Maritime Engineering - Focus area
The study plan is not mandatory but is a recommended study plan that fulfills the requirements. All other study plans also have to fulfill the requirements, including maximum 2 years of study for obtaining 120 ECTS.
Ships, offshore wind turbines, wave energy converters, and aquaculture facilities are all engineered structures operating in the open ocean. The discipline provides methods to design, construct, test, and operate these important structures in the most challenging of operating environments - the sea. The focus is to develop safe, cost-effective, and efficient structures, that have minimal adverse impacts on the local and global environments. Sustainability, in its broadest sense, is therefore something that is constantly pursued.
Maritime Engineering
Technical structures in and on the sea, i.e. ships and offshore structures. It may be structures ranging from large container ships to drilling rigs and production platforms for oil and gas. The specialisation covers the design, dimensioning, construction, and operation of these maritime structures in consideration of safety, economy, and the surrounding environment.
The list below includes elective courses recommended for the Engineering Design and Product Development specialization. The courses are not required to be taken to obtain the specialization.
