Projects in Naval Ship Conversion Design
CDR Timothy J. McCoy, Capt. Patrick J. Keenan
Schedule: TBD
Pre-register on WebSIS and attend first class.
No listeners
Prereq: 2.703
Level: H 6 units Standard A - F Grading
Focus on conversion design of a naval ship. A new mission requirement is defined, requiring significant modification to an existing ship. Requirements setting, design plan formulation, design philosophy and formal decision making methods are used. Technical aspects demonstrate feasibility and desirability. Formal written and verbal reports. Team projects.

This course teaches the fundamental steps in traditional boat design and will demonstrate the connections between old and modern methods. Students will be given general design parameters to carve a vessel hull in the form of a wooden half-hull model. Expert instruction will teach you the traditional skills of visualizing and shaping a desired form in the model making phase of the class. After the models are completed a practicing naval architect will guide students in translating shape from models into a basic lines plan. The final phase of the class will be a comparative analysis of the designs generated by the group. The course provides a hands-on understanding of how computer-aided design accelerates the design process.
Sponsors: MIT Museum, Mechanical Engineering, Center for Ocean Engineering and Department of Architecture.
