During the lectures of Marine Engineering A will be illustrated the principles of operations and the design techniques for both marine propulsion plants and auxiliary systems. The rules leading the certification process will be analyzed with some practical examples.
The course aims at providing students with the tools for a qualified design, from a technical standpoint and legal , facilities related to the propulsion of ships .
The course aims to provide students with the tools for a qualified design, from the technical and regulatory point of view, of the propulsion system and auxiliary systems of pleasure boats. At the end of the course, the students will have the knowledge to preliminarily design a propulsion plant for a pleasure boat, and some of its auxiliary systems, respecting the regulations in force.
Basic knowledge of physics, thermodynamics and hydrodynamics. Basic knowledge of the principles of naval architecture.
Classroom lectures and exercises, Industry expert workshops and educational visits.

The exam involves a written test, a sufficicient grade is essential for admission to the oral examination. The written test will consist of a numerical exercise, a theory question and an systems drawing. The oral exam will consist of open questions. The exam is considered successfully pass if both tests are sufficient. The final grade will be the average of the written and oral grades. Online registration for exams is required, the appeals calendar is available on www.unige.it. There are no extraordinary exam appeals.
The written exam will verify the effective understanding of the topics discussed and the ability to independently design a generic propulsion plant or systems. During the oral examination the quality of the exposure, the correct use of the specialized vocabulary, the capacity for critical reasoning on the topics covered during the module will be evaluated.
