| Essential Question | Level of Thinking |
| What is an architecture and what are the architectural modules (building blocks) of ship's electrical power and propulsion architectures? | |
| What are implications of a radial architecture, zonal architecture, and ring bus architecture? | |
| What are implications of a mechanical drive ship design, a hybrid drive ship design, and an integrated electric drive ship design? | |
| What are implications of current type (a.c. and d.c.) and voltage level (Low voltage and medium voltage) buses? | |
