Aims
The applications of maritime engineering module aims to develop broad professional engineering skills in team work, experimentation, communication and peer review. This is through five technical applications which are underpinned by theory taught across the Stage 2 curriculum.
Outline Of Syllabus
A1 – Marine Engineering Laboratory – A guided laboratory session where small groups operate a water pump and a heat exchanger, extract data from the equipment and then analyse the experiment and data within an assessed technical report completed individually. This component provides an opportunity for practical application of marine engineering theory and the use of statistical methods to process experimental data. It develops practical skills and demonstrates the relevance of taught material in this subject.
A2 - Ship Flooding Laboratory – A guided laboratory where small groups set up a ship model in a water basin and create several flooding scenarios. Equivalent theoretical calculations are completed and submitted as a technical report individually or in pairs. The practical is based in the hydrodynamic laboratories and provides an opportunity for hands-on experience in the labs linking to theoretical principles of stability and flooding taught in Naval Architecture modules.
A3 - Structural Design, Make, Test – A small group design challenge activity. The practical utilises fundamental structural data to design a truss structure of minimum weight to support a specified load. This develops and demonstrates the practical application of material taught in Marine Structures modules. Students present their structural design in a design review and the designed structure is then fabricated and finally tested to destruction.
A4 – Propulsion Laboratory – A guided laboratory where small groups complete a propeller open water test in the cavitation tunnel. Equivalent theoretical calculations are completed and submitted as a technical report individually or in pairs. The practical is based in the cavitation tunnel at Blyth and links to theoretical material taught in Hydrodynamics modules. This component provides an opportunity for practical application of propeller theory and the use of statistical methods to process experimental data.
A5 - A set of 10 sessions in statistical methods to underpin the analyses in the practical laboratories, which are completed by students as independent learning.
Learning Outcomes
Intended Knowledge Outcomes
IKO1 – Identify the operation and characteristics of pumps and heat exchangers, comparing to their theoretical performance (C1, C2)
IKO2 – Explain the physics and theory of flooding within a ship, including the importance of subdivision and measurement of initial stability (C1, C2, C12)
IKO3 – Demonstrate and experience the challenges and uncertainties between a theoretical structural design and a practical fabrication of the structure including the importance of manufacturing quality, tolerances and safety factors. (C5, C6, C13)
IKO4 – Apply the physics and practicalities of open water propeller testing in a cavitation tunnel including the importance of experimental rigour, the treatment of uncertainty and the visualization of hydrodynamic phenomena such as cavitation (C1, C3)
IKO5 – Compare the differences between pure theory and practical application for systematic scientific methods, including data collection, recording and data analysis using statistical methods. (C2, C17)
Intended Skill Outcomes
ISO1 - Develop practical team work attributes including leadership, compromise, influence, problem solving and conflict resolution. (C16)
ISO2 – Apply and demonstrate taught material from other modules in practical scenarios (C7)
ISO3 – Communicate the results of experiments, observations and team work through writing, calculations, presentations and public speaking. (C17)
ISO4 – Develop experimental skills using large scale hydrodynamic laboratories (C12)
ISO5 – Demonstrate metalwork and fabrication skills in a workshop environment (C12)
ISO6 – Link statistical methods to data collected in practical experiments (C2)

Formative Assessments
Formative Assessment is an assessment which develops your skills in being assessed, allows for you to receive feedback, and prepares you for being assessed. However, it does not count to your final mark.
