Aim
The aim of the course is to develop basic skills in the application of engineering methods along with fundamental knowledge of ship engine systems, materials technology and drawing. After completing the course, the student in group should be able to solve mechanical engineering problems in a structured way, and be able to present the results both orally and in writing.Learning outcomes (after completion of the course the student should be able to)
