Ships and Vessels Design (FSI-QLP)

Academic year 2021/2022
Supervisor: Ing. Přemysl Pokorný, Ph.D.  
Supervising institute: ÚADI all courses guaranted by this institute
Teaching language: Czech
Aims of the course unit:
The aim of the course is to acquaint students with the basics of design ships and other vessels. In particular, the foundations of their design in terms of shape and strength of hull, maneuverability, choosing equipment and marine propulsion. In addition, the course deals with ancillary equipment and ergonomics of the ships.
Learning outcomes and competences:
After graduation from the course students will gain certain knowledge of the basic types of construction of ships and vessels. Furthermore, the student will master basic design skills of the hull, propulsion system and equipment.
Prerequisites:
Before attending this course students are required to master the basics of physics, hydromechanics and parts of machinery and equipment.
Course contents:
The course is to acquaint students with the basics of building ships and vessels as well as basic concepts and methods of their design. These findings make a necessary foundation for practice in the field of shipbuilding. The course includes the following topics: Shipping and Types of Ships. Basic Parameters and Concepts. Methodology and Process of Ship Designing. Calculation of The Main Dimensions. Technical Vessels (dredgers, tugs, etc.). Hull Shape Designing. Propulsion Designing (motor, propulsive device). General Plan. Marine Equipment and Ancillary Equipment. Ship Ergonomics.
Teaching methods and criteria:
The course is taught through lectures explaining the basic principles and theory of the discipline. Exercises are focused on practical topics presented in lectures. Part of the course can be excursions to the companies, which manufacture or operate the equipments from the thematic area of education.
Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes:
Credit conditions: Active participation in exercises. Delivery of term essay on the subject in a required range. Essay rating of 50 points at least.

Classification of the student: ECTS
excellent (90-100 points),
very good (80-89 points),
good (70-79 points),
satisfactory (60-69 points),
sufficient (50-59 points),
fail (0-49 points).
Controlled participation in lessons:
Attendance at lectures is recommended, participation in exercises is obligatory. Teaching is being proceeded by weekly plan schedule. Determination of compensation for missed classwork is the responsibility of the exercise manager.
Type of course unit:
    Lecture  13 × 1 hrs. optionally
