Marine Propulsion Systems JEE500
Introduction
This unit equips students with an understanding of the design features, operation and operational characteristics of the prime movers used on board a variety of vessels. Students apply this knowledge to obtaining effective engineering design solutions for marine propulsion systems, so that they can meet their functional purposes within national and international statutory and regulatory frameworks.

Note
Please check that your computer meets the minimum System Requirements if you are attending via Distance/Off-Campus.
Units are offered in attending mode unless otherwise indicated (that is attendance is required at the campus identified). A unit identified as offered by distance, that is there is no requirement for attendance, is identified with a nominal enrolment campus. A unit offered to both attending students and by distance from the same campus is identified as having both modes of study.

Unit census dates currently displaying for 2024 are indicative and subject to change. Finalised census dates for 2024 will be available from the 1st October 2023. Note census date cutoff is 11.59pm AEST (AEDT during October to March).
Learning Outcomes
- Compare the design features and analyse the practical constraints of marine propulsion sub systems.
- Determine primary and secondary balance forces and critical torsional vibration frequencies of diesel engine propulsion systems.
- Investigate and appraise current developments in marine propulsion systems and components.
- Analyse and select propulsors, such as Wageningen B series propellers or water jets, to match vessel hull thrust requirements.
- Select ship’s propulsion systems, with due consideration to classification and statutory regulations.
