Overview
What you will study
The Introduction to Marine Technology course, provided by KTH Royal Institute of Technology, 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.
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 objective is that students after finishing the course shall be able to:
- demonstrate knowledge and understanding of the scientific basis and proven experience of ship design and insight into current research and development work;
- demonstrate methodological knowledge and understanding in ship hydrostatics, stability, resistance and propulsion;
- demonstrate ability to model, simulate, predict and evaluate ships' hydrostatics, stability, resistance, even on the basis of limited information;
- demonstrate ability to independently make the initial design of a ship for a certain transport scenario, taking into account relevant scientific, economic and environmental aspects, and international regulatory frameworks;
- give an account of the international shipping markets and the corresponding stakeholders, goods flow paths, and ship types;
- discuss the opportunities for seaborne transportation in a sustainable society and describe the shipping-related environmental problems and measures for tackling them;
- demonstrate ability to plan and carry out advanced engineering tasks within given frames using appropriate methods and to evaluate this work;
- demonstrate ability to clearly present and discuss engineering conclusions and the knowledge and arguments behind them, in dialogue with different groups, orally and in writing, in national and international contexts.
Programme Structure
The program focuses on:
- lectures and seminars introducing basic ship theory
