This course was originally offered in Course 13 (Department of Ocean Engineering) as 13.49. In 2005, ocean engineering subjects became part of Course 2 (Department of Mechanical Engineering), and this course was renumbered 2.154.
Lectures: 2 sessions / week, 1.5 hours / session
Grade is made up of two quizzes (30% each), regular homework (20%), and the term project (20%). Quizzes are open book; there will be no final exam. Weekly homework is to be completed individually.
