Marine Engineering 2B

This course builds upon the fundamental principles of electrical engineering, with a focus on the system design and applications in the marine industry. 

 It introduces the marine power plants, switchboard and distribution network design and calculation. 

Topics include power management system, cabling system, EMI/EMC considerations, lighting system, safety systems, marine navigation, communication, control and automation systems design onboard ship, process instrumentations, system interfacing, network integration techniques and classification and regulatory requirements. 

The course introduces current research works on marine electric propulsion and digital shipping technologies. Laboratory sessions will be included to allow the student to demonstrate the design of the electrical systems and analyse the simulations.  

Students are also required to demonstrate the marine electrical knowledge via project research, presentation and report.
