Design Project (Part:1/2) unit (JEE421)

Launceston

Introduction

This is the capstone design unit for all three BMarEng degrees streams (NA, OE, MOE). This unit consolidates the knowledge and capabilities developed through previous years of study. Maritime engineering design involves developing complex solutions through the combined inputs of various discipline specialists. This unit develops further management skills including, the ability to work with team members from other fields of study.
