the cooling load of a ship, perform simple design on air-conditioning
and mechanical ventilation ducting, heating system and prepare
working drawings for ducting layouts and related pipe work in
accordance to ISO standards and appropriate classification society
requirements.
Project
On completion of the module, students should be able to prepare
drawings and brief reports of the project work on offshore and
marine structure, mechanical piping, marine system, life safety and
fire fighting appliance system, electrical, control and communication
system and HVAC system of ships.
Life Skills Modules
Life skills in broad terms are the foundation skills and personal
qualities that an individual can transfer from one job setting to
another to manage and adapt to changes in technology and work
environments.
Electives (Course Specific)
