Learning Activities Summary
This Course builds on the broad overview provided in the Introductory Course, providing more depth on design integration aspects and those whole ship design requirements such as shock, noise, vibration, signature management.

A significant aspect of the Course is to demonstrate design integration by applying the knowledge gained to a practical case study.

- Infra red signature – exhaust gas emissions
- Magnetic signature
- Underwater noise signature
SHOCK
- Underwater shock event
- Shock response Spectra (SRS)
- Equipment categories
- Equipment location
- Shock standards
- Shock testing
- Shock analysis
- Shock mounting
- Shock design considerations
NOISE AND VIBRATION
- Compartment noise
- Equipment noise
- Structure borne noise
- Noise level standards
- Ship vibration
- Equipment vibration
- Torsional vibrations
- Vibration standards
- Vibration testing
DESIGN INTEGRATION
- Requirements Management
- Impact Statements
- Interface Management
- Safety Management
- Design Engineering
- Integrated Logistic Support
- Test & Evaluation
HUMAN FACTORS
- Operational performance
- Perception
- Operational environment
- Human Machine Interface
SUBMARINE THREATS
- Case Studies
PLATFORM CONTROL SYSTEMS
- Design layouts
- Conventions
- Standards
SAFETY CRITICAL SYSTEMS
- Key Hazards
- Safety Controls
DESIGN FOR SUPPORTABILITY

MECHANICAL SYSTEMS
- Fuel handling and storage system
- Hydraulic system
- Cooling system
- HVAC systems
- Compressed air systems
PROJECT (20%)

The Project will involve the integration of sub-components into modules and modules into a naval platform. This Project will reflect the reality of system integration and it will be structured in a manner to assess students on an individual and team basis. The Project will form a significant element of the Course requiring students to draw on previous course material and researching allocated aspects of the design.
Specific Course Requirements

NONE

The University's policy on Assessment for Coursework Programs is based on the following four principles:

Assessment must encourage and reinforce learning.
Assessment must enable robust and fair judgements about student performance.
Assessment practices must be fair and equitable to students and give them the opportunity to demonstrate what they have learned.
Assessment must maintain academic standards.

Assessment Summary

Assessment Task	Weighting (%)	Individual/ Group	Formative/ Summative	Due (week)*	Hurdle criteria	Learning outcomes
Exam	40				Min 50%
Project	60				Min 50%
Total	100

* The specific due date for each assessment task will be available on MyUni.

This assessment breakdown complies with the University's Assessment for Coursework Programs Policy.

This course has a hurdle requirement. Meeting the specified hurdle criteria is a requirement for passing the course.

Student Feedback

The University places a high priority on approaches to learning and teaching that enhance the student experience. Feedback is sought from students in a variety of ways including on-going engagement with staff, the use of online discussion boards and the use of Student Experience of Learning and Teaching (SELT) surveys as well as GOS surveys and Program reviews.

SELTs are an important source of information to inform individual teaching practice, decisions about teaching duties, and course and program curriculum design. They enable the University to assess how effectively its learning environments and teaching practices facilitate student engagement and learning outcomes. Under the current SELT Policy (http://www.adelaide.edu.au/policies/101/) course SELTs are mandated and must be conducted at the conclusion of each term/semester/trimester for every course offering. Feedback on issues raised through course SELT surveys is made available to enrolled students through various resources (e.g. MyUni). In addition aggregated course SELT data is available.

Fraud Awareness

Students are reminded that in order to maintain the academic integrity of all programs and courses, the university has a zero-tolerance approach to students offering money or significant value goods or services to any staff member who is involved in their teaching or assessment. Students offering lecturers or tutors or professional staff anything more than a small token of appreciation is totally unacceptable, in any circumstances. Staff members are obliged to report all such incidents to their supervisor/manager, who will refer them for action under the university's student’s disciplinary procedures.

The University of Adelaide is committed to regular reviews of the courses and programs it offers to students. The University of Adelaide therefore reserves the right to discontinue or vary programs and courses without notice. Please read the important information contained in the disclaimer.
