The Maritime Technology division offers education in ships and marine technology. The objective is the formation of M. Sc. engineers having a specialist know-how in the design, construction, drive, operation and operating of maritime systems including ships and offshore installations.
We endeavour to train the students in the calculation and construction issues relating to large steel constructions and to offer them a thorough knowledge of the hydrostatics and hydrodynamics of floating and navigating objects.
Podcast
Together with Urgent FM we made a podcast about the Maritime Technology Division. Podcast is in Dutch (Nederlands) and available on Spotify.
Construction and design of ships and other floating structures
The courses in the field of maritime constructions deal with various aspects of ships and other marine structures:
- functions and general view of ship types and offshore constructions;
- general arrangement of a ship;
- function and constructive design of the hull parts;
- strength and constructive design of the whole ship hull;
- freeboard assessment and tonnage measurement;
- shipyard practice;
Lectures concerning the construction of ships:
- Introduction to Maritime Technology
- General Arrangement, Structural Arrangements and Construction of Marine Structures
Second master of electromechanical engineering, main subject: maritime engineering
A lot of our students do an internship in the summertime between first and second master year. So did Emiel.
Master of civil engineering, major Dredging & Offshore Engineering
Behaviour of floating constructions in water
The lectures on Maritime hydrostatics and hydrodynamics give an overview of the static and dynamic behaviour of marine structures:
- equilibrium, stability, damage calculations;
- resistance and propulsion;
- ship manoeuvring;
- wave response;
First master of electromechanical engineering, main subject: maritime engineering
Second master of electromechanical engineering, main subject: maritime engineering
Master of civil engineering, major Dredging & Offshore Engineering
Elective course
Acquire theoretical insight into the behaviour of ships in shallow and confined waters such as access channels, canals and harbours, and introduction to common methods for treating related problems.
An introduction to the research topics is mentioned on this site.
