The Graduate Diploma of Maritime Engineering (Specialisation) program will provide the opportunity for engineering graduates to gain an in-depth exposure to a range of subjects relevant to the development, procurement and through-life support of marine engineering plant. The degree will prepare students for making high level independent judgements in areas of planning, design, operational, technical and management functions in a maritime engineering context. Students will acquire an in-depth understanding of a topic and related research skills through a research project that is undertaken in a chosen field of specialist study.The fields of study encompassed through two major specialisations and electives are:Technology Management which focuses on the knowledge required to develop a career in technical management across a broad range of maritime sectors. It extends undergraduate engineering knowledge into aspects of ship design, propulsion systems and associated auxiliary machinery. Management theory in a variety of specialisms is acquired and critically applied through prescribed and electives units.Naval Engineering which focuses on the knowledge necessary to work in maritime sectors and develop a career in areas of technical design and the systems engineering of civil and naval projects. It extends undergraduate engineering knowledge into areas related to the design and performance of surface vessels and submarines.
