This course is offered in collaboration with the Australian Maritime College at the University of Tasmania in Launceston, Tasmania. Marine and Offshore engineers are involved with the design, manufacture, deployment and commissioning of systems associated with the marine and offshore oil and gas industries. This course is suited to students interested in the large scale mechanical and electro-mechanical systems used in the oil and gas industries, such as fuel-injected turbocharged engines, large gas turbine generators, or oil and gas rigs.
This course information may be updated and amended immediately prior to semester. To ensure you have the correct outline, please check it again at the beginning of semester. In particular please check the course requirements and the unit and unit set offerings, as these differ according to course delivery location.
Students will be required to undertake a minimum of 12 weeks relevant industry work experience. This will normally be undertaken during a vacation period.
This course has been Accredited by: Engineers Australia.
Academic standard for the following admission pathways:
All applicants are required to have Mathematics: Methods ATAR, with equivalents considered, and Physics ATAR or Engineering Studies ATAR, with equivalents considered. It is desirable that all applicants have Mathematics: Specialist ATAR, with equivalents considered.
Portfolio pathway applications are not accepted for this course.
The first two years can be studied at ECU's Joondalup campus. Applicants from South West WA will be able to study only the first year (up to eight foundation units) of this degree at ECUs Bunbury Campus, which may include attending a short set of lab sessions at Joondalup Campus by the end of each semester. After completing these eight units, Bunbury students will need to attend ECUs Joondalup Campus to complete the remaining ECU units. This option is only available for domestic students living in the South West region of WA.
The final two years of this course are delivered at the Australian Maritime College in Launceston. Students will be required to relocate to Launceston for this portion of the course.
Students are required to complete 32 units (16 units are AMC units) and a 12-week approved practicum.
