Reeds Vol 4: Naval Architecture for Marine Engineers covers the
theoretical, fundamental aspects of vessel design for students preparing
for the Class 2 and Class 1 Marine Engineer Officer exams. It introduces
the basic foundation themes within naval architecture--hydrostatics,
stability, resistance, and powering--using worked examples to show how
solutions should be presented for an exam. The topics are presented as a
typical teaching module, to aid the use of the book by lecturers as a
compliment to a course.
This updated edition contains text and figures in line with modern
practice, including many of the figures as 3D diagrams, and a new
section on computer software for naval architecture. Naval Architecture
for Marine Engineers also includes sample examination questions with
worked examples answers to aid students in their learning.
