Design of Marine Machinery Systems unit (JEE623)

Introduction

This unit equips students with an understanding of the functional purpose of the machinery systems used on board a variety of ships. Students apply this knowledge to obtain effective engineering design solutions for these systems, so that they can meet their functional purposes within national and international statutory and regulatory frameworks.
