Course Objective

The basic principles of the ship's propulsion, electricity generation and auxiliary engines will be presented. Diesel, steam and gas turbines and their relative benefits, as well as the electrical and auxiliary systems used on the ship, are covered in the course. Additionally, the use of new generation propulsion systems and alternative energy sources on ships will be examined.

Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit

1   To gain a perspective on shipboard applications and the theory of conventional heat engine systems
2   To be able to implement different projects for ship propulsion and auxiliary energy systems
3   To be further trained on tools of how to undertake research and gain an insight on the design tools to be used in maritime field
4   To be able to demonstrate knowledge and understanding of performance characteristics of various types of marine engines
5   To be able to analyze the relationships between ship auxiliary systems
6   To be able to understand the function of the main engineering systems on a ship and to carry out design calculations relating to them
7   To have the knowledge to understand ship alternative fuels and environmentally friendly technologies
8   To assess the environmental impacts of ship propulsion systems
