2. Course Topics and Description
This course present a method for basic design of ship and offshore plant. Owner’s requirements, determination of principal dimensions, determination of main engine and propeller, hull form design, general arrangement design, structural design, and so on are presented, and application examples to actual ships are also presented to maximize understanding of students. In addition, optimization technique which is one of creative methods for design is presented. Finally, students perform a term project of basic design of actual ship or offshore plant. Through this course, the students will learn a basis for creative design method of ship and offshore plant and a basis for design method of creative ship and offshore plant in the future.

(1) Procedures and methods of the basic design of ship: Determination of ship’s principal dimensions, Estimation of weight, Estimation of cargo hold volume, Calculation of freeboard, Prediction of resistance, speed, and power, Determination of propeller’s principal dimensions, Selection of main engine, Hull form design by hull form variation method, General arrangement design, Structural design

(2) Procedures and methods of the basic design of offshore plant: Overview of topsides process FEED(Front-End Engineering Design) of offshore plant, Determination of operating conditions of topsides system, Weight estimation of topsides system, Topsides layout

(3) “Optimization technique” as one of innovative design technologies for ship and offshore plant: Introduction to optimum design, Optimization technique, Its applications to ship and offshore plant design

(4) Students have to work in team, consisting of 4 to 5 students, on two term projects for given owner’s requirements. The 1st term project is a conceptual design of a container ship based on the given basis container ship and is obligatory for all students. After completing the conceptual design, students can then either join the “Ship Design Contest (Free Theme)” or continue their 1st term project and start the 2nd term project handling the basic design of the container ship. The teams who are participating in the ship design contest will be favored in their grading.

5. Grade Computation
Weighted system is as follows:
- Two Exams: 40%
- Term Project: 50%
- Attendance: 10%
In case of an excused absence, the student must make-up any missed test, quiz or homework the following day during a free period, before or after school. Unexcused absences will result in a zero.
