  • History of Marine Insurance / Introduction to Engineering Experiment: Vibration Experiment as an Example
    • Logistics and Trade
    • Eigenfrequency
    • Vibration mode
    • Resonance

    Insurance has developed since the Age of Discovery, because ship accidents can cause great damage and lead to corporate bankruptcies and social unrest. We will look back on the history of maritime insurance, including the dawn of marine insurance and the development of Lloyd’s Insurance Company, and consider the future of maritime logistics. /
    Experiencing what has been learned in the classroom through experiments leads to a better understanding of the content. Therefore, as an introduction to engineering experiments, a vibration experiment of a beam is used as an example.

Competency／コンピテンシー

Course Objectives

This course will develop the ability to contribute to “peaceful use of the seas and sustainable development” while acquiring the broad education and specialized knowledge and skills necessary for global human resources in the oceans and maritime fields who will be active in Asia (especially in ASEAN countries, particularly Indonesia, which is experiencing rapid economic development and strengthening the oceans and maritime fields as a national policy) and the world.

– Understand maritime civilization, culture, and history, and be able to explain the relationship between people and the sea since recorded history and in the future.
– Understand the basic propulsion/motion mechanisms of ships, and be able to explain technologies related to energy saving and automatic navigation.
– Understand the basic structure of a ship, and be able to explain numerical simulation technology related to ship structure.
– Understand the design and production technologies related to ship construction and the mechanisms of maritime logistics, and be able to explain the latest efforts such as Digital transformation of factories and logistics.
– Be able to explain efforts related to the oceans and maritime fields with an eye to the near future, and have knowledge of various elemental technologies such as ship steering control, communication infrastructure, and monitoring.
– Understand the current issues and be able to proactively consider countermeasures for the safe, secure, and sustainable peaceful use of marine space.

Learning Outcomes

The following goals have been set in order to cultivate global human resources with wide-ranging education and specialized knowledge who will be active in the oceans and maritime fields in Asia (particularly the ASEAN countries, centered on Indonesia, which is experiencing rapid economic development and is strengthening the oceans and maritime fields as a national policy) and around the world:

– Acquire comprehensive knowledge related to the oceans and maritime fields from the perspectives of science, humanities, and social science, and to develop an ethical sense and the ability to think from multiple perspectives about the peaceful use of the seas and their sustainable development.
– Develop an interest in engineering issues related to the oceans and maritime fields, and the ability to gather information independently and continuously.
– Understand and acquire the basic knowledge necessary for marine and maritime engineers and researchers.
– Develop specialized knowledge related to the oceans and maritime fields and the ability to rationally apply this to problem solving.
