The emphasis is placed on usage of CAD tools for ship hullform design and development. Methodology for the development of design objective(s), literature surveys, base case designs, and design alternatives are given. Students are encouraged to select their senior capstone design project near the end of the course, form teams, and commence preliminary work. Close NE 423:Engineering Design VII Senior design courses. Complete design sequence with a required capstone project spanning two semesters. The capstone design project will use the entire range of knowledge and skills acquired in earlier courses. The project will include extensive instruction in, and incorporation of, engineering standards, professional ethics, environmental impacts, and economics. These aims will be accomplished by providing students with realistic ship design performance requirements, and instruction and advice from practicing ship design professionals. Close OE 531:Total Ship Design I This course is the first one of a two-course sequence and the focus will be on marine engineerign aspects and machinery considerations.  Topics covered in this course include: Diesel engines, steam turbines and gas turbines as marine prime movers. Thermodynamic cycles, ratings, matching to loads. Engine-propeller matching. Mechanical transmission of power to marine loads. Ship Design Process, Mission and Owner's Requirements, Regulatory and Classification Requirements, Design/Production Integration and Ship Building Process.
