Course Objective

This course aims to give information on the basis of fishing vessel design and to develop a conceptual understanding. Elements of this conceptual understanding can be identified as;
- Underlying creative philosophy for the design processes,
- Strategic applications of the design process developed for the fishing vessels,
- Tactical approaches for the design of special-type of fishing vessels,
- Structural design principles and
- Role of classification societies.

Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit

1   To realize and to be able to apply the synthesis process in the design of fishing vessels,
2   To be able to utilize all calculations of naval architecture and marine engineering starting from preliminary design till application design,
3   To be aware of the national and international laws and rules effective in the design and construction/building of fishing vessels.
4   To understand the role of classification societies in the process of design and construction, and to be able to communicate with them by means of adequate terminology.

Recomended or Required Reading

Even though there is no course grade, presentations prepared by the instructor shall be distributed in the class in the same day. However, it shall improve the efficiency of the course when the student benefits from the sources below and sources he/she will reach by his/her own researches.
- Fishing boats of the World I,II,II, FAO Yayını
- Design of Small Fishing Vessels, FAO Yayını
- related journals
- Internet source,
- Data derived from field study

Planned Learning Activities and Teaching Methods

Course is planned as lecturing, project implementations and one mid-term exam and one final exam by which output is evaluated. Students shall find the opportunity to implement theoretical approaches by means of project work given in the beginning of the semester. Proactive contribution of the student is expected, thus required learning efficiency shall be obtained in this way.
