D1. Knowledge and understanding
The objective of the course is to provide students with the capability of using software tools, with specific reference to the field of Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering. The topics of the course will be addressed giving the student an immediate possibility of autonomous application.

D2. Applying knowledge and understanding
The student will be able to apply the knowledge acquired during the course to standard problems associated with Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering.

D3. Making judgements
The student will be able to autonomously judge how to use the software tool to analyse a problem or to automatize solution procedures.

D4. Communication skills
The student will be able to clearly communicate the results obtained from the application of software tools, and how the software tools have been applied.

D5. Learning skills
The student will acquire an approach to the topics of the course which promote an autonomous attitude towards the improvement and extension of knowledge and usage capabilities of software tools.
