2.00 Credits
Students who successfully complete Applied Shiphandling II will have gained experience in preparing for and carrying out a voyage in accordance with IMO Reg. 893(21). Students will carry out fi ve voyages under various conditions of daylight and other environmental parameters. Vessels will vary in size and type. Bridge team procedures are emphasized. Extensive ARPA skill is developed through high traffi c demands of individual simulator scenarios. All learning objectives of Applied Shiphandling I are incorporated into the simulator exercises of this course. Prerequisite: MT-3231, MT-3222 STCW: Knowledge and Practical

2.00 Credits
This capstone seamanship program is designed to provide the deck student with the knowledge and basic skills to function as a ship's offi cer. Topics include Search and Rescue techniques, Damage Control and Marine Salvage, Tug and Towing basics, Ice Navigation Procedures, Anchoring and Mooring, Docking and Undocking, Ship/Helicopter Operations, and Advanced Shiphandling techniques. An intensive hands-on seamanship lab program complements the classroom experience. Prerequisite: MT-2231 STCW: None

A basic course in how ships are constructed combined with the key concepts required for their stability. Ship construction emphasizes the principal structural members of a ship, along with measurement by various tonnages, and proper nomenclature for the sea-going offi cer. Ship stability emphasizes the concepts of fl otation, stability, ship strength and proper trim. Upon completion, the student will have knowledge of ship sizes, nomenclature and tonnages, along with the ability to use hydrostatic information to calculate initial stability and changes in stability. Additionally, the student will be aware of appropriate actions to take in the event of partial loss of intact buoyancy. Prerequisite: EN-3112 STCW: Knowledge
-
2.00 Credits
Designed to follow Tugs and Towing I, this course builds upon the skills previously developed in its prerequisite, and is designed to elevate the student to a more advanced level. It uses the theory previously studied, and puts it to practical use on the water. Students make use of all the Academy's limited-tonnage training vessels with heavy emphasis placed on the practical aspects of towing, pushing cargo barges, and ship-assist work. Prerequisite: MT-3171 STCW: None

0.00 Credits
This course is designed to meet all stability knowledge requirements for Offi cer in Charge of a Navigation Watch defi ned by STCW Regulation II/1. Building on the principles of stability, the student will use tables and diagrams of stability and trim data to calculate initial stability, drafts and trim for any given confi guration of loading. The student will compute both longitudinal and transverse stability for any condition during the load-out or discharge using both the traditional stability booklet and stability software. The student will interpret stability information and identify factors adversely affecting stability. Finally, the student will become familiar with damage stability assessment and fundamental actions to be taken in the event of partial loss of intact buoyancy. Prerequisite: MT-2141, SM-2121 STCW: Knowledge

0.00 Credits
A study of the rules and regulations that govern marine inspection, lifesaving, fi re fi ghting, and environmental pollution. This course prepares future licensed offi cers for shipboard responsibilities including: maintenance and use of lifesaving equipment, maintenance and use of fi refi ghting equipment, confi ned space entry, emergency situations, and pollution prevention and abatement. Case studies of marine casualties are used to apply the concepts and theories of marine safety. The course provides the student with a mix of critical analysis, application, and communication. Prerequisite: MT-2231 STCW: Knowledge
-
0.00 Credits
Prospective deck license candidates will be prepared for the United States Coast Guard license examination for Offi cer In Charge of a Navigation Watch (OICNW) and for Third Mate, Steam and Motor Vessels of any gross tons upon oceans. This objective will be achieved through a structured curriculum which includes a comprehensive review of all the nautical science disciplines. Classroom lectures, discussions, and student assignments, as well as a rigorous weekly objective testing program, will be utilized. Prerequisite: USCG License prerequisites STCW: None
-
4.00 Credits
A capstone assessment program allowing deck, undergraduate students an opportunity to demonstrate competency in Bridge Resource Management and Watchstanding for STCW 95 and USCG licensing requirements. Students successfully completing these competencies are capable of undertaking all of the duties and responsibilities expected of a deck watchkeeping offi cer. Upon successful completion of this course, a U.S. Coast Guard approved certifi cate is issued certifying that the holder demonstrates appropriate competence in watchkeeping, bridge team management, and bridge resource management, meeting the standards prescribed by IMO/STCW and the U.S. Coast Guard. Prerequisite: MT-4131 STCW: Practical
-
6.00 Credits
Provides an opportunity for cadets to obtain sea service as an offi cer in charge of a navigational watch in a structured shipboard training program compliant with Chapter II of STCW and the requirements of 46 CFR Subpart C. The training uses a building-block approach bringing the cadet up to an acceptable level of profi ciency in each area of required competence. Shipboard training is closely integrated with the shore-based academic curriculum at the Academy. Particularly focusing on watchstanding and celestial navigation, the senior cruise is an opportunity for the Marine Transportation cadet to put together all facets of shipboard operations and to utilize them while in charge of the vessel and watches. Prerequisite: MT-3222, MT-3371, or MT-3372 STCW: Knowledge and Practical

0.00 Credits
An introduction to the Merchant Marine/U.S. Naval relationship. The concept of sea power, the national importance of a viable U.S. Merchant Marine, and the mission of the U.S. Navy are among the major points covered. The basic administrative and operational organization of the U.S. Navy is examined and discussed, as well as the basics of shipboard damage control. This course is mandatory by Federal law for Marine Engineering and Marine Transportation majors. Prerequisite: None STCW: None
