2.00 Credits
CLASS HOURS: 2, CREDIT: 3 Prerequisites: NAU 102, NAU 102L Corequisite: NAU 302L Fundamental principles of electronic navigation systems and basic computational forms of the sailings will be covered. The course consists of both classroom lecture and practical lab applications. Upon completing the course, students should be able to demonstrate an understanding of the sailings, hyperbolic and radio navigation systems, and Global Positioning System. Integrated Bridge Systems will also be discussed. The concept of navigational crosschecking will permeate all subjects. Emphasis is placed on accuracy, neatness, precision and the good judgment required of a modern merchant mariner. Formerly NAU 200.
