Course purpose

Naval Architecture connects multiple engineering disciplines into the design and construction of marine structures, e.g. ships. This course gives specific knowledge of disciplines used in the design of marine structures in the context of the Mobility engineering master's program. More specifically, the students learn about the design methodology of marine propulsion systems as a continuation of the course MMS195, Introduction to Propulsion Systems, further connecting to the course MMA163 Ship Resistance and Propulsion. Moreover, the second part of the course - buckling - complements the course MMA169, Structural Engineering.
