Abstract
This paper describes the outline of the training ship Yuge-maru (TSYM)
belonged to Yuge National College of Maritime Technology (YNCMT) with her latest
equipments. She has three sets of work stations (EWS) connected with LAN, which can
collect, monitor and analyze all the running data of navigation and engine subsystem.
Moreover, some engine simulators as training tools for students are carried out by
software in PC on board of TSYM. This paper shows the some relationships between engineer
course training and levels of trainee using the simulation on board. As a result of
multivariates analyses some useful training effects are shown with several questionnaires
on some favorite subjects of training curriculum, choice between nautical course and
engineering course, expediency of mechanism, early orientation how to operate and maneuver
engine system for new students of sea going students of forty-two people.
KEY WORDS : ship's LAN, engine simulator, questionnaire, early
orientation
1. INTRODUCTION
The training Ship Yuge-maru (TSYM) was built for not only maritime
education and training (MET) but also studies and researches due to many kinds of latest
equipments with the best technologies in March 1994. Her LAN system was connected with the
land's one which had already worked for professor's room and research laboratories in the
campus of YNCMT in 1991.
Her arrangement of TSYM is shown in Fig 1 and LAN system with EWS shown
