-The multi-disciplinary nature of the ship design process
- The ship design problem and contemporary influences on ship design
- Ship design methods for deadweight, capacity linear and rule ships
-Design considerations related to the type of cargo and operation of the
vessel
-Hull form design and hydrodynamic optimization for sustainable
operation

parameters, light ship and deadweight components
-Synthesis of hull lines, form distortion methods and mathematical representation of ship
lines and surfaces
-The relationship between hull form and ship performance
-The hydrodynamic influences on hull lines in still water and waves
-Optimization methods
-Design for seakeeping
-Understanding the design process through the attendant coursework
-Appreciation of load prediction and structural design on the ship design process
