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