Focus Course - Marine Engineering and Nautical Science
During this Focus course at The University of Southampton, you will learn the basic principles of designing ships, yachts and marine structures in order to understand how the world's oceans can be exploited to harness environmentally safe energy, all under the guidance of expert staff and students in Ship Science at the School of Engineering Sciences.
During the course, you will:-
- discover how to make a structure strong enough to survive the harsh marine environment
- carry out experiments in a towing tank to discover what it takes to power a ship
- find out what it takes to design a marine propeller
Talks, lectures and seminars from graduates in Ship Science, research and the marine industry will show you a wealth of subjects and careers to be gained in the marine world, from designing autonomous robot submarines to marine environmental energy extraction to advanced racing yacht design.
Working in teams, you will apply your imagination and new-found skills to see who can generate the most electricity from tidal energy. Applying specific design, build and test principles, you will present your findings in competition with other students at the end of the course.
Living in typical student halls during the week you will be able to ask students on this degree course what it's really like at university. |
