MSc in Marine Technology (Newcastle University in Singapore)

Tipo
Master (ISCED 2011 level 7)
Idioma

Inglés

Costo Singapore student - S$18000, International student - S$30000

The MSc in Marine Technology is a part-time Masters Degree programme that caters for working engineers, executives and managers in the local marine and offshore industry, with minimum disruption to their demanding work commitments. This dynamic course responds to the challenges and demands of the global maritime sector.

The programme develops the skills of graduate engineers working in the marine and offshore industry in advanced technologies, design, engineering, management, safety, statutory rules and regulations, and business. The students will also develop transferable professional skills, such as technical writing, which are fostered through post-training assignments and then finally a dissertation. 

Type of Programme

Post-graduate taught degree, Blended Learning.

Resultados del aprendizaje

The learning objectives are:

  • To introduce students to advanced marine systems and the state of the art of marine engineering design, including design principles, methodology and tools.
  • To give students an understanding of the theory and practice of identification, modelling and control.
  • To introduce students to the role of regulations and their impact on vessel design, construction and operation: health and safety, and environment.
  • To examine the role of the International Maritime Organisation and classification societies.
  • To familiarise students with the work and responsibilities of the marine surveyor, and in particular the procedures employed in structural and machinery surveys of ships and offshore installations.
  • To increase awareness of structural behaviour and to develop advanced structural and material concepts.
  • To design plates and stiffened panels.
  • To develop the knowledge and skills to undertake elastic and plastic response analysis of stiffened plate structures.
  • To gain the knowledge and understanding of finite elements applied to marine structures. 
  • To address theoretical and practical aspects of structural response analysis in the marine field.
  • To develop the working knowledge and skills to undertake finite element analysis for marine structures.
  • To gain knowledge of the main aspects of subsea engineering from the origins of oil and gas in deep water, including offshore design and production in subsea engineering, and the functions of subsea engineering components, their installation and operation. Overall design and installation of subsea pipelines and risers, corrosion control in subsea pipelines and structural analysis of subsea pipelines under various loading conditions
  • To equip students with engineering design, design philosophy, design tactics, design models, adaptive and variant design, the design environment, physical and regulatory influences, tug and multi-purpose workboat design, divergent design solutions, design of fishing vessels, fishing vessel stability and motion analysis, safety and sustainability, the ship design problem, measures of design efficiency, design relationships and initial point design methods, influence of design parameters on performance, mass estimation and contemporary influences on lightship, hull-form distortion, bow and stern refinement, cause and effect understanding through response surfaces, optimization of hull-form for resistance and seakeeping.
  • To equip students with the knowledge to understand the interaction between the external loading and structural behaviour of ocean engineering systems. This will be achieved by teaching advanced modelling techniques in ocean environment, hydrodynamics, rigid-body and structural dynamics and structural synthesis.
  • To develop knowledge and understanding of: nonlinear wave theory and its applications, calculation of loads and oscillating motions of floating structures and numerical methods used in hydrodynamics calculations.
  • To gain the knowledge and understanding of different configurations, components and equipment used in mooring and riser systems. To address the theoretical and practical aspects of mooring and riser systems. To develop students' skills in designing and analysing mooring and riser systems. To gain the knowledge and understanding of elemental concepts of drilling engineering.
  • To present an opportunity to undertake advanced research on an appropriate marine related topic working largely alone, and to present in a structured form the results of that research. The research may take the form of a critical review, a computational study, an experimental investigation, or some combination of the two/three. To acquire knowledge in a specialised topic, possibly outside the scope of the taught modules.

Prerrequisitos

  • 2:2 honours degree, or international equivalent, in a marine technology subject or relevant engineering subject. Relevant experience is desirable, although not essential.
  • English Language Entry Requirements : IELTS overall 6.5  (with a minimum of 5.5 in all sub-skills) or equivalent
