About the program
Almost everything that is built to go on or in the ocean, is designed by a maritime engineer. From offshore wind farms and submarines, research equipment such as autonomous underwater vehicles, and luxury yachts! This program summarises the diversity of projects engineers work across at the AMC and how they are helping to solve global problems.
Global logistics doesn’t sound too exciting, until you realise that 90% of world trade is sent via the ocean (and Tasmania is an island!). Logistics experts use a range of specialist skills in business, planning, coordination, and communication to manage this vast industry, ensuring that goods can get from Point A to Point B.
At the Australian Maritime College, engineers work across a diversity of projects and have to be experts not just in the physics of engineering and the design process, but also in the marine environment and the real world applications of their designs.
