The unit is designed to develop knowledge and skills in research oriented towards marine science. Students will be taught how to work collaboratively in groups and then will prepare a research plan, present an introductory seminar, then conduct a group research program over a period of one semester. Finally, students will present a seminar and produce a short individual research report and...

In this unit, as part of the Masters of Chemistry's theoretical component, you will identify challenges in the chemistry domain, specifically within synthetic or analytical/environmental chemistry, and devise a comprehensive research plan. The course emphasizes regular oral presentations detailing progress, culminating in a formal scientific presentation, all while establishing and adhering to...

This unit will look at the creation and use of 2- and 3-dimensional graphical information and animations. The mathematical and algorithmic techniques used in generating computer graphics will be covered, as well as the programming methods to build the tools needed to implement them. Topics will include 2D drawing algorithms, matrix transformations, 3D representations, key-frames and other...

The Internet of Things (IoT) is a rising set of technologies that provides access to a large quantity of data through sensors. Such devices are ubiquitous today in industrial processes, vehicles, robots, environmental monitoring, farms, hospitals, and on our personal item such as phones. IoT enables users to visualise, monitor, analyse and predict aspects of their environments that would...

This unit is specifically designed for science and engineering graduates requiring a rigorous applied and functional knowledge of signal conditioning and data acquisition appropriate for experiments carried out in the maritime field. The subject matter has been designed around the specific problems encountered using the suite of testing facilities of the National Centre for Maritime Engineering...

The unit covers the structure, functioning and dynamics of marine ecosystems through a modelling approach. This knowledge of and approach to studying marine ecosystems is fundamental to informed management of marine natural resources, marine conservation, and assessment of the health, functioning and sustainability of marine systems. The unit will emphasise why modelling of marine ecosystems is...

Partial differential equations (PDEs) are arise in many areas of applied mathematics; whenever a problem changes continuously in space and in time as, for example, in fluid flow or a description of the spread of a virus, PDEs are inevitably required to describe the system. In general PDEs are very hard to solve analytically, but there are a number of equations that recur often and for which...

This unit introduces the ocean environment and the role of maritime engineers in the design of maritime infrastructure. The unit covers essential elementary knowledge of marine sciences, types of marine crafts and maritime structures, marine systems, and ocean renewable energy technology. This unit will provide future maritime engineers with the core understanding required for the application of...

To provide the student with the skills and knowledge required to take charge of a survival craft or rescue boat in emergency situations. ...
