Y22 Bachelor of Engineering (Marine and Offshore Systems) | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Marine and Offshore Systems engineers are involved with the design, manufacture, deployment and commissioning of systems associated with the marine and offshore oil and gas industries. This course is suited to students interested in the large scale mechanical and electro-mechanical systems used in the oil and gas industries, such as fuel-injected turbocharged engines, large gas turbine generators, or oil and gas rigs. Graduates of this course will have the opportunity to work in areas such as engineering alternative marine power systems, or improving crude oil extraction to reduce emissions while maximising yield.
Marine and Offshore Systems engineers have strong employment opportunities in many sectors of industry including oil and gas, ship building, alternative energy, marine survey, defence, industrial process, power generation, and consulting. Graduates can also apply for any suitable position open to mechanical engineers.
This course is offered in collaboration with the Australian Maritime College at the University of Tasmania in Launceston, Tasmania. The first two years of the course are delivered at ECU's Joondalup Campus. The final two years are delivered at the Australian Maritime College in Launceston and students will need to relocate to Launceston for this portion of the course.
