Italy is among European countries having the leadership for the design and construction of ships especially characterized by high value and high technology density. The course provides knowledge on a systemic perspective allowing the successful decision making process necessary during the ship design procedure
To carry out the synthesis among the mail technical subjects characterizing the ship design
develop the adequate requirements analysis for the selection of the appropriate solution
acquire the competences to balance the several needs, possibly conflicting, arising during the ship design
compare different possible solutions with reference to suitable criteria
lectures in classroom;
open discussion on selected topics;
application on practical cases.

Oral test: two open questions about topics developed and discussed in classroom during the semester.
Questions are aimed to assess the capability of the students to discuss about theorethical and practical aspects of ship design.
Specific attention will be given to the capability of indicating the basic assuptions together with the input data, the target of the procedure and its rational developement.
