Bachelor of Maritime Engineering (Specialisation) (Honours) - ECU

The Bachelor of Maritime Engineering (Specialisation) (Honours) programme is a distinctive Maritime Engineering degree and the only of its kind in the Southern hemisphere. The four-year programme is accredited by Engineers Australia and is aligned with the needs of industry, opening up a world of possible careers for professionally qualified maritime engineers who can provide innovative and creative solutions within the Australian and international maritime industry. The degree has a strong practical approach using AMC's specialist facilities. Within the first two years of study, compulsory units in the degree cover the fundamental aspects of maritime engineering, after which students specialise in one of the following:

naval architecture, focusing on the design and construction of vessels within the shipping, high-speed, offshore, military, underwater and recreational industries;
ocean engineering, focusing on the design of offshore structures, subsea and coastal installations for sustainable development in the maritime environment; or
marine and offshore engineering, focusing on the design, deployment, commissioning and management of mechanical and mechanical-electrical systems associated with the shipping, marine and offshore oil and gas industries.

Learning Outcomes
1 Solve complex technical problems using engineering techniques, tools, and resources through the application of science, technology, engineering and mathematics.
2 Apply systematic engineering design and analysis processes to solve complex maritime engineering problems.
3 Critically evaluate current developments, advanced technologies, and emerging issues to create innovative solutions for the maritime engineering industry.
4 Manage maritime engineering projects using systematic approaches, soft skills, and effective communication in the professional and lay domains.
5 Practice the personal attributes of a professional engineer by implementing ethical and sustainable engineering practices and professional accountability..

This degree program is available to students who have completed years 1 and 2 in the Bachelor of Engineering (Naval Architecture) Honours at Edith Cowan University, Western Australia.

All international students will need to meet the minimum English Language Requirements, University General Entry Requirements and any course specific requirements such as pre-requisite subjects, if applicable.
