graded per week/lecture by (max 100%):

    • 25% written review of the lecture slides and their relation to own studies and project
    • 25% on mind-map presentation of the lecture slides and their relation to own studies
    • 50% on review of weekly articles in format of written text and position on the mind-map

    Group work in individual assignments is not allowed (violation will lead to zero points in round). 

    The group performance is graded per week by (max 100%):

    • 75% integrity and robustness of the work performed including level of analyses
    • 25% reporting including quality of the produced materials and reflection to theory

    Any problems with group dynamics should be included to course teacher during course. 

    Pitch is graded based on clarity and quality of the presentation (max 100%).
