Abstract

The global pandemic placed enormous strain on teaching, both for staff and students. This was most keenly felt in group projects, such as the UCL postgraduate ship design exercise, the 2019-20 cohort facing intense disruption as they switched “modes” half-way through the year. Despite this, the students were able to develop some innovative designs to meet challenging requirements. This paper provides an overview of the main themes for the last two years, both in the requirements set by staff and particularly the design response, which has included aspects such as optional crewing and future fuels, concluding an update on recent and future developments in the course that are most relevant to naval design.
