Ocean Wave Interaction with Ships and Offshore Energy Systems OpenCourseWare: A Free Grad-Level Ocean Engineering Course by MIT
Students taking part in 'Ocean Wave Interaction with Ships and Offshore Energy Systems' will learn how ocean waves interact with various offshore structures that include advanced marine vehicles and rigged platforms. Some of the topics discussed in this course include the evaluation of drift forces and the seakeeping of ships, offshore platforms and offshore vessels. A background in naval architecture and offshore engineering is required for successful completion of this course.
