Course Objective

The objective of this course is to teach fundamentals of automation system and modern control techniques in marine engineering to provide background:
For understanding operation of navigation; control systems of cruise, communication, main machine, heating, cooling, ventilation and air conditioning, power generation and distribution and deck machinery,
To determine the requirements of the control systems or units to integrate their designs,
To establish communicational and informative skills to collaborate in multidisciplinary projects with mechanical, electrical and electronics engineers and computer engineers.

Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit
