    Depends whether you want to study by correspondence or on site - take a look at the courses offered by the various institutions listed in the directory on this site....

    And also what types of boats you want to design (small boats, yachts, commercial ships) and what you see your ideal role & work situation being - what parts of the design process do you want to be strongest at and what do you enjoy focusing on, if you know yet.

    Rrespected sir,
    i m a final year student of engineering in raj. india. sir in the submition of my project i know the basic concept but i donot know the right way so pl'z tell me.

    PRO: to design a boat by using aluminium foil ,which can sustained maximum weight. in the designing of the boat pl'z consider the sea-worthiness, shape . the size of the foil is 25cm.*25cm..

    so pl'z give me the best solution with specific dimens.
    thanking you,
    u'r sincerely
