This site contains most of the material needed to run the university course Me315 "Ocean Engineering", either as a lecturer, as a student or as an active engineer at work. Following 9 lectures are prepared with audio phone, some of which with Norwegian counterpart, and some with WAP reminder:
1: Course Overview. ~ (Kurs-oversikt). ~ Phone ~ [*21#]
2: Hydrodynamics and Morison's Equation. ~ Phone ~ [*22#]
3: Structural Dynamics. ~ Phone ~ [*23#] ~ (WAP reminder)
4: Wave Scattering at Sea. ~ (Bølge-spredning til Havs). ~ Phone ~ [*24#]
5: Spectra and Random Motion. ~ Phone ~ [*25#] ~ (WAP reminder)
6: Wind-Generated Waves. ~ (Vind-genererte bølger). ~ Phone ~ [*26#]
7: Statistical Prediction. ~ Phone ~ [*27#]
8: Extreme Waves and Loads. ~ Phone ~ [*28#]
9: Fatigue in Marine Structures. ~ (Utmatting). ~ Phone ~ [*29#]
The lectures appear within a window with two frames; a wide frame for overhead foils, and a narrow frame with lists and links to the different foils. When a foil appears with mathematical equations, the equation picture is the same as in the compendium and is also linked to that locus in the compendium. When a lecture implies online calculations, a foil with an online computer form fitted to the purpose is usually prepared. Otherwise the standard computers and tools are always at hand through links at the bottom of the left hand frame.

Lectures 2 to 8 cover the material required for course Me315 - "Ocean Engineering" at the Institute of Mathematics, University of Oslo. Lecture 9 covers the closed-form part of the "Fatigue Course" of the Training Center at Det Norske Veritas.

The text-to-speech tutors are activated, either by word such as Talk or DECTalk on the screen, or as a horizontal bar like that below. Most frequently the tutors speak the text on the foils, but may also give additional comments. The link "Phone" provides a telephone simulator which speaks the respective talk files, but the potential of this will evidently not be understood until thereal telephones begin to talk.
