Learning Objectives

Upon successful completion of this course, participants will be able to:

1. Introduction to Marine Engineering Drawing

• Understand the role of engineering drawings in ship design and maintenance.
• Identify marine drawing types:
• General arrangement (GA) drawings.
• Structural and hull drawings.
• Machinery layout and piping diagrams.
• Electrical and control system schematics.
• Learn about drawing conventions, symbols, and scaling.

2. Fundamentals of Technical Drawing and Drafting Standards

• Apply orthographic projections (front, top, and side views).
• Use sectional views and dimensioning techniques.
• Follow ISO, IMO, and classification society (ABS, Lloyd’s Register, DNV-GL) standards for marine drawings.

3. Ship Structural Drawings and Hull Design

• Interpret ship hull lines, frames, and bulkhead arrangements.
• Analyze keel, deck, superstructure, and foundation drawings.
• Understand welding symbols, plate thickness specifications, and structural reinforcements.

4. Marine Machinery and Piping System Drawings

• Read and interpret engine room layouts and propulsion system schematics.
• Develop piping and instrumentation diagrams (P&ID) for fluid systems.
• Identify valves, pumps, heat exchangers, and auxiliary systems in marine blueprints.

5. Electrical and Control System Drawings

• Understand shipboard electrical circuit diagrams and single-line schematics.
• Interpret wiring layouts for lighting, navigation, and automation systems.
• Use block diagrams and logic control symbols for marine automation.

6. Computer-Aided Design (CAD) in Marine Engineering

• Use AutoCAD, Rhino, ShipConstructor, or SolidWorks for marine drawings.
• Create 3D ship models and system schematics.
• Convert 2D blueprints into digital CAD representations.

7. Classification Society and Regulatory Requirements

• Ensure compliance with IMO, SOLAS, MARPOL, and classification rules.
• Understand documentation requirements for ship registration and approvals.
• Apply technical drawing standards for ship construction and modifications.

8. Case Studies and Practical Applications

• Analyze real-world marine engineering drawings and ship design challenges.
• Participate in hand-drawing and CAD-based design exercises.
• Develop a complete marine engineering drawing package for a vessel or marine system.
