OVERVIEW

The course in “Ship Drawing”, divided into the modules of “Ship Technical Drawing” and “Ship Geometry”.

The “Ship Technical Drawing” module illustrates the use of technical drawing in the industrial field and in particular in the naval and mechanical industries. It is the language that engineers use in order to define, detail and communicate their design and manufacturing choices. In accordance with its rules, defined by standardized conventions and methods of graphic representation, technical drawings contain manufacturing and testing information of machines and related mechanical components.

The “Ship Geometry” module illustrates the vessel as the aspect that characterises Naval and Nautical engineers with respect to other industrial fields. The course is devoted to giving the basic knowledge on naval architecture, including hull shape and hydrostatic computations.
