Course Description
|
This course forms part of the proposed Modular Framework for vocational and professional qualification based on a degree programme in Navigation Engineering. The Programme gives students an in-depth expertise of managing a merchant vessel as a Deck Officer and ultimately as the Captain of the vessel. Electronic Navigation Course is about using ‘Electronic Systems of Position Fixing and Navigation’; Echo Sounders and Speed Measurement’, and ‘Steering and Control Systems’. This Course is a part of the Navigation Courses, which all support each other respectively.
This course also provides training in the basic theory and use of radar for officers in charge of a navigational watch and the use of Automatic Radar Plotting Aids (ARPA) on vessels equipped with ARPA.
The aspects covered include the theory necessary to understand how radar information is obtained and displayed, the limitations and accuracy of that information, the formation and recognition of unwanted responses, the correct use of operational controls to obtain an optimal display and checks on performance of the set.
The course also covers recognition of critical targets, the measurement of bearings and distances and the use of these for fixing the ship’s position and maintaining a plot of the movement of other ships as an aid to collision avoidance. Cadets will also be aware of the need to maintain a continuing plot of targets which may pose a potential risk of collision. They will be able to derive from the plot the necessary information about other ships’ courses, speeds and nearest approaches to enable action to be taken in ample time in accordance with COLREG to prevent a close-quarters situation.

Course Objectives
|
1. To operate necessary bridge equipment pertinent to electronic navigation,
2. To learn and use RADAR and ARPA and the connectivity with other ‘Electronic Systems of Position Fixing and Navigation’,
3. To maintain Safety of Navigation through the simulators of RADAR and ARPA
4. To provide students with the capability of making a project study as a group member on a related electronic navigational aid as a research topic and being able to make the presentation with a team work understanding utilizing the necessary tools.
