This course is an introduction to the fundamental aspects of science and engineering necessary for exploring, observing, and utilizing the oceans. Hands-on projects focus on instrumentation in the marine environment and the design of ocean observatories for ocean monitoring and exploration. Topics include acoustics, sound speed and refraction, sounds generated by ships and marine animals, sonar systems and their principles of operation, hydrostatic behavior of floating and submerged bodies geared towards ocean vehicle design, stability of ocean vessels, and the application of instrumentation and electronics in the marine environment. Students work with sensor systems and deploy them in the field to gather and analyze real world data.

Description

A two-semester subject sequence (of which this is the first half) that demonstrates the design process through its application to a working model-scale ocean system. Emphasis is on carrying out the design and implementation of the system, including demonstration of its operation in the marine environment. Spring Term: Introduction to the design process and its application to ocean engineering. Design project with students developing system definition and completing its preliminary design. Students are instructed in the design process, embedded systems programming and interfacing techniques, sensors, actuators, and the control of marine systems. Communications skills are honed through written and oral reports and engineering ethics are discussed. Fall Term: Students work as a group to desig A two-semester subject sequence (of which this is the first half) that demonstrates the design process through its application to a working model-scale ocean system.

Description

The UB-110 sunk after attacking a merchant shipping convoy near Hartlepool in July 1918. It was then salvaged and transferred to Swan Hunter Wigham Richardson Ltd. Dry Docks (Wallsend), with an order to restore her to fighting state. The order cancelled following Armistice and she was scrapped thereafter. Date: November 1918 Taken from the Swan Hunter and Wigham Richardson Ltd. Shipbuilders Collection Reference no. DS.SWH/5/3/2/14/1/1 This photograph was selected by Sharon Melrose as part of the 'Uncovering Archives Photography' Workshop held at Tyne and Wear Museums and Archives in November 2012.

Description

'Panther' was built in 1884 for the Austro-Hungarian navy. She was the first ship to be built at Armstrong's Elswick shipyard. This photograph shows the launch, at which Armstrong himself was present. He is standing on the platform wearing a top next to the lady in the white blouse.
