Four-year progression
The first year covers Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, computing, graphics and workshops. The second year develops mechanics, materials, thermodynamics, marine processes and measurement. Course application: vessel and offshore design.
The third year covers engine maintenance, forming, joining, engine-room automation, CAD/CAM, quality, automation and operation planning. The final year includes electives, internship and major project. Course application: vessel and offshore design.
Laboratory workload
Students perform engine maintenance, propulsion components, forming, ship welding, marine measurement, engine-room automation and automation work. Reports should include parameters, measurements, defects and safety. Course application: vessel and offshore design.
Internship
Internships may occur in maritime, aerospace, machine-tool, fabrication, electronics, foundry, energy or quality organisations. Defined technical work and supervision matter more than the company name. Course application: vessel and offshore design.
Major project
Projects can develop fixtures, optimise a process, analyse defects, automate inspection or evaluate additive manufacture. Scope should match available machines, materials and time. Course application: vessel and offshore design.
