Engineering at Sea JEE485
Introduction
This unit facilitates translation of theory learned across a range of prior and concurrent subjects into practical application via hands-on projects conducted aboard a vessel at sea. Additionally, students are engaged in marine operations which expose relevant issues unique to the deep-sea environment and are then tasked with addressing those issues to ensure the safe completion of the operation. An emphasis on human safety, professional and environmental ethics and integrity and the development of a sense of practicality underpins the context in which all such activities and projects are undertaken. Project research and planning activities will precede 5 days of ship-borne activities and the completion of a concise report subsequent to the voyage.
