Description: Tim book is intended to COVeT tbe theoretical work in the Scottish Vocational Education CounCil Syllabus for Naval Architecture in Part B of the examination for Certificate of Competency for Class 2 and Class I Marine Engineer Officer, administered on behalf of the Depanment of Transport.
In each section the work progresses from an elemeru.aT)l staae to the standard required for Class I Examinations. Pans of the subject Mauer and the attendant Test Examples are marked with the prefIX "f" to indicate that they are normally beyond the syllabus for the Class 2 Examination and so can be temporarily disregarded by such candidates. Throughoul the book emphasis is placed on basic principles, and the profusely illustrated text, together with the worked examples. assists the student to assimilate these principles more easily.
All students attemptiDi Part B of their certificate will have covered lhe work required for Part A. and several of tbe principles of Mathematics and Mechanics are used in this volume. Where a particularly importalll: principle is required, however, it is revised in this book. Fully worked solutioI15 are given for all Test Examples and Examination Questions. In several cases shorter methods are available and acceptable in the examination, but the author has attempled to use a similar method for similar problems. and to avoid methods which may only be used in isolated cases. It should be noted tbat a large proportion of the worked solutions include diagrams and it is suggested tbat the students foUow this practice. The typical Examination Queslions are intended as a revision of tbe whole of the work, and sbould be ueated as such by attempting tbc:m in the order in which they are given. The student should avoid attempting a Dumber of similar types of QUestions at the same time. A number of Examination Questions have been selected from Depanment of Transpon papers and are reproduced by kind permission of the Controller of Her Majesty's Stationery Office. while some have been selected from the SCOTVEC papers and are reproduced by kind permission of that Council.
An engineer who works systematieally throuih this volume will find that his time is amply repaid when attcodioa a course of study at a coUege and his chance of suecess in the Examination will be greatly increased.
