A08 – Integrated Ship Design Project
This course aims to set out the scope and methods of an integrated ship concept-design project, from design methods and the design task through hull form, resistance and propulsion, stability, freeboard and structure to cost and environmental impact, so you can see how each design aspect connects in one design brief.

Course overview
Designed for: engineering graduates looking for refresher courses in niche expert areas.
Entry requirements: an engineering degree or equivalent experience, plus an introductory knowledge of ship hydrostatics, resistance and propulsion, stability and structures; no CAD experience is needed.
Learning format: self-paced online lessons with audio read-out, a worked integrated-design example (weights and centre of gravity, power, stability, midship stress, cost and emissions), interactive tabs and flip cards, in-lesson checks, an AI tutor to answer questions as you go, and graded quizzes. This suits the aim because an integrated design only makes sense when the aspects are linked, so the worked example carries one concept ship through each check in turn.
