It has considerably practical significance to apply Man-Machine-Environment System Engineering (MMESE) on large scale vessel throughout its whole life cycle. At present, there are not too many researches on this topic in China, but specific tasks refer to a really wide range while developing separately without guidance from the very top. From the views of vessel system, life cycle system of it and MMESE discipline system, the MMESE application system for vessel is constructed; based on it and System Engineering, the three dimension application model for vessel throughout its life cycle is brought forth; based on it and Concurrent Engineering, the concept and framework of MMESE Application System Engineering throughout Life Cycle of Large Scale Vessel (MLM) is finally developed, which plays an important role in conducting actual projects.

Ergonomics applications is now a highlight spot in various fields. To tackle the problem of unsustainable accumulation of ergonomics knowledge, the representation of ergonomics knowledge is of great importance for the ergonomics experts system to be developed. Based on the appropriate ontology technology, the general knowledge of ergonomics is reclassified to the man-machine-environment. By adopting the top-down method and Protégé, an ontology-based ergonomic framework is conducted to the ergonomics knowledge classification and representation.

Industrial design is of a great importance for the new economy. The design education scenario is focused in a local region; with the questionnaire survey method is applied. The main issues discussed are concern about the course schema, the quality of staff, the teaching conditions, the international exchanges activities and the future professional career. The causes for existing problems are analyzed based on the data obtained, and general suggestions are proposed also.

It is a complex but important issue to have a shower for the sailors in a luxury passenger liner whose working and living staff are all to be held in a closed environment. It is hard to decide what kind of showering mode can satisfy the sailors’ showering need, as well as using discrete event theory to handle it because of the mass of people and their behavior’s randomicity. A method based on the theory of discrete event to simulate the showering mode in the ship has been brought out by using the software of QUEST, and the design of the bath system of the ship has been proved to be with usability after simulations. What factors and how they affect the performance of the showering system have been found. At last, an implementation suggestion has been brought forward.

The service in dining-room for the sailors is a very important issue in a luxury passenger liner which affects the work’s performance, so as well as the ship’s. There has not too much research about this topic in China right now. A method to simulate and analyze the dining-room servicing mode which was based on the discrete event system using the software QUEST has been brought out, and used to estimate a design project by analyzing the six factors which affect the servicing mode while releasing a final implement suggestion.
