      <title>SEA PROJECT FOR FIRST SAILING PERIOD (ENGINE)</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/43367</link>
      <description><![CDATA[This course in marine engineering consists of assignments covering phases of ship operations, systems and components. Each section requires a written report in which a particular area, system, component or operation is described.  The project covers (1) marine engineering systems (2) marine engineering operations (3) machine shop (4) electrical engineering (5) diesel engineering (6) Ship construction and (7) deck operations.  Note: no list of the applicable study test or reading material is included.]]></description>

      <title>SEA PROJECT FOR FIRST SAILING PERIOD (DUAL LICENSE)</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/43369</link>
      <description><![CDATA[This project differs from the separate deck and engine programs as it is part of the program designed to train a ship's officer to be licensed as BOTH an engineer and a mate.  It basically combines the "first sailing period" project for deck and engine and consists of the following topics (1) marine engineering systems (2) marine engineering operations (3) diesel engineering (4) electrical engineering (5) seamanship (6) navigation (7) cargo (8) Rules of the Road (9) ship constructions (10) weather (11) ship's business (12) humanities program and (13) a medical guestionnaire.  A list of recommended references is included.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[The manual begins with descriptions and diagrams illustrating the basic principles of electricity, magnetism, fields of force, batteries (primary and secondary cells) and their construction, Ohm's law and its application.  The various types of AC/DC motors and generators are reviewed including the different types of windings and their advantages.  Clear and easily understood diagrams are provided with the text, illustration the characteristic differences in construction.  Voltage control, parallel operation, transformers and the use of volt-ohm meters are described in detail.  A section on electrical symbols is included.  The final section contains 600 multiple choice and essay type Q&A for review purposes.  A list of electrical terms and definitions is also provided.]]></description>
