This degree program is available to students who have completed years 1 and 2 in the Bachelor of Engineering (Naval Architecture) at Flinders University, South Australia.
Delivered through the Australian Maritime College (AMC), the Bachelor of Engineering (Specialisation) with Honours equips students with a combination of core knowledge and transferable skills that are highly valued by employers.
- Enjoy access to world-class research facilities at Australia’s national institute for maritime and maritime-related education, training and research
- Choose from three specialisations: Naval Architecture, Ocean Engineering, or Marine and Offshore Engineering
- Learn through hands-on practical experience including individual and group projects, laboratory work, and time on our flagship training vessel MV Bluefin
- Enjoy innovative teaching and mentorship by highly qualified staff, many of whom are national and world leaders in their field.
Course objectives
The Bachelor of Engineering (Specialisation) (Honours) programme is a distinctive Maritime Engineering degree and the only of its kind in the Southern hemisphere. The four-year programmes are accredited by Engineers Australia and are 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 our 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.
The final year of the program at AQF8 consists of capstone projects such as research project and design project. The integration of experiential learning, application of authentic real world learning to problem solving and professional skills will enable students to apply to these capstone honours projects.
Learning outcomes
1. NavArch: Rationally apply comprehensive knowledge of the fundamental principles underpinning maritime engineering, with advanced knowledge of ocean vehicle design, hydrodynamics, ship structures, and/or on-board systems and equipment specific to the naval architecture discipline, using creativity, critical thinking and judgement.
OceanEng: Rationally apply comprehensive knowledge of the fundamental principles underpinning maritime engineering, with advanced knowledge of the design of offshore to coastal installations, subsea platforms and additional equipment and techniques for operations in the maritime environment specific to the ocean engineering discipline, using creativity, critical thinking and judgement.
MarOffEng: Rationally apply comprehensive knowledge of the fundamental principles underpinning maritime engineering, with advanced knowledge of the design, procurement and installation of mechanical, electrical and thermal systems, specific to the marine and offshore engineering discipline, using creativity, critical thinking and judgement.
2. Apply knowledge of research principles and management methods to devise, plan and execute a piece of engineering research with limited supervision.
3. Apply problem solving, design and decision-making methodologies to identify complex problems in both the maritime and wider engineering fields and to formulate innovative solutions with intellectual independence.
4. NavArch: Apply abstraction and analysis to complex problems specific to ship design and construction industries and the wider maritime sector whilst concurrently considering the implications of the solution in a global and sustainable context using appropriate engineering methods and tools.
OceanEng: Apply abstraction and analysis to complex problems specific to the design and development of offshore, subsea and coastal infrastructure and operations in the wider maritime sector whilst concurrently considering the implications of the solution in a global and sustainable context using appropriate engineering methods and tools.
MarOffEng: Apply abstraction and analysis to complex problems specific to the maritime engineering industries whilst concurrently considering the implications of the solution in a global and sustainable context using appropriate engineering methods and tools.
5. Demonstrate a high level of communication skills in professional practice and articulate complex knowledge, by written and oral means, to specialist and nonspecialist audiences; including clients, multi-disciplinary and multi-cultural project teams and stakeholders.
6. Demonstrate entrepreneurship and creativity, professional accountability and ethical conduct through the application of design, research and project management techniques while concurrently displaying an awareness of professional engineering practice.
7. Review personal performance, demonstrate independent initiatives and leadership as a means of managing continuing professional development, wellbeing and lifelong learning through engagement with stakeholders, colleagues and members of other professions.
Work placement
Students complete a mandatory minimum of 12 weeks work experience (exposure to professional practice). This work experience is undertaken in the unit JEE495 Engineering Professional Practice.
Career outcomes
Naval Architecture
The Bachelor of Engineering (Naval Architecture) with Honours prepares students for careers in the shipbuilding industry, designing and constructing luxury super yachts, sailing and power craft, destroyers and patrol boats for the defence industry, underwater vehicles and submarines, and big ocean cruise liners; the high-speed ferry industry; insurance sector; and marine consultancy firms. It is also an excellent gateway to a career in government in the areas of commercial shipping, transport policy and administration.
Ocean Engineering
The Bachelor of Engineering (Ocean Engineering) with Honours prepares students for careers designing and managing the installation of offshore, sub-sea and coastal structures for the oil and gas industry, in particular the offshore industry; the renewable energy industry; coastal and environmental engineering; marine consultancy firms; and ocean research organisations.
Marine and Offshore Engineering
The Bachelor of Engineering (Marine and Offshore Engineering) with Honours is unique to AMC and focuses on the design, manufacture, deployment and commissioning of machinery and systems associated with the marine and offshore industries. Marine systems focus on the selection, deployment and commissioning of machinery, mechanical and electrical systems and operational systems designed to support the ship and underwater vehicle industry.
There are many exciting developments being driven by increased fuel costs and the need to lower the environmental impact of vessels and oil rigs. You can get involved in engineering alternative marine power systems or improving crude oil extraction to reduce emissions while maximising yield.
There is international demand for qualified graduates in the following areas:
- Ship Building
- Alternative energy
- Marine survey
- Statutory bodies
- Military
- Industrial process and power generation sectors.
Professional Recognition
Graduates of the Bachelor of Engineering (Specialisation) with Honours may be eligible for membership of:
- Engineers Australia as Graduate Professional Engineer
- Royal Institution of Naval Architects
- The Institute of Marine Engineering Science and Technology
