Applied Mechanics JNE238
Launceston
Introduction
The purpose of this unit is to provide students with an understanding of the principles of mechanics relating to marine power plant and associated structures and systems required by the Engineering Watch-keeper involved in operating such a plant.
This unit lays the foundation for Marine Engineers at operational level to comprehend principles of Applied Mechanics that will enable them to apply and manage these functions at Watch-keeping Engineer level.
This unit meet the requirements for knowledge, understanding and proficiency set out by the Maritime Training Package MAR50120, the STCW 2010 (Manila Amendments) and Table A-III/1 of the STCW code.
