Plan Outline

This plan is for a major in Naval Architecture within the program 3710.

Naval Architecture is the branch of engineering, which is concerned with the design, building, and utilisation of all types of ships and marine vehicles.

Naval architects must be conversant with a wide variety of skills, including most forms of engineering and architecture. This is because a ship or a boat must be a completely self-sufficient vehicle containing a number of systems and able to withstand the loads from the sea. Yachts, fishing boats, frigates, ferries, catamarans and pleasure craft are just a few of the types of vessels that are studied during the program.

The Faculty has approved an arrangement whereby students who satisfy the requirements of the first two years of a Mechanical Engineering four year degree program at any Australasian tertiary institution may be admitted to Years 3 and 4 of the program leading to the Bachelor of Engineering degree in Naval Architecture. The proviso is that the Head of the School is satisfied that the courses studied at the other institution are equivalent, and he gives his recommendation.

Note:
  • The first program structures listed (Years 1 - 4) are under the new flexible structure for students who commenced in 2006 and onwards.
  • The program structure for students who enrolled prior to 2006 (Years 4) is listed after the flexible structure.
