Naval Architecture Design

3 Credits.

Design and analyze maritime vessels using the principles of Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering. This course bridges theory and practice through lectures, skill-building assignments, and a capstone design project. Students will delve into key topics such as vessel geometry, structural and hydrostatic analyses, dynamic stability, and propulsion systems. Emphasizing practical application, the course integrates systems architecture principles including trade studies and adherence to design requirements. This course is for engineers interested in maritime projects, applied engineering systems, or advancing their skill set in Naval Architecture. Proficiency in MATLAB/Python and CAD design tools is recommended but not required.
