Prof. Paul H. Miller's EN 247 - Principles of
Naval Architecture Course Webpage
Welcome to your first course in naval architecture! This course will
introduce you to some basic engineering principles, terminology, techniques,
skills and computer applications that naval architects use. Course topics
are directly applicable to the day-to-day activities in the profession. The
course touches most of the main skills used by naval architects today. Some
topics, such as stability, flotation and resistance are covered lightly as
you will explore these in more depth in later courses. Others, such as
construction, ethics and power plants you might not see again until you are
out in the “real world.” Materials and fluids are covered in other courses
completely. The overall goal of this course is to give you the basic skills
necessary to design a simple craft, and indeed, you will! Documents:
