MECH ENG 7042 - Introduction to Submarine Design

North Terrace Campus - Semester 2 - 2024

Introduction to submarine design gives the student an understanding of the basic principles of submarine design in a complex modern multi-platform system. The course gives a general introduction to the operational requirements for submarines and what architecture and technologies can deliver the capability. Areas covered are the submarine design and development process and all its phases: the different design philosophies from all countries since WWII, the platform and combat systems, pressure hull design considerations, but also how to balance a submarine design (eg weight and buoyancy relations, overall submarine performance,). How to ensure sea worthiness for submarines: fit for purpose, safe to operate and environmentally compliant. Students will deliver a submarine concept design project using the software Paramarine.

    IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ


    COURSE DELIVERY MODE:
    it is a mix of weekly lectures (livestream and recorded but preferred face-to-face attendance if possible) and of an intensive period of 3 days (plus one day prior which aggregates the face-to-face previous parts).

    For REMOTE LEARNING STUDENTS:
    Depending on your time zone (Canada/USA - Europe), there will be specific timeslots to catch-up live with the course coordinator.

    ASSIGNMENTS:
    - formative assignments ( not counting towards final grade): there will be several formative quizzes for students to check their learning
    - summative assessments:
            - a Quiz,
            - a Report to introduce a submarine class,
            - A report on a submarine accident,
            - a Project with:
                  - a concept of operation (CONOPS) for a new submarine (with tutored sessions to support its development),
                  - a presentation of the Conops in a seminar,
            - an open book exam.

    There will be a timeslot at the end of the semester to present the students' submarine concept of operations.

    The conops will be used for MECH ENG7046 if the student is pursuing a subsequent semester.

    Assignments are spread out over the semester with a drumbeat of one every two weeks in conjunction with MECH ENG7046.

  • Learning Outcomes
    Course Learning Outcomes
    On successful completion of this course students will be able to:
    1 Identify submarines and design philosophies worldwide.
    2 Explain the systems engineering approach in the context of submarines and their systems.
    3 Summarize the various balances to reach in order to prepare seaworthiness demonstration - feasibility.
    4 Apply the design process to carry out the first part of a feasibility phase on a concept submarine project.
    5 Compare and calculate top-level performances on submarines for resistance and energy/propulsion.
    6 Evaluate the fitness for purpose and safety of submarine systems.
    7 Develop a set of requirements for a submarine to ultimately safely design a concept.

     
    The above course learning outcomes are aligned with the Engineers Australia . The course develops the following EA Elements of Competency to levels of introductory (A), intermediate (B), advanced (C):

  • Assessment

    The University's policy on Assessment for Coursework Programs is based on the following four principles:

    1. Assessment must encourage and reinforce learning.
    2. Assessment must enable robust and fair judgements about student performance.
    3. Assessment practices must be fair and equitable to students and give them the opportunity to demonstrate what they have learned.
    4. Assessment must maintain academic standards.

  • Student Feedback

    The University places a high priority on approaches to learning and teaching that enhance the student experience. Feedback is sought from students in a variety of ways including on-going engagement with staff, the use of online discussion boards and the use of Student Experience of Learning and Teaching (SELT) surveys as well as GOS surveys and Program reviews.

    SELTs are an important source of information to inform individual teaching practice, decisions about teaching duties, and course and program curriculum design. They enable the University to assess how effectively its learning environments and teaching practices facilitate student engagement and learning outcomes. Under the current SELT Policy (http://www.adelaide.edu.au/policies/101/) course SELTs are mandated and must be conducted at the conclusion of each term/semester/trimester for every course offering. Feedback on issues raised through course SELT surveys is made available to enrolled students through various resources (e.g. MyUni). In addition aggregated course SELT data is available.

  • Student Support
  • Policies & Guidelines
  • Fraud Awareness

    Students are reminded that in order to maintain the academic integrity of all programs and courses, the university has a zero-tolerance approach to students offering money or significant value goods or services to any staff member who is involved in their teaching or assessment. Students offering lecturers or tutors or professional staff anything more than a small token of appreciation is totally unacceptable, in any circumstances. Staff members are obliged to report all such incidents to their supervisor/manager, who will refer them for action under the university's student鈥檚 disciplinary procedures.
