The "Ocean System Design: A Systemic Approach" course offers an in-depth exploration of modern ocean system design, tailored to equip students with the skills needed to thrive in an industry undergoing digital and green transformation. This course covers essential areas such as renewable energy applications, carbon capture technologies, and autonomous systems in the ocean environment. Students will learn vital methodologies in designing robust ocean structures, focusing on strength, stability, and seakeeping, as well as systems thinking for complex ocean systems. The course culminates in a group project, where students apply their knowledge in a hands-on, collaborative design of integrated ocean systems. By the end of the course, students will have a comprehensive understanding of ocean system design, preparing them to meet the challenges of the evolving ocean industry.
This course is designed for students from diverse engineering and science backgrounds, including Ocean Engineering, Systems Engineering, Mechanical and Mechatronics Engineering, Oceanography, Petroleum Engineering, Aeronautic Engineering, Civil Engineering, and related fields. It is ideal for those who seek to deepen their understanding of ocean system design, particularly in the context of digital and green transformations.
A collaborative education program on Naval Architecture and Offshore Engineering are held together with 5 Brazilian and 4 Japanese universities using an online lecture system.
The program in 2024 will start on 7th October. The lectures are given in English.
