This flexible programme combines study in specialist, advanced engineering technologies underpinned with training in sustainability. The programme has been developed with direct industrial involvement to provide you with a solid understanding of modern, sustainable engineering. As well as gaining an understanding of how sustainable engineering applies to Marine Technology, this programme will also provide you with key transferable skills to aid your employability.The course is designed for experienced or newly qualified engineers in:Naval ArchitectureMarine EngineeringMechanical EngineeringCivil EngineeringElectrical Engineering or related disciplinesThe Department of Naval Architecture, Ocean & Marine Engineering (NAOME), a leading institution in Scotland, offers excellent teaching and research facilities in naval architecture, ocean and marine engineering, which expands your career opportunities in naval architecture, marine, offshore oil and gas industry.
This class provides a structured introduction to the design management process, issues and tools.
The class aims to introduce elements of financial engineering that are applied to reduce risk of business insolvency and enhance the financial robustness of business enterprises.
This class aims to provide you with skills relating to the use of engineering practices in project management with particular respect to the effective and efficient use of resources.
You'll explore the entire process of structuring a risk problem, modelling it, supporting and communicating recommendations, both theoretically and in practice. Risk management is linked with decision analysis in so far as we explore decision-making under uncertainty and it has links with quantitative business analysis as we explore the use of statistics in understanding risk. However, the topic has some unique attributes such as risk communication and the role that experts play in risk assessment.
This class aims to provide you with an understanding of the operation of modern electrical power systems along with the techniques to undertake a basic technical analysis of key electrical devices and systems.
Against the background of international commitments on atmospheric emissions, diminishing fossil fuel resources and the liberalisation of energy markets, this class examines sustainable options for energy production, supply and consumption. The aim is to give you an understanding of current trends and to enable a critical evaluation of emerging ideas, technologies and policies.
This class aims to provide you with a theoretical and practical knowledge of the finite element method and the skills required to analyse floating structures with ANSYS, a commercially available finite element analysis program. Particular emphasis will be given to ANSYS graphical user interface (GUI) and Workbench platform.
This module aims to provide students with an understanding of the underlying physics associated with scale model testing of wind wave and tidal current devices and the ability to execute and analyse hydrodynamic tests to assess the performance of marine energy generating systems.
This class provides you with an understanding of the ways in which the maritime environment can offer a significant sustainable contribution, to global energy demands. Also you'll undertake aero/hydrodynamic and structural assessments of the design and operation of marine energy generating systems.
This class aims to provide you with an understanding of the concepts of sustainability and sustainable development. The social, environmental and economic impact of development strategies will be identified and the mitigation of negative impacts discussed.
