IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ

COURSE DELIVERY MODE:
it is a mix of weekly lectures (livestreamed and recorded but preferred face-to-face attendance if possible) and of an intensive period around mid-semester.

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,
- The reverse engineering of an existing ship from an analytical perspective,
- An engineering analysis on an existing ship with proposed modifications on key platform and combat systems for 21st-century challenges readiness,
- A project to design a navy ship: this course addresses the final systems engineering part leading to the student’s proposed solution to a set of requirements (actually addressed in MECH ENG 7048).

Seminars are organized with Industry and a students’ seminar concludes the course with project presentations.

On successful completion of this course students will be able to:

1	Identify current classes of Ships (OPV, Frigates, Destroyers, LHD) and design philosophies in depth.
2	Explain the design to build approach in the context of ships and their systems.
3	Describe the different systems (platform or combat) in a navy ship.
4	Demonstrate how to build a ship from a new class or an evolution of an existing one.
5	Apply the design process to carry out the final part of a feasibility phase on a concept navy ship project.
6	Check the design feasibility of ships and their seaworthiness.
7	Create a navy ship concept design from top-level requirements.

 
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):  
 

1.1	1.2	1.3	1.4	1.5	1.6	2.1	2.2	2.3	2.4	3.1	3.2	3.3	3.4	3.5	3.6

Background reading and videos help the students project themselves into the world of submariners, mostly within Defence.

Weekly lectures provide the students with background knowledge but also a forum in which they are engaged.
Lecturers are proposing materials on which the students are asked about their analysis facing a specific engineering problem within the submarine context.
These lectures feature video and graphics to best illustrate the challenge.

An intensive part of the course is run mid-semester with Industry lecturers bringing their knowledge and personal stories.
As a result of this, the course is a mix of theory (academic) and industry experience with real-life situations that the engineers had to face.

Students have some formative quizzes leading them from the design principles to actual implementation on systems and technological choices, whilst ensuring balance of the overall ship.

That knowledge is then used by the students on a number of projects:
- The reverse engineering of an existing ship from an analytical perspective,
- An engineering analysis on an existing ship with proposed modifications on key platform and combat systems for 21st century challenges readiness,
- A project to design a navy ship: this course addresses the final systems engineering part leading to the student’s proposed solution to a set of requirements (actually addressed in MECH ENG 7048).

Seminars are organized with Industry and a students’ seminar concludes the course with project presentations.

The expected workload of 12 hours per week comprises:
- Background reading,
- Lecture attendance,
- Project,
- Peer reviews

PROJECT (20%)

The Project will involve the integration of sub-components into modules and modules into a naval platform. This Project will reflect the reality of system integration and it will be structured in a manner to assess students on an individual and team basis. The Project will form a significant element of the Course requiring students to draw on previous course material and researching allocated aspects of the design.
