Y24 Bachelor of Engineering (Naval Architecture) | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Naval architects are professional engineers who design and oversee the construction and repair of marine craft and various offshore structures. This includes naval craft, passenger and cargo ships, submarines, high-speed ferries and catamarans, tugs, yachts and offshore drilling platforms. Naval Architects understand the properties of the environments in which marine craft operate and determine ways to optimise their operations to meet operational, safety and performance goals. Australia leads the world in the design and construction of high-speed aluminium craft and Naval Architects are in great demand in this sector. Naval Architects are also in demand in companies that design and build leisure craft, and sailing and power yachts. Many of the vessels of the Royal Australian Navy deployed in the defence of the nation have been built in Australian yards with considerable Australian design input; these include patrol boats, mine hunters, frigates and submarines. Naval Architects also have career opportunities in other sectors of the marine industry including oil and gas, marine surveying, and consulting.
