Educational objectives (expertise) Students will adopt special knowledge and skills to design ship and offshore structures. The scantlings of different structural components have to be determined and dimensioned for a save and economic design. Here, different designs and structural details are taken into account. Furthermore, the relationship between the structural design process and structural analysis methods will be presented. This is required for a goal-oriented construction of ship and offshore structures and also applicable to many other engineering disciplines.
