Applied heat for engineers

📘 Course Description:

Structured Programming is one of the foundational courses in computer science that introduces learners to the essential concepts of problem-solving and program design. This course focuses on developing the ability to write efficient, readable, and maintainable code using a structured approach.

You will learn how to use variables, data types, operators, control structures (such as loops and conditionals), and functions to build modular programs. The course also emphasizes algorithmic thinking — how to analyze problems, break them into smaller parts, and translate them into logical program structures.

Through hands-on exercises and projects, you’ll gain experience with writing, debugging, and optimizing code. By the end of the course, you will be able to apply structured programming principles to real-world problems and lay a strong foundation for advanced programming paradigms such as object-oriented programming and data structures.

🎯 Learning Outcomes:

By completing this course, you will be able to:

• Understand the principles and importance of structured programming.

• Develop algorithms using flowcharts and pseudocode.

• Implement programs using control structures, loops, and functions.

• Write clean, efficient, and reusable code.

• Apply problem-solving techniques to real-life scenarios.

💡 Prerequisites:

Basic knowledge of computers and logical reasoning is recommended, but no prior programming experience is required.

PERSONAL SAFETY AND SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITIES - Upgradation Course

In May 2024, the IMO approved amendments to the Seafarers’ Training, Certification, and Watch keeping (STCW) Code aimed at combating and reducing violence and harassment within the maritime industry. These amendments, which will enter into force on 1 January 2026, are set out in Table A-VI/1-4, which specifies the minimum standards of competence in personal safety and social responsibilities.

The amendments introduce a new mandatory minimum requirement for seafarers’ training and instruction concerning the prevention of, and response to, sexual assault, sexual harassment, bullying, and other forms of harassment on board ships.

In particular, the IMO MSC.108, taking into consideration the recommendations of ILO/IMO Joint Tripartite Working Group (JTWG) on the issue, decided to amend STCW Table A-VI/1-4. Previously, this table included six items in the competence column (Column 1); the revised version introduces an additional item titled: “Contribute to the prevention of and response to violence and harassment, including sexual harassment, bullying, and sexual assault.”

2.         The latest developments regarding the International Maritime Organization's (IMO) Personal Safety and Social Responsibilities (PSSR) course involve recent amendments to the STCW Code (Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping for Seafarers) specifically addressing violence and harassment, including sexual assault and sexual harassment (SASH). 

These updates address bullying and sexual harassment, aligning with IMO's recent work to enhance seafarer psychological safety and mental well-being. The course provides mandatory basic training for all seafarers, covering safety procedures, accident prevention, and shipboard life, including interpersonal dynamics and responsibilities.
