Instruction language EN Course content The lessons are taught in English.

In the first part, we study the basics of the strength of materials in order to understand the concept of internal stress in a material and the different types of stress with their particularities. The link between these stresses and loads applied on the structure of a ship is then shown. The various complex loads will be analyzed and presented in detail to the students. The course continues with important concepts of materials used in the manufacture of ships and mainly related to their production, their structure and the different types of resistance tests. All this information will be linked with the rules laid down by Classification Societies. The second part of the course allows the students to familiarize themselves with the various structural elements of a ship and their contribution to the overall strength of it. It begins with an introduction of different types of ships, different building systems, and the particularities associated with the propulsion systems. Then, this part continues with a description of the concepts and terminology describing the hull and the capacities of a ship. It also touches on various welding techniques, the known most errors and their causes and symptoms. The third part is dedicated to the presentation of classification societies and national authorities in shipbuilding and maintenance. Their role, as well as different types of inspections and delivered certificates will be announced. Finally, an introduction is given on some important onboard machines: the controllable pitch propeller, the steering gear, the propeller fixation, the stern tube. General knowledge of the principal structural members of a ship and proper names for the various parts.

Instruction language NL/FR Course content The lingua franca in the nautical world is English. Therefore the goal of the

Maritime English course is a good mastery of the English language, both spoken and written. The theoretical part focuses on reading skills, in particular on non-fiction texts and articles that are related to the maritime world. Furthermore, the students acquire a number of specific skills, such as the use of the Standard Marine Communication Phrases (SMCP). Communication skills and grammatical topics, structures and problems are functionally integrated in the course. Practising both productive and receptive language skills should stimulate the students' self-motivation and home study. The basic aim of the theoretical part is to systematically enlarge the students' passive and active knowledge of maritime English. Special attention is paid to nautical terminology. The practical exercises form an integral part of the Maritime English course and focus on conversational English and speaking skills. Special attention is paid to typically nautical linguistic topics, to a correct pronunciation, and to idioms. In these practical exercises essential points of English grammar are treated and practised. The practical exercises are based on 'English for Seafarers - Study Pack 2' (Units 1-5). Following the communicative approach, the exercises are made in small groups.


Specific job-related competences The student develops: - the ability to use the English language fluently and professionally and to communicate effectively in English for both maritime and general purposes; - the required knowledge, understanding and proficiency in English as required by and set out in the STCW 1995 Code (cf. also the English language guidelines of

47

Part B-VI/1 of the STCW 95 Code) and Table A-II/1Minimum standard of competence for officers in charge of a navigational watch on ships of 500 gross tonnage or more of the Manila Amendments 2010; - the essential professional vocabulary (technical terminology) for maritime/nautical purposes. The student is able: - to use selected topics from the Standard Marine Communication Phrases (Parts A) as required by the STCW 1995 Code and Table A-II/1Minimum standard of competence for officers in charge of a navigational watch on ships of 500 gross tonnage or more of the Manila Amendments 2010. General job-related competences AB1.1 : The student develops sense for teamwork AB1.5 : The student develops sense of working to high quality standards AB2.2 : The student is able to communicate to a good and professional standard in a foreign language that is commonly used in nautical contexts General competences AC1.6 : The student develops ability to communicate information, ideas, problems and solutions to specialists and non-specialists AC2.2 : The student is able to communicate in a targeted, efficient way (oral or written: oral fluency, proper reporting) AC2.5 : The student is able to display appropriate social skills in human interaction (including acting and behaving respectfully)


Required preliminary competences Sufficient knowledge of the English language as required by the 'attainment targets' (learning outcomes) of secondary education (general or technical secondary education). This implies that the knowledge and the linguistic competence of a beginning student (cf. entry levels) should be situated at the 'lower intermediate language level' (as described in the current professional literature concerning 'English as a foreign language'. Entry level For the academic bachelor Nautical Sciences this means that the entry levels require a sufficient command of the English vocabulary, grammar, pronunciation and linguistic skills as treated in Core Section 1 of the IMO Model Course (MC 3.17 - Core Section 1). First year starter students with shortcomings for English are given the opportunity to take a 'refresher course'. This bridging course is based on the goals of Core Section 1 of Model Course 3.17 and complies with the set goals and language levels - 'elementary' to 'lower intermediate' - of the same Core Section.

Course: Maritime French (Part 2)




Exam contract: Yes

Course element Maritime French








Instruction language NL/FR Course content The maritime French course in the second bachelor year aims at the further

elaboration of the communicative skills the student has acquired during his first year (maritime French - part 1). In the second part attention is paid to: 1 elaboration of the maritime vocabulary; 2 improving verbal fluency by means of discussions and presentations; 3 a correct spoken and written language; 4 listening comprehension and analysis of audio-visual documents. The analysis of a maritime text remains the most important component and will be continued according to the same principles. A text on a maritime topic is the starting point for a file consisting of the following exercises: analysis of the general contents of the text by means of direct questions, vocabulary exercises (fill the blanks, synonyms, translation). The two key words of this cours are interaction and self-activity.


Specific job-related competences The student acquires: - the necessary knowledge, the insight and the language skills to communicate in French clearly and effectively, as well in maritime French as in French for general use; - the necessary language skills to integrate the professional vocabulary (maritime/nautical professional terminology) in French effectively at an extended level; - the necessary study skills which are essential for permanent self-study. The student is able: - to understand the contents of maritime texts/articles and audiovisual documents and to analyse this material critically;

110

- to express himself in an appropriate manner, both written and orally, by means of an extended maritime vocabulary and this in different situations within the maritime world; - to adopt a respectful attitude during his external contacts. General job-related competences AB1.1 : The student develops sense for teamwork AB2.2 : The student is able to communicate to a good and professional standard in a foreign language that is commonly used in nautical contexts General competences AC1.2 : The student develops ability to acquire and process information AC1.3 : The student develops capacity for critical reflection (independent and critical mindset) AC1.6 : The student develops ability to communicate information, ideas, problems and solutions to specialists and non-specialists AC1.7 : The student develops openness to life-long-learning AC2.2 : The student is able to communicate in a targeted, efficient way (oral or written: oral fluency, proper reporting) AC2.5 : The student is able to display appropriate social skills in human interaction (including acting and behaving respectfully)


Required preliminary competences This course is the logical continuation of the course 'Maritiem Frans - deel 1' (Maritime French - part 1) and can, therefore, only be attended by those students who have passed the first part of the course. Required preliminary credit(s) The student has passed the first part of the course 'Maritiem Frans - deel 1 (basiskennis).

Exam contract: Yes

Course element Maritime Dutch (part 2)



Lecturer(s) Willy VAN PARYS Units of credit (UC) 0 Semester + module(s) Semester 1, Module 1.1





Instruction language NL/FR Course content This course is the logical continuation of the course 'Maritiem Nederlands - deel

1' (Maritime Dutch - part 1) and can, therefore, only be attended by those students who have passed the first part of the course. After all, the course 'Maritiem Nederlands - deel 2' (Maritime Dutch - part 2) builds on the knowledge and skills that have been acquired in part 1. This course aims at a more thorough command of maritime Dutch, so that a more fluent and more correct spoken and written communication within the maritime domain becomes possible. This implies that in 'Maritiem Nederlands - deel 2' (Maritime Dutch - part 2) the technical maritime terminology is systematically extended and that the four linguistic skills are developed in proper proportions again, so as to improve the students' communicative skills. Reading and listening skills are practised as described for the course 'Maritiem Nederlands - deel 1' (Maritime Dutch - part 1). However, both the assignments and the texts discussed are more complex and more difficult, so as to increase the students' language proficiency and to extend their knowledge of Dutch maritime terminology. In the reading tasks more attention is paid to intensive and extensive reading (cf. reading strategies). Doing so, the students not only learn to understand the content of a text, but also to analyse it in detail and to give a critical evaluation. As for the productive skills (writing and speaking), the difficulty level of the assignments increases as well. In the writing exercises the students acquire the necessary skills to write texts directly related to their professional life in the maritime sector.

112

In the speaking exercises oral communicative skills (cf. 'Maritiem Nederlands - deel 1' (Maritime Dutch - part 1)) are further refined and practised. The students learn how to give a more elaborate talk or presentation and practise different sorts of conversational techniques (cf. discussion exercises, conference techniques).


Specific job-related competences The student develops/acquires: - the necessary knowledge, understanding and linguistic skills to communicate in a fluent and effective manner in the Dutch language (for both maritime and general use); - the necessary linguistic skills to use the professional vocabulary (maritime/nautical terminology) in a (more) comprehensive and effective way; - the necessary study skills essential for permanent self-tuition (and lifelong learning). The student is able to: - understand the contents of maritime texts/articles (also presented in auditive/audio-visual form) and to make a critical analysis of the reading texts (cf. reading skills/listening skills); - express himself adequately and correctly (written communications and oral proficiency) in various situations within the maritime world (cf. writing skills/speaking skills). General job-related competences AB1.1 : The student develops sense for teamwork AB1.5 : The student develops sense of working to high quality standards AB2.2 : The student is able to communicate to a good and professional standard in a foreign language that is commonly used in nautical contexts Discipline-specific scientific competences WD1.1 : The student acquires understanding of basic scientific knowledge specific to the nautical sciences General scientific competences AW1.3 : The student develops capacity to collect relevant data as input for forming opinions on social, scientific and ethical issues AW1.5 : The student develops sense of analytical thought AW1.6 : The student develops sense of critical thought and reflection on own science General competences AC1.2 : The student develops ability to acquire and process information AC1.3 : The student develops capacity for critical reflection (independent and critical mindset) AC1.4 : The student develops creativity; sense of innovation in thought and action AC1.6 : The student develops ability to communicate information, ideas, problems and solutions to specialists and non-specialists AC1.7 : The student develops openness to life-long-learning AC1.8 : The student develops international, multi-cultural mindset AC2.2 : The student is able to communicate in a targeted, efficient way (oral or written: oral fluency, proper reporting) AC2.5 : The student is able to display appropriate social skills in human interaction (including acting and behaving respectfully)

The focus of the course is on an advanced study of applications that are frequently encountered in the professional maritime context, namely Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel. For both applications, this course follows the "advanced level" of the ECDL Foundation (European Computer Driving Licence, www.ecdl.com), with emphasis on nautical examples. Students may also choose to use OpenOffice, for which limited support is available. This course treats the necessary skills for the typesetting of a dissertation or report: adding structure to a document (chapters, paragraphs, emphasis, lists,), inserting standard components in a document (table of contents, references, bibliographical references), inserting figures and tables. We also study the typesetting of "mathematical" formulas. Microsoft Excel will be used for performing calculations and their automation, and for management, analysis and graphical representation of numerical data, for instance in the context of a dissertation.


General job-related competences AB1.5 : The student develops sense of working to high quality standards AB2.1 : The student is able to apply acquired knowledge and execute practical actions in situations in a professional context The student demonstrates the ability - to use the text processor Word efficiently to create and maintain long and complex documents, for example their bachelor and master term papers or other reports; - to use the spreadsheet software Excel efficiently to perform relatively complex computation tasks.
