Developed specifically for engineers, scientists, and technologists, this course offering will review the fundamentals of all types of offshore structures (fixed or floating) and, in the case of fixed platforms, will cover applications of these principles. The overall objective is to provide participants with an understanding of the design and construction of offshore platforms, specifically the theory and process of such design and the use of current, applicable engineering methods in the design of fixed offshore platforms. In addition to the traditional lecture, the course encourages group discussions of actual design problems in order to ensure students can put the newly learned concepts to use.

Class meets April 10-21, 2017.  Early Registration ends March 1, 2017.
