The Ship as a City: The Use of Standards to Design, Build, and Operate Marine Vehicles

The Webb Institute, in collaboration with the United States Coast Guard Academy and the American Bureau of Shipping, will create a 10-hour course on multiple topics related to marine industry standards such as standards for the design, construction, and operation of commercial and military marine vehicles; why and how standards are developed in the maritime industry; national and international maritime regulations; standards for emerging technologies; and more. The course material can be used for capstone projects and incorporated into undergraduate and graduate curriculum for marine and ocean engineering, naval architecture and engineering, and marine transportation.
