MSc Marine Engineering

University of Strathclyde

This course aims to provide students with the skills and knowledge required to model, simulate and then analyse the complex non-linear behaviour of an AMV using MATLAB/Simulink.

This module aims to provide students with an understanding of the general concepts, advantages and limitations of data-driven methods for naval and marine engineering applications.

This class aims to provide you with skills relating to the use of engineering practices in project management with particular respect to the effective and efficient use of resources.

You'll explore the entire process of structuring a risk problem, modelling it, supporting and communicating recommendations, both theoretically and in practice. Risk management is linked with decision analysis in so far as we explore decision-making under uncertainty and it has links with quantitative business analysis as we explore the use of statistics in understanding risk. However, the topic has some unique attributes such as risk communication and the role that experts play in risk assessment.

This class aims to offer you knowledge of advanced topics of vibrations, their measurement and troubleshooting in marine engineering systems; marine engineering systems of LNG carriers and operation.

This class provides you with an insight into ?marine? materials, their properties, failure and protection and an understanding of how degradation affects the life-cycle of marine and offshore structures. Particular emphasis is on inspection and assessment of inspection results, corrosion, fatigue and fracture of steels and the corrosion properties of high-strength and stainless alloy steels.

The aim of this hands-on class is to provide students with an understanding of the general concepts, advantages and limitations of computer-based system simulation. This is achieved by introducing concepts and methods used to mathematically model a wide range of marine systems and also to design and perform simulation studies on these systems using industry standard simulation software tools.

To provide an insight into the markets, economics and operational systems which are fundamental to the provision of waterborne transport.

The class aims to demonstrate how the principles and methods of risk analysis are undertaken and reflected in safety assessment. Risk analysis offers a variety of methods, tools and techniques that can be applied in solving problems covering the whole life cycle of a vessel (design, construction, operation and disposal) and, as such, this module will also elaborate on the practicalities of its application to a range of marine scenarios.

This class is split into two parts. Part one aims to provide you with knowledge and awareness of issues in marine environmental protection, environmentally-friendly shipping and international conventions and regulations of environmental protection and introduce the state of the art technology applied in the industry and future trends. Part two will provide you with knowledge of ship energy management systems and energy resources including the optimisation and integration of machinery and power systems in a sustainable manner.

This class aims to provide an insight into the qualitative and quantitative systems? reliability techniques as well as maintenance methodologies with particular emphasis to the maritime industry. The course will give students the ability to formulate, solve, report and present a comprehensive maintenance strategy based on the application of reliability and criticality analysis and assessment tools. The module will also provide students with an insight of the day-to-day operations of ships as well as explore and present features related to ships dry-dockings, inspection, repair and maintenance scheduling, regulatory regime as well as practical case studies on the above.
