Bachelor of Engineering (Maritime) Honours

Offered in collaboration with the Australian Maritime College at the University of Tasmania in Launceston, Tasmania, this specialist engineering course will guide you towards a thriving career in the maritime industry.

Through this course the students focus on one of the three maritime industry specialisations: Naval Architecture, Ocean Engineering, or Marine and Offshore Engineering. Marine and Offshore engineers are involved with the design, manufacture, deployment and commissioning of systems associated with the marine and offshore oil and gas industries. Naval architects are professional engineers who design and oversee the construction and repair of marine craft and various offshore structures. Ocean engineers are involved in the design of offshore structures such as oil and gas platforms or subsea pipelines, as well as the wide range of infrastructure associated with the ports and harbour facilities and submersible vehicles required to service them.

• Demonstrate advanced knowledge of the underpinning natural and physical sciences and in depth understanding of specialist bodies of knowledge within the maritime engineering discipline.
• Think critically and apply established engineering methods and research skills to complex maritime engineering problem solving.
• Apply systematic engineering synthesis and design processes to conduct and manage maritime engineering projects with some intellectual independence.
• Demonstrate conceptual understanding of the mathematics, numerical analysis, statistics and computer information sciences which underpin the maritime engineering discipline and fluently apply engineering techniques, tools and resources.
• Demonstrate clear and coherent oral and written communication in professional and lay domains.
• Demonstrate a global outlook and knowledge of contextual factors impacting the engineering discipline, including respect for cultural diversity and indigenous cultural competence.
• Demonstrate effective team membership and team leadership to implement engineering projects according to relevant standards of ethical conduct, sustainable practice and professional accountability.
• Demonstrate responsibility for own learning, professional judgement and an understanding of the scope, principles, norms, accountabilities and bounds of contemporary engineering practice.
