Ship Construction is a dynamic subject that continuously shifts from one perspective to another. However, the technicality is the same even if the theories and perspectives vary. Hence to gain knowledge in this subject you must be equipped with more vicious on the syllabus.
In this article, we tried to provide the required syllabus of the MV3304 Ship Construction subject to gain command of the subject matter. By the end of the course, you will be trained and guided with useful knowledge regarding technical english, which plays a major role in understanding the core of this B.E Marine Engineering semester III related to Affiliated institutions awarded by Anna University course. Hope this information is useful. Kindly share it with your friends. Comment below if you have queries regarding the syllabus.
If you want to know more about the syllabus of B.E. Marine Engineering connected to an affiliated institution’s four-year undergraduate degree program. We provide you with a detailed Year-wise, semester-wise, and Subject-wise syllabus in the following link B.E. Marine Engineering Syllabus Regulation 2021 Anna University.
Aim Of Concept:
