This course aims to provide you with a basic understanding of naval architecture and marine 
engineering principles and practice. The course will be taught in the context of a ship system that 
operates in a harsh sea environment in fulfilling its design function. Hence, for naval architecture, a 
basic understanding of a ship’s hull form, stability and overall structural strength and the powering 
requirements in order to fulfill its functions are addressed.
On the marine engineering portion of the subject, you will be introduced to main machinery systems 
and electrical systems that enable a ship to be operated, focusing on ship propulsion and main 
engine systems, and the support services that make the ship habitable.
