Marine technology 6 - Design of marine systems

Marine system design case assignment: A CDIO-build exercise, according to the FTS project.

The course will give the students practice in the design of a marine system, with emphasis on the contribution from marine engineering disciplines in such a design process. This involves acquiring and applying relevant information and relevant methods in the design process and associated marine technical analyses. It is assumed that the students are able to use the syllabus the students have had so far in their studies in an adequate way. In addition, lectures will be given in new topics that are central to being able to complete the course. An important part of the course is being able to reflect on your own design and analysis process and the results of these.

Project planning of a marine system, with a focus on characteristics (functional requirements) to cover key future needs within social and business development. The design process will help to illuminate the role and contribution of important marine technical engineering disciplines as they are organized into the specializations of the study programme.

Central topics covered in the course are needs clarification, idea development, idea evaluation and choice of concept. The results of this work will be further processed into comprehensive solutions. Drawings, models, analysis and description of the marine system as a whole, as well as of the most important subsystems, shall be prepared.

Big-challenge project challenge

Industrial cooperation

Interdisciplinary marine technical and interpersonal skills

The course seeks to provide students with comprehensive and integrated competence consisting of knowledge, skills and attitudes to be able to actively participate in the development of new marine engineering solutions in a life-cycle perspective.

A student who has completed the course is expected to have achieved the following learning outcomes, defined in terms of knowledge, skills and general competence:

Knowledge

The subject will provide knowledge of a comprehensive approach that takes into account marine technical contributions to global challenges such as climate, environment, energy, food, minerals, transport, biological diversity and safety. Knowledge of the use of marine engineering discipline-competence within engineering for the design, analysis, implementation and operation of vessels, ships and other structures, systems and services for knowledge-based value creation and sustainable management of the oceans.

The candidate must be able to demonstrate:

• knowledge within marine engineering core and discipline subjects as well as knowledge of methods and tools for work with planning, development, analysis, modelling, simulation, problem solving, as well as innovation and entrepreneurship within marine engineering issues including marine constructions, marine systems and operations.
• Knowledge of project and group work, individual and professional skills, motivation, organization and management.

Skills

The candidate must be able to;

• together with others, identify, define, model, develop and analyze complex technical, interdisciplinary and practical problems and systems, including sustainability challenges, within the marine engineering disciplines, as well as make justified choices of methods and solution methodology for the problem in question.
• design, develop and analyze systems, components and constructions linked to and based on the knowledge the candidate has acquired.
• plan and implement technological projects and tasks independently and in groups.
• carry out a technologically limited development project under supervision, in a group, in line with research ethical norms, and make an assessment of the project's contribution to sustainable development.
• utilize individual and professional skills for the development of leadership skills and management within typical engineering businesses and projects, for sustainable development

General competence

The candidate;

• can think and act creatively, critically, constructively and respectfully both individually and in groups and understand how innovation and entrepreneurship contribute to innovation and increased sustainability in society.
• must have the ability to find and critically assess relevant information for a problem.
• must be able to communicate and reflect both in writing and orally about own work.
• must have a holistic view of sustainable development and be able to assess the environmental, social, ethical and financial consequences of products, processes and systems within the marine technical subject area in a life cycle perspective.

Group work - multidisciplinary, with cross-cutting subgroups according to specialization discipline (hydrodynamics, structures, cybernetics, marine engineering, design and operations)

Lectures - physical and digital (preparation)

Industrial case assignment

Physical and digital lab

Presentation, flipped classroom

Compulsory assignments

• Compulsory attendance

• The student groups shall give two oral presentations of the project on specified dates set in accordance with the teaching plan.Students cannot choose digital attendance instead of physical attendance. The compulsory assignments must be approved before final work can be submitted for censorship. It is a prerequisite that the entire studentgroup attends in the compulsory assignments.
