University of Tasmania

The course is designed to meet the engineering needs of the marine and offshore industries by providing professional engineers with the specialized knowledge required by these industries. This course is comes under undergraduate program .The uniquely maritime focus of AMC together with the wide variety of specialized facilities, provide the graduates with a strong "hands on" approach to complement their theoretical studies, emphasizing the engineering systems associated with the marine and offshore industries. In addition to the standard Bachelor of Engineering (Marine and Offshore Systems), the Co-operative Education program provides students with an additional year of paid work placements in relevant workplaces.
Core skills and knowledge of maritime industry.
Major studies focus on gaining of knowledge in a variety of sectors of the industry and types of engineering work as well as to evaluate specific companies.
Applications will be considered on an individual basis. Students will normally need obtain a Credit Average through the BE degree course to be able to continue in the Co-operative Degree programme. Students may apply to revert from the Co-operative Degree programme to the regular BE programme at any time.Completion of Year 12 or equivalent, with mid to upper level Mathematics and a Science subject (Physics or Chemistry recommended).Marine Engineers with Chief Engineer's Certificate of Competency, AMC graduates with Advanced Diploma of Marine Engineering or Bachelor of Technology (Marine Engineering) and graduates in relevant disciplines from other institutes may be accepted, with appropriate advanced standing .AMC may consider applications from candidates who do not have the above qualifications for entry but who seek admission on the basis of experience gained in the industry or government organizations.
Students with substantial experience in the relevant engineering disciplines may also be granted exemptions from appropriate units through the RPL process(sufficient evidence for completion of units in syllabi is required). Students granted credit transfer are encouraged to attend a free two week refresher course in mathematics and mechanics conducted by NCMEH staff prior to the commencement of each semester.
This course prepares students for shore-based employment in marine and marine-related industries, thermal power plants, hotels and offshore industries as process, operation, maintenance, research and design engineers and engineer managers.The year of practical experience provided in the Bachelor of Engineering (Marine and Offshore Systems - Co-operative Education) provides graduates with even more industry relevant work experience.
5 years (4 years of study + 1 year of work placements) - part time study is not available
