Description
This unit provides an introduction to issues influencing the design of maritime vessels, and to certain fundamental aspects of the rationale and engineering approach to marine design. The considerations essential in the determination of hull characteristics, general arrangement and requisite systems are also investigated. The unit goes on to explore the overall philosophy and techniques involved in the manufacture of ships and the context in which the processes are carried out. Students will also gain practical experience with commercial surface modelling software.
Learning Outcomes
On completion of this unit students should be able to:
- Demonstrate a basic knowledge of the regulatory, practical and economic constraints on ship design.
- Demonstrate knowledge of the integral processes within vessel production engineering and associated current technologies.
- Describe the concepts of ship production system design and the main hardware elements of shipyards.
- Develop a concept design based on an appraisal of operational requirements via a clearly structured and rational process.
- Produce a limited set of design drawings to industry standards.
Unit Content
- Build Strategy: Introduction to build strategy (design, engineering, material management, production and testing plan and its relationship with the shipbuilding policy).
- Design Process & Constraints: Design phases, spiral and iterations. Mission and client requirements. Regulatory constraints. The International Maritime Organization and its instruments.
- Design for Ship Production: Influences design has on production (costs, manhours, facility resources).
- Engineering for Ship Production: Use of production oriented techniques to communicate design & engineering data to and within the shipyard. Product work breakdown, group technology manufacturing, CAD/CAM. Accuracy control.
- Graphical Documentation: General arrangement, lines plans, structural and system schematic drawings. Industry standard and acceptable symbology.
- Hull Form: An introduction to hull form variants and their characteristics, applications and limitations.
- Introduction to Naval Architectural Software: 3D hull modelling software (e.g., Maxsurf) for hull modelling and internal divisions. Exchange of information between CAD software packages.
- Introduction to Prime Mover Options: Familiarisation with primary engine and propulsion train options and connotations for design. Marine fuels (classification and description).
- Introduction to Propulsor Options: Propulsor types, formats and their applications and limitations. Current commercial options.
- Introduction to Structural Systems: Introductory outline of framing configurations, structural components and their roles in both hull and superstructure. Introduction to Class rules and regulations for structural design.
- Introduction to the Shipbuilding Process (including shipyard layout): Introduction to class rules and their influence on ship production, building methods, ship productions terms. Ship yard facilities and layout, process lanes and material handling.
- Production Planning & Scheduling: Introduction to planning, scheduling and production control.
- Vessel Types & Design Drivers: Familiarisation with vessel types on the bases of operational role and their essential characteristics.

Disability Standards for Education (Commonwealth 2005)
For the purposes of considering a request for Reasonable Adjustments under the Disability Standards for Education (Commonwealth 2005), inherent requirements for this subject are articulated in the Unit Description, Learning Outcomes and Assessment Requirements of this entry. The University is dedicated to provide support to those with special requirements. Further details on the support for students with disabilities or medical conditions can be found at the Access and Inclusion website.
Academic Misconduct
Edith Cowan University has firm rules governing academic misconduct and there are substantial penalties that can be applied to students who are found in breach of these rules. Academic misconduct includes, but is not limited to:
- plagiarism;
- unauthorised collaboration;
- cheating in examinations;
- theft of other students' work;
Additionally, any material submitted for assessment purposes must be work that has not been submitted previously, by any person, for any other unit at ECU or elsewhere.
The ECU rules and policies governing all academic activities, including misconduct, can be accessed through the ECU website.
