Introduction

This unit provides an in-depth exploration of the fundamental principles and advanced concepts in maritime science, engineering, and technology. It is designed to equip students with the critical knowledge and skills necessary to excel in the maritime industry and related fields. Students will develop a comprehensive understanding of maritime systems, aquaculture, and ocean renewable energy technologies. They will gain proficiency in applying advanced engineering principles and methods adhering to relevant regulatory standards and guidelines. Students will engage in a variety of hands-on activities, including simulations, case studies, and project-based learning, which are designed to mirror real-world maritime scenarios. By completing this unit, students will acquire a comprehensive understanding necessary for the practical application of maritime science and technical knowledge in their advanced studies and professional careers.
