1.
Overview.
This
course is designed to introduce the student to the principles of the design,
construction, and propulsion of ships. It includes the analysis of ship
stability and thermodynamic cycles, and it provides an introduction to ship main
propulsion and auxiliary systems.
2.
Course Requirements
-
The reading assignments for each lecture are
defined on the course syllabus. Reading assignments shall be completed
prior to the scheduled class session to supplement the concepts presented
during the lecture and to enable the student to raise relevant questions.
-
Problem sets will be assigned periodically throughout the semester.
Problem sets are due at the beginning of the next scheduled class period.
Late homework will be penalized (10 points per day). Homework may be sent
via email as an attachment to accommodate those students enrolled through cross
town universities.
-
Periodically throughout the semester, we will discuss ethical issues that
pertain to the division officer. If you would like to share a particular
experience, have questions from a summer cruise assignment, or are
interested in a specific ethical issue relating to the role of a division
officer, please identify the topic and I'll do my best to incorporate it into
the course curriculum.
3.
Attendance Policy.
In
order to develop a proper understanding of Naval Ship Systems and Engineering, it
is paramount that you attend and participate in each lecture to
supplement the text material. Therefore,
attendance is mandatory. Absences
may be excused only if arranged in advance and only on a case by case basis. Tardiness to class will not be tolerated.
4.
Homework and Quizzes.
Homework generally consists of assigned readings, which are to be
completed prior to the next class. The
completion of all assignments is mandatory.
Unannounced quizzes will be given and will cover either the required
reading for the day's lesson or a salient point from a recent lecture (or both).
There will be no make-ups for missed quizzes unless I am notified before
class (please see attendance policy above).
5.
Exams.
I will
conduct an exam review before each exam. Typically,
these will be conducted during the class period prior to the scheduled exam date in a Question and Answer
format.
6.
Classroom Etiquette.
Food and beverages are allowed in the classroom,
as long as you are discreet. You are expected pick up after yourselves and maintain the classroom
in superb condition.
7.
Texts.
Texts will be provided on a loan basis. You
must return all books at the end of the semester in order to receive credit
for completing the course. The
following books will be referenced for this course, and Introduction to
Naval Engineering will be distributed:
