Course overview

This course extends conceptual and practical understanding from the introductory course - ENGIX501 Principles of Submarine Design - by expanding on a number and complexity of submarine systems, exploring specific technology areas in submarine systems design, as well as submarine building techniques and maintenance aspects (logistic engineering).

  • Submarine Design Fundamentals and Naval Architecture
  • Platform Systems Integration & Human Factors
  • Combat Systems and Lifecycle Support

Course learning outcomes

  • Differentiate current classes of submarines and their design philosophies
  • Explain the design-to-build approach in the context of submarines and their systems
  • Examine the different platform and combat systems in a submarine
  • Evaluate a proposed optimal pathway for transitioning from an existing submarine baseline to a new specified capability
  • Assess the design feasibility of a submarine and its seaworthiness
  • Develop a submarine concept design from top level requirements

Prerequisite(s)
