Course Description

The integration of electronics and computer technologies in all engineering academic disciplines and the emerging of digital electronics and micro-computers as a central element of many engineering products and processes, have become a common theme in electronic navigation over the past 20 years. Accordingly, this course is compiled to introduce the principles and fundamental concepts of digital maps and their utilization in a data base to form the electronic/computerized data display and information systems, namely ECDIS.  ECDIS architecture provides the user (Watch Officer/Marine Transportation and Management Engineer) with facilitates such as decision making support and a variety of utilities as far as safe navigation and situational awareness is concerned.

Course Objectives

The objective of this course is to set the educational framework accompanied by necessary vocational trainings in order to comply with SOLAS, STCW and IMO 1.27 standards as far as ECDIS “generic training” is concerned. The end objective is awarding the students, as prospective cadets and deck officers, an internationally valid ECDIS Certificate in concert with pertinent international requirements.  

Course Learning Outcomes

By the end of this course, students will have a complete appraisal of ECDIS exploitation in both theoretical and practical manners. Outcomes follow:

1. Learning Digital maps and their integrated usage with ECDIS.   
2. Learning ECDIS MFD, Learning Menus and Tools
3. Setting Alarms and Warnings, Learning the whole process of Voyage Planning
4. Practice: Hands on Buttons and Knobs Training (Voyage Planning)

Instructional Methods and Techniques

The course educational package   is presented by power point presentations whereas practical training is carried out in computer working stations and hands on buttons and knobs training is exercised in ECDIS simulators room.(TRANSAS NTPRO)
