MME 2105 Ship Design & Performance

Course description
Are you interested in designing new ships? If yes, then this course is perfect for you! It covers all the essential areas needed for preliminary estimates of new ships, such as determining the main dimensions, group weights, and capacities. You'll learn how to calculate approximate hydrostatic particulars, as well as analyze the types of ship resistance and speed. Additionally, you'll study the different types of power in ships, power coefficients, and preliminary design methods for a ship's propeller and rudder. Lastly, the course will teach you how to perform an economic analysis of ship design. Don't miss this opportunity to advance your knowledge and skills in ship design. Enroll now!
