    Hamid put a lot of effort and dedication into his teaching and provided timely and useful feedback. Hamid has gone above and beyond in lecturing JEE332 Structural Analysis. He is extremely engaging, puts extreme amounts of dedication into his teachings, and is fantastic at explaining questions asked and feedback. He also explains complex subjects extremely well, and I believe that is a testament to his lecture slides and dedication to the job.

  • UNIT COORDINATED
    JEE320 Applied Offshore Structural Engineering
    24 Feb 2025
    JEE320 Applied Offshore Structural Engineering is an advanced unit that introduces the students to the methods and industry standards/codes for the loading, analysis, design, and construction of fixed steel and concrete offshore structures, such as the ones shown in this slide, as well as subsea systems and pipelines. In addition, students will be exposed to geotechnical engineering topics relevant to offshore soil mechanics and design of offshore foundations. The unit builds heavily on the knowledge gained in Structural Analysis, Mechanics of Solids, and Engineering Materials and will become the foundation for latter research and design projects conducted in Ocean Engineering specialisation.
  • UNIT COORDINATED
    JEE332 Structural Analysis
    24 Feb 2025
    JEE332 Structural Analysis is an advanced unit that introduces students to the linearised elastic analysis techniques required for the design of structural systems used in maritime engineering projects. Building upon the knowledge from Statics and Mechanics of Solids, students are introduced to theories and techniques needed to make engineering decisions and calculations in the design of statically indeterminate structures and floating bodies. The knowledge gained in this unit will become the foundation for latter specialised structural analysis and design units of the Naval Architecture and Ocean Engineering specialisations.
  • UNIT COORDINATED
    JEE402 Design of Coastal Engineering Structures
    24 Feb 2025
    JEE402 Design of Coastal Engineering Structures is an advanced design unit of the Ocean Engineering specialisation that introduces the students to key concepts in coastal engineering. The unit extends and applies the concepts from JEE363 Applied Hydrodynamics and JEE320 Applied Offshore Structural Engineering to the context of coastal-zone hydrodynamics, design of coastal-protection structures (such as seawalls, bulkheads, and breakwaters), and management of coastal environment. Students are also introduced to the elements of port engineering and the design of berth structures.

  • UNIT COORDINATED
    JEE253 Production Processes for Maritime Infrastructure
    22 Jul 2024 - 31 Dec 2024
    The unit provides an introduction to fundamental aspects of the rational engineering approaches and issues which influence the construction of marine vessels, on-board systems and offshore structures including materials. The unit will serve sympathetic approaches of the procedures, processes, tools, techniques, strategies and tactics used for managing on-site construction and production operations in a multi-tasking team environment. This unit further develops soft skills gained in the first year and project management in the second year. Moreover, the unit will cover corrosion, heat treatments in steel, quality and safety related issues to understand its relevance for theory and practice employed during construction and production of maritime infrastructures.
