Understanding what keeps ships floating upright, so that you don't have a bad day on the water! What you'll learn: Understand the relationship between the center of gravity and the center of buoyancy.Understand the righting moment and its impacts on stability.Define traits that make stability better or worse.Be prepared for maritime regulatory exams regarding stability. Keep floating! This course is for recreational boaters, sailors, or professional mariners looking to increase their understanding of ship stability principles and how to keep a boat or ship safely stable on the water. In the course we will discuss the key points on a vessel such as the center of gravity and the center of buoyancy, as well as the relationship of righting arm to stability of a vessel. We'll discuss the metacenter and common stability indicators such as GM. In addition, we'll learn about common actions that make stability better or worse on boats. We'll also review certain key elements which often appear on professional examinations including several practice problems and solutions. Using video and whiteboard lectures, this course will give you a better understanding of why ships remain upright in the water, and how they are impacted by shifting weights, wind, and seas. As an end result, you will better understand heeling, listing, and rolling period of vessels as indicators of stability. This course is produced by Practical Navigator Training, an approved Coast Guard maritime training provider in the United States, and the instructor is Capt. Chris Nolan, a licensed mariner and tall ship captain with over 20 years of seagoing experience.

This course is about life in the oceans, from the sunlit surface to the inky depths, from microscopic phytoplankton to the great blue whale. The ocean is among the world’s most inhospitable environments for scientific research, which is why we know as much about the surface of the moon as we do the bottom of the sea. This course uncovers the evolutionary history of marine organisms, adaptations to life in water, the behavior and functional morphology of sea animals, interactions between species, and current threats. Throughout the course, we meet scientists who are developing ingenious solutions for overcoming challenges and are making remarkable discoveries. By evaluating these cases and analyzing real scientific data, we come to understand some of the ways that life has adapted to diverse ocean habitats, how it interacts with the physical environment and with other organisms, and why it matters to us.

The course Introducing Marine Engineering has been offered for 90 years since the major, marine engineering, was designed in Dalian Maritime University (DMU). This course aims to help the learners to understand ships, the marine power plant, the crew in the engine department and their main responsibilities, and master the composition of marine power plant, the source and working principle of the ship's power and electric power, and the composition and roles of the ship's power plant and its systems, auxiliary devices and anti-pollution equipment.At present, in DMU, it is a 32-credit-hour course, and for some majors, it is a 16-credit-hour course. It is a compulsory course or distributional elective for those majoring in nautical science, law, rescue and salvage engineering, traffic management, etc. It is also an elective course for all students. Besides, as one of the orientation courses, it is compulsory for students majoring in marine engineering. More than 2,000 students learn this course every year.This course has distinctive maritime characteristics. During the learning process, students have the chance to visit the training ship YUKUN, which has been welcomed by students for many years, and has achieved remarkable learning outcomes. However, with the introduction of national strategies such as building a maritime power, a transportation power and a shipping power, as well as the development of maritime technology and information technology, the contents and the teaching methods of the course also need to be updated. The teaching contents need to reflect how ships support national strategies, enrich students' life, and touch upon more maritime cultures, especially Chinese maritime cultures. The teaching methods need to fully implement the educational concept of "student-centered" and use virtual reality (VR) technology to display the equipment and the engine room.Therefore, the course team members designed the MOOC, Introducing Marine Engineering, updating the course contents, such as international conventions and domestic regulations concerning the safety, environmental protection and management of marine power plant, new technologies such as EFI diesel engine, gas engine, unmanned ship, etc. Learners can see the virtual engine room to experience the convenience and efficiency brought by VR technology. The course team members have also carefully designed the lead-in of each lesson. They start the course by introducing the scenes in life, which is easier for learners to understand, and then lead the learners to acquire the specialized knowledge. They aim to talk about the marine power plant through life, and observe the society through the marine power plant.In a word, Introducing Marine Engineering does not only help students majoring in marine engineering (especially freshmen and sophomores) to learn about marine power plant systematically, but also the non-majors and social learners to enrich their knowledge, understand national strategies and inherit maritime culture.
