GEM 211 - Ship Geometry

Course Objectives

1. To teach students perspective geometry of ships and to establish the engineering drawings of different
views in 2-D.
2. To give various aspects of ship geometry and projection onto different planes and drawing techniques
3. To teach to visualize ships in 3D and create 2D drawings from them.
