The module covers topics related to operational / commercial requirements for the design of ships, ship
Synopsis design process, mathematical integration rules and the introduction to the terms and principles of basic
naval architecture calculations of ship strength and stability

To disseminate knowledge and provide competency on the design process, theory and calculation methods
Objectives relating to hull shape and the fundamentals of ship strength and stability

On completion of this module the student will be able to:

Learning 1. Recognize the essential elements of the ship design process
Outcomes 2. Interpret offsets data, lines plan drawings, hull shapes development and the parameters by which
they are defined
3. Apply the mathematical integration rules of calculation of areas, moments, volumes and centroids
of hull shapes
4. Recognize the basic terms and principles of ship strength
5. Recognize the basic terms and principles of ship stability
6. Recognize the principles of inclining experiment
7. Interpret the data presented in cross curves of stability and curves of static stability
