Maritime Design unit (JEE603)

Introduction

This unit explores the comprehensive design process for maritime structures and systems, covering various approaches such as the design spiral, set-based design, and the principle of least commitment. Students will learn about the phases of design, including project planning and design driver identification and engineering decision-making models. The unit includes initial parameter estimation, and considerations for general arrangement and spatial planning. Emphasis is placed on human factors in ship design, regulatory requirements, and engineering ethics. Additionally, the unit covers shipyard design and practices, maritime construction, and shipyard production and installation, providing a holistic understanding of the maritime design and construction process.
