Program description

Content
The Master Course „Naval Architecture and Ocean Engineering” prepares the graduates by solidifying their engineering, mathematical and natural
science skills for scientific tasks in naval architecture, ocean engineering and related mechanical engineering disciplines. The graduates possess a
critical awareness against new knowledge in their discipline, on which basis they are enabled to act responsible in their professional and societal
environment. As a result of the elective modules it is possible to specialize in the following six disciplines: ship design, ship structural design and
strength, fluid dynamics, ship machinery, ocean engineering as well as planning and production. Thus, the occupational orientation can either related to
the design of ships or offshore systems, or to more dedicated areas, such as hydrodynamics or strength of structures.

Career prospects
The Master course strengthens the engineering, mathematical and natural science knowledge gained during the Bachelor education and conveys
competences to solve problems in a systematic, scientific and independent fashion relevant for industry and research activities. The contents concern
analysis, design and implementation methods for Ships and Offshore systems. The individual selection of the elective modules allows for a certain
specialization while the mandatory courses secure a solid understanding of the general basics and in the related fields. Thereby the students are able to
adjust their study contents individually according to their personal preferences. Further, the solid knowledge of the general basics and knowledge in the
field related to the chosen specialisation allow for a broad professional expertise and thus a wide professional applicability. The graduates can take on
scientific tasks at universities or research institutes with the aim of a doctoral dissertation or find their way directly into the industry. As for the latter,
they may specialize in dedicated areas and with further experience and qualification they can take over leading roles.

Learning target
The graduates can analyse problems scientifically and solve them, even though they are not typical or only partially defined with conflicting objectives;
complex tasks can be solved by abstracting from on-going research and development activities in their discipline; innovative and new methods can be
used to find fundamental solutions; knowledge gaps can be identified and solutions can be proposed to overcome these gaps; theoretical and
experimental investigations can be planned and executed; results can be analysed critically and conclusions can be drawn; emerging technologies can
be analysed and reviewed. By doing so, they can classify knowledge from different disciplines systematically and thereby cope with complex problems.
Further, they are able to reflect on the non-technical aspects of their engineering tasks responsibly. They can expand on the knowledge gained and
develop further competences, also with the aim to succeed with a doctoral thesis. Consequently, the key skills from the preceding Bachelor education
relevant for practical engineering tasks will be expanded in this Master course.

Program structure
This master course is modularized and follows the university-wide standard course structure with course modules of six credit points. The Master course
combines the disciplines relevant for Naval Architecture and Ocean Engineering on the basis of the preceding Bachelor studies. Essential modules are
mandatory for all students to allow for an even skill level among graduates. Further, students are able to personalize their studies due to the wide range
of module options. The following modules comprise the mandatory core qualification with six credit points each:

Structural Analysis of Ships and Offshore Structures

Ship Vibration
Ship Safety
Seakeeping of Ships and Laboratory on Naval Architecture
Maritime Technology and Maritime Systems

The students further specialize by individually selecting six modules from the following options:

Numerical Methods in Ship Design

Port Logistics
High-Order FEM
Numerical Algorithms in Structural Mechanics
Computational Fluid Dynamics II
Computational Structural Dynamics
Marine Diesel Engine Plants
Ship propellers and cavitation
Special topics of ship structural design
Special Topics of Ship Propulsion and Hydrodynamics of High Speed Water Vehicles
Selected topics in Naval Architecture and Ocean Engineering (Open module with further topic selection)
Fatigue Strength of Ships and Offshore Structures
Arctic Technology
Innovative CFD Approaches
Manoeuvrability and Shallow Water Ship Hydrodynamics
Nonlinear Structural Analysis
Advanced Ship Design
Vibration Theory
Marine Auxiliaries

Additionally, the open module „Business & Management“ and „Nontechnical Elective Complementary Courses for Master“ with six credit points each is
mandatory. Finally, in addition to the master thesis, the students must complete a research project:

Research Project (12 credits)

Master Thesis (30 credits)

Educational Objectives After taking part successfully, students have reached the following learning results
Professional Competence
Knowledge The Nontechnical Academic Programms (NTA)

imparts skills that, in view of the TUHH’s training profile, professional engineering studies require but are not able to cover fully.
Self-reliance, self-management, collaboration and professional and personnel management competences. The department
implements these training objectives in its teaching architecture, in its teaching and learning arrangements, in teaching
areas and by means of teaching offerings in which students can qualify by opting for specific competences and a competence
level at the Bachelor’s or Master’s level. The teaching offerings are pooled in two different catalogues for nontechnical
complementary courses.

The Learning Architecture

consists of a cross-disciplinarily study offering. The centrally designed teaching offering ensures that courses in the nontechnical
academic programms follow the specific profiling of TUHH degree courses.

The learning architecture demands and trains independent educational planning as regards the individual development of
competences. It also provides orientation knowledge in the form of “profiles”.

The subjects that can be studied in parallel throughout the student’s entire study program - if need be, it can be studied in one to
two semesters. In view of the adaptation problems that individuals commonly face in their first semesters after making the
transition from school to university and in order to encourage individually planned semesters abroad, there is no obligation to
study these subjects in one or two specific semesters during the course of studies.

Teaching and Learning Arrangements

provide for students, separated into B.Sc. and M.Sc., to learn with and from each other across semesters. The challenge of dealing
with interdisciplinarity and a variety of stages of learning in courses are part of the learning architecture and are deliberately
encouraged in specific courses.

Fields of Teaching

are based on research findings from the academic disciplines cultural studies, social studies, arts, historical studies,
communication studies, migration studies and sustainability research, and from engineering didactics. In addition, from the winter
semester 2014/15 students on all Bachelor’s courses will have the opportunity to learn about business management and start-ups
in a goal-oriented way.

The fields of teaching are augmented by soft skills offers and a foreign language offer. Here, the focus is on encouraging goal-
oriented communication skills, e.g. the skills required by outgoing engineers in international and intercultural situations.

The Competence Level

of the courses offered in this area is different as regards the basic training objective in the Bachelor’s and Master’s fields. These
differences are reflected in the practical examples used, in content topics that refer to different professional application contexts,
and in the higher scientific and theoretical level of abstraction in the B.Sc.

This is also reflected in the different quality of soft skills, which relate to the different team positions and different group leadership
functions of Bachelor’s and Master’s graduates in their future working life.

Specialized Competence (Knowledge)

Students can

explain specialized areas in context of the relevant non-technical disciplines,

outline basic theories, categories, terminology, models, concepts or artistic techniques in the disciplines represented in the
learning area,
different specialist disciplines relate to their own discipline and differentiate it as well as make connections,
sketch the basic outlines of how scientific disciplines, paradigms, models, instruments, methods and forms of representation
in the specialized sciences are subject to individual and socio-cultural interpretation and historicity,
Can communicate in a foreign language in a manner appropriate to the subject.

Skills Professional Competence (Skills)

In selected sub-areas students can

apply basic and specific methods of the said scientific disciplines,

aquestion a specific technical phenomena, models, theories from the viewpoint of another, aforementioned specialist
discipline,
to handle simple and advanced questions in aforementioned scientific disciplines in a sucsessful manner,
justify their decisions on forms of organization and application in practical questions in contexts that go beyond the
technical relationship to the subject.

Content Port Logistics deals with the planning, control, execution and monitoring of material flows and the associated information flows in
the port system and its interfaces to numerous actors inside and outside the port area.

The extraordinary role of maritime transport in international trade requires very efficient ports. These must meet numerous
requirements in terms of economy, speed, safety and the environment. Against this background, the lecture Port Logistics deals
with the planning, control, execution and monitoring of material flows and the associated information flows in the port system and
its interfaces to numerous actors inside and outside the port area. The aim of the lecture Port Logistics is to convey an
understanding of structures and processes in ports. The focus will be on different types of terminals, their characteristical layouts
and the technical equipment used as well as the ongoing digitization and interaction of the players involved.

In addition, renowned guest speakers from science and practice will be regularly invited to discuss some lecture-relevant topics
from alternative perspectives.

The following contents will be conveyed in the lectures:

Instruction of structures and processes in the port

Planning, control, implementation and monitoring of material and information flows in the port
Fundamentals of different terminals, characteristical layouts and the technical equipment used
Handling of current issues in port logistics

Master thesis

Educational Aim

The aim of the individual master thesis is to develop the student’s project development skills and to combine many of the aspects learned during other
modules within a specific topic and a coherent body of work. This will be achieved through students carrying out work into a particular topic relating to
their theme and preparing a master thesis.

Learning Outcomes

On completion of the thesis the student is expected to be able to

LO1 Plan and execute an individual project in an appropriate field of study.

LO2 Carry out an in depth investigation of a leading edge topic.

LO3 Prepare, analyse and document project findings.

Syllabus

The individual master thesis is a major exercise undertaken throughout the period of study.

The student will investigate a relevant and agreed topic, adhering to a defined schedule, with the findings being documented in a master thesis.

The thesis may be undertaken in any institute with approval, or wholly in industry.
