Professional Development
In conjunction with Technology, Systems and Ships 2018, ASNE will be offering a 4-hour short course Marine Systems I. Marine Systems I will provide an introductory overview of shipboard propulsion systems. Participants will examine current shipboard propulsion systems (prime movers and propulsors) for Naval and Commercial applications; in addition to discussing emerging trends in these systems. The objectives of this course are to:

• Provide an introductory overview of shipboard propulsion systems.
• Examine current shipboard propulsion systems (prime movers and propulsors) for Naval and Commercial applications.
