I am currently teaching courses at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, Universiti Teknologi Malaysia. Students are advised to enroll through the university e-learning platform. If you have any questions regarding the course topics, please feel free to contact me at nmridzuan@utm.my, and I will respond as soon as possible.
SEMO1503 - Ship Engineering Drawing
Offered in every Semester: 1
This subject introduces students to the basic of ships and engineering drawing knowledge. It enables students to apply their skills and knowledge of engineering drawing to understand any design via geometric drawing, orthographic projection, isometric and production drawing. Meanwhile, in ship drawing parts, the student will be able to interpret a hull formation through lines plan drawing which consists of body, half breadth and sheer plan projection. Basic terminologies which related to naval architecture and ship drawing will be highlighted in this course.

SEMO1332 - Naval Architecture I
Offered in every Semester: 2
In this course, students will continue to learn basic naval architecture knowledge. For this subject, students are exposed on how to use the ship particulars and lines plan data in calculating the hydrostatic particulars of a ship. Students are introduced to the methods of hydrostatics and stability calculations. Students are then introduced to design concept as they are required to use their naval architecture knowledge to design an object for floating structure design competition. The subject contents also include the introduction to ship general arrangement. The course includes hands-on individual and group projects.

SEMO2123 - Ship and Offshore Structures I
Offered in every Semester: 2
This course continues Mechanics of Solid 1 by applying fundamental concepts of forces and stresses to ship structural strength analysis. Students will learn to analyse ship structural loadings, including global and local loads, as well as evaluate hull girder strength through calculations of shear force, bending moment, section modulus, working stress, and safety factors. The course also covers local strength assessment of plate panels treated as beams, columns, or beam-columns. In addition to lectures and tutorials, students enhance their problem-solving, teamwork, and lifelong learning skills through a semester-long group structural design and analysis project.

SEMO3333 - Naval Architecture II
Offered in every Semester: 1
This course introduces students to further naval architectural knowledge. It enables students to more familarise themselves with naval architectural terms, ship components and undertakes hydrostatics and stability calculations. Students will be able to carry out calculations to determine ship stability in all conditions. The content covers calculation transverse stability, longitudinal stability, large angle stability, damage stability, launching and inclining experiment.

SEMO3931 - Marine Laboratory I
Offered in every Semester: 1
This course is designed to enable students to apply knowledge of ship resistance, stability, open water test and roll motions in their laboratory works. This course will also train students to plan and manage their work within a given timeline. It also develops student’s capability to discuss and analyze experimental results clearly, effectively and confidently through written laboratory reports.

SKMO4951 - Marine Laboratory II
Offered in every Semester: 2
This course is designed to enable the students to apply knowledge of seakeeping & motions in waves, manoeuvring, offshore structure tests in the laboratory works. The students need to seek information and prepare marine model experiments protocol and procedure. This course will train the students to prepare the experimental set up and conduct the marine model experiments. They are instructed to analyse the experimental result and deduce the appropriate conclusion. The students need to adopt team work to solve seakeeping & motions, manoeuvring, and self-propulsion tests. This course also develops the students’ capability to present, discuss and analyse experimental results clearly, effectively and confidently in the oral presentations as well as in the written
laboratory reports.

Moderator – Special Guest Lecture from AMOG Pty Ltd, Australia
Organized and facilitated an international guest lecture session featuring Dr. Hayden Marcollo from AMOG Pty Ltd, Australia, to expose students and researchers to current industrial practices in offshore engineering and vortex-induced vibration (VIV) technologies. This initiative strengthened industry–academia engagement while enhancing students’ global exposure and understanding of real-world engineering applications.
