This programme allows graduate engineers or those from related disciplines to specialise in, or convert to, Marine Engineering. Marine Engineering is concerned with the design, construction, installation, and support of the systems and equipment onboard marine vehicles, with particular emphasis on propulsion and control systems.
High efficiency and low environmental impact of marine engines are the key factors in assuring economical operation and environmental protection in maritime transportation, which has important implications for both economic success and environmental impact.
The course has three components as follows :
- Instructional Modules
- Group Project
- Individual Project (MSc only)
Depending upon the background of the students, the curriculum will contain a combination of both the following subjects and the generic modules listed
- Advanced Marine Engineering
- Marine Engineering Simulation and Modelling
- Energy Management Systems
- Inspection and Survey
- Waterborne Transportation Systems
- Maritime Safety and Risk
- Ship Power Systems and Design
- Marine Environment Protection and Safety
- Marine Transmission and Propulsion Systems
Generic Modules
- Design Management
- Environmental Impact and Sustainability
- Financial Engineering
- Information Management
- Project Management
- Quantitative Risk Analysis
In groups of 3 to 5, students work in ‘consultant teams’ for ten weeks on a practical engineering problem, mirroring how they might work in industry. To conclude their project, students have the opportunity to present their report to a panel of industrial experts. This learning method provides students with much sought after teamworking and communication skills, plus valuable industrial contact.
Those pursuing the MSc then undertake an individual project. Students gain experience in tackling an issue in a methodical manner on a topic from the student’s own interest or from a list assembled from practice. Guidance is provided by one or two supervisors and the dissertation assessed by external examiners. The discipline of in-depth study is a life-long skill that will be valuable in any position that a graduate may take up in their career.
Graduates are prepared for openings in a wide range of challenging and rewarding careers in the marine and related industries. These include marine engineering machinery and system design, surveying, technical superintendence, project management, safety management, support services, classification societies and consultancy services.
