Course Synopsis:

This course covers Marine Engineering for commercial and naval ship designs.  The course will discuss the integration of marine engineering in the ship design cycle by covering the design development of main propulsion and ship service generating plants and auxiliary systems.  Specific topics include propulsion plant types and selection, prime mover types and selection, reduction gear and propulsor design, selection of ship service electric plant size, and auxiliary systems with emphasis on pump selection.

Mr. Prince received his B.S.E. in Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering from the University of Michigan in 1980.  His 27 years of experience in marine engineering covers early ship design studies to detailed design, system engineering analysis, and machinery modifications.  This experience covers U.S. Navy and commercial design, shipboard alterations, operational testing, and procurement specification development.  During his career, he has supported whole-ship design studies by performing or directing the design of main propulsion and ship service generating plants, and auxiliary systems.  Mr. Prince is member of SNAME, ASNE, ASME, The Society of Tribologists and Lubrication Engineers, and a Fellow of The Institute of Marine Engineering, Science and Technology.  He is Chairman of SNAME T&R Panel M-16 - Modernization of Propulsion Shafting Systems; a Co-Chairman of SNAME T&R Panel SD-7 - Marine Forensic, and a member of the SNAME-ASNE Joint Ship Design Committee.  He is a Professional Engineer in Maryland and Virginia and a Chartered Engineer through the Engineering Council of Great Britain.  He is employed as an Assistant Group Manager of the Engineer Services Group of Gibbs & Cox, Inc.
