    <title language="eng">Offshore Wind Farms - The new kind of Marine Protected Area for Northern Europe?</title>
    <abstract language="eng">This thesis combines the findings of several publications and studies on the influ- ence of offshore wind farms on marine life, in Northern Europe. The properties and characteristics of this offshore wind farm areas were compared to the characteristics of marine protected areas and differences as well as conformities were highlighted. It is evident, that the negative consequences accompanying the implementation of offshore wind farms are less concise, than the public opinion assumes. Although scientific knowledge gaps in multiple related fields for example, the influence of elec- tromagnetic fields on individuals or the influence of noise on benthos species, are present, offshore wind farms offer chances to contribute positive effects for marine life in terms of de facto protected areas and new possibilities for population growth. The planned extensions of offshore wind farms in geographical relation to marine protected areas could enhance the size of protected areas and connect remote ma- rine protected areas with each other.</abstract>

    <title language="eng">Designing a Launching System for a Robotic Boat</title>
    <abstract language="eng">Based on the learning in this degree program, the author was tasked with developing a transport system for the current research boat, called Roboboat. The aim was to examine the components and reverse engineer them to calculate the mechanics of the boat. Because no design or measurement data were available, this thesis began by modeling the boat. After modeling, a literature review was conducted, and a launch system was designed with a focus on utility and cost-effectiveness. This report presents the design process, calculates the stress and strain on the design elements, and presents the concept of a launch system.  Finally, the stability of the boat is calculated, and the mathematical validation of Roboboat is presented.</abstract>

    <title language="eng">Development of a CANBUS network for RoboBoat</title>
    <abstract language="eng">Autonomous marine vessels have seen use since as far back as World War I, with the Imperial German Navy’s Fernlenkboot. Such vessels find more modern use in the logistics sector and as survey vessels, where the continuous operation made possible by autonomy provides distinct advantages in their respective tasks and industries. This thesis presents the development of a CANBUS-based internal network for the RoboBoat autonomous surface vessel project of the Rhine-Waal university of Applied Sciences. It is designed to be the basis on which further development of on-board electronics can take place. It will also act as a platform for further development of the RoboBoat itself, as well as for future projects by students of Rhine-Waal University’s FabLab Blue that require such communication architecture. The resulting network is built around the NMEA 2000 standard and off-the-shelf microcontroller boards and network cables, which have enabled quick and fairly robust communication between the different control modules employed in the prototype. NMEA 2000 was chosen owing to its compatibility with modern marine hardware like the multi-function displays, as well as for a simple path to backwards-compatibility with older, less expensive NMEA 0183 hardware. The development process incorporates the systematic process of Engineering Design by G. Pahl and W. Beitz, which guides the processes used here to make various design decisions.</abstract>
