Prof. Paul H. Miller's EN471/EN476 - Ship
Design Class Web Page
These two capstone courses tie
together all the courses covered in the engineering studies as a naval
architecture student. In the fall semester course each student performs the
preliminary design of a vessel in response to a loose Mission Statement
provided by the professor. This will include the development of hull lines,
arrangements, electrical, piping, powering and auxiliary systems. The
"final exam" will be the submission of a design notebook and
drawings detailing your design! Also starting in the fall
semester, but carrying through the spring semester, students form into teams
of three or four and develop a design to meet their own Mission Statement.
The design must be complex enough to demonstrate understanding of the basic
systems inherent in ship design and tank testing of a model is required.
Previous designs have included: patrol boats, motor yachts, tugs, fishing
vessels, sailing vessels, special operations vessels, ferries, excursion
boats and a submarine. Documents:

Sample Drawings: You can use these as examples of professional quality
drawings. Yours should be this good! These drawings are from the RFP for the
new Navy 44 and are in DWF format. You can download
the DWF viewer from AutoCad.
