CODE 65942 ACADEMIC YEAR 2024/2025 CREDITS 6 cfu anno 3 INGEGNERIA NAVALE 8722 (L-9) - GENOVA SCIENTIFIC DISCIPLINARY SECTOR ING-IND/02 LANGUAGE Italian (English on demand) TEACHING LOCATION GENOVA SEMESTER 1° Semester TEACHING MATERIALS AULAWEB OVERVIEW The course provides an in-depth overview of shipbuilding, analyzing the dynamics and structures of Italian and international shipyards. Through lectures and educational visits, students gain knowledge of organization, technologies, and innovations in the field, with some focus on mega yacht. AIMS AND CONTENT LEARNING OUTCOMES Knowledge of shipyard organisation and of the technologies adopted in the various shipyard workshops. AIMS AND LEARNING OUTCOMES The course aims to provide students with an in-depth understanding of the main activities, structures, and technologies involved in shipyard operations, covering both traditional shipbuilding and modern production processes, including the leisure boating sector. Special focus is given to shipyard organization, logistics, production cycles, and the economic and managerial dynamics of the industry. As part of the course, students will also take part in a teamwork activity, where they will be divided into groups and asked to tackle real-world shipbuilding challenges. This experience is designed to enhance their practical problem-solving skills and teamwork abilities in a professional context. By the end of the course, students will be able to: describe the main stages of the ship construction process across different types of shipyards (naval, commercial, recreational); identify the main structures and functional areas of a shipyard and understand their role in the production flow; understand and compare different organizational and managerial models in Italian and international shipyards; analyze logistics flows and the interaction between design, procurement, production, and outfitting phases; work collaboratively on real-world cases, proposing practical solutions to critical issues within shipyard operations; effectively communicate technical and managerial concepts using appropriate sector-specific terminology; develop awareness of safety, environmental sustainability, and innovation issues as applied to shipbuilding production contexts PREREQUISITES There are no specific requirements TEACHING METHODS The teaching methods of the course include classroom lectures, during which students will have the opportunity to receive direct instruction from the teachers. Additionally, educational visits are planned, which will allow students to learn through practical experiences and field observations, providing a more concrete and applied approach to the topics covered in the lectures. Students with valid certifications for Specific Learning Disorders (SLDs), disabilities or other educational needs are invited to contact the teacher and the School's disability liaison at the beginning of teaching to agree on possible teaching arrangements that, while respecting the teaching objectives, take into account individual learning patterns.

The first question will be of a general aspect, focusing on the economic, financial, and market elements associated with the shipbuilding industry. The second question will require a detailed description of a workshop within the shipyard, including an analysis of the machinery and technologies used within it. Finally, the third question will be about a specific technology used in the industry. ASSESSMENT METHODS The exam aims to certify the achievement of the expected learning outcomes in terms of knowledge and understanding, verifying the students' ability to analyze in detail the design and management of a shipyard, as well as the organization of the various workshops with particular attention to the plants and technologies used. The exam will also assess the ability to identify innovative solutions in the context of the shipyard and critically evaluate their impact on production and the quality of the final results. Finally, the ability to express oneself clearly and precisely on the topics covered will be verified, demonstrating a thorough understanding and effective communication skills. Therefore, the exam will verify the students' ability to critically analyze and solve problems related to the design, management, and innovation of shipyards, demonstrating competence and mastery of the technical language of the field.
