Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering

NA&ME graduates serve as Coast Guard officers in a wide spectrum of Coast Guard missions and careers. The program provides graduates a solid foundation for professional engineering practice, both in and outside the Coast Guard. Many NA&ME majors go on to pursue post-graduate study in naval architecture, marine engineering, mechanical engineering and other related fields, as well as a wide range of other subjects and degrees.

NA&ME Career Paths

For NA&ME graduates, there are two primary engineering sub-specialties: Marine Safety Engineering and Naval Engineering. But with their extensive training and education, NA&ME graduates are well prepared, and highly sought after, for a wide range of careers and assignment opportunities.

Marine Safety Engineering (Prevention)

Marine Safety professionals promote global maritime safety, security and environmental protection. This is achieved through the inspection of ships and boats, examinations of foreign vessels, waterways management, marine casualty investigations, and technical engineering jobs involving the design and construction of leading-edge ships.

Naval Engineering

The Coast Guard Naval Engineering program delivers a fleet of safe, effective and reliable Coast Guard ships and boats. Naval Engineers are involved in the complete lifecycle of these assets, including the design, acquisition, sustainment and disposal of ships and boats.

Other Career Opportunities

NA&ME graduates find numerous career options in the Coast Guard as well as in professional industry. Career paths include: Ocean (civil) engineering, operations afloat, operations ashore, aviation, law enforcement, financial-related duties and more.

NA&ME graduates are well positioned to enter industry when they leave the Coast Guard, where jobs are plentiful in this field.

In the group Ship Design exercise, the assessment is based on the final report and an oral examination. Likewise for the individual research project.  

Practical and transferrable skills are evaluated from the assessment of technical reports, problem solving exercises, assessment of computational skills, tests and oral presentations .

Contact time takes a variety of forms, including lectures, tutorials, project supervision, demonstrations, student feedback and consultation hours (where staff are available for consultation), email, and situations where feedback on assessed work is given. This is supplemented by self-directed learning to build up knowledge and skills.

Each module has a credit value that indicates the average learning hours you will spend on the required content. One credit typically equates to 10 hours of learning, which includes all contact time, self-directed study and assessment.

The contact time for each of your 15 credit taught modules will typically include 20-30 hours of teaching activity over the term of its delivery, with the balance then comprised of self-directed learning and working on your assessments. You will have ongoing contact with teaching staff via each module’s online discussion forum, which is typically used for discussing and clarifying concepts or assessment matters, and will have the opportunity to access additional support via regular student feedback and consultation hours with module leaders and programme directors.

Your project module will include regular contact with your project supervisor(s), who will guide and support you throughout your project. You will dedicate most of your time on this module to carrying out research in connection with your project and writing up your final report.

The taught part of the programme is comprised of six subject modules: five compuslory modules and one further module chosen from a list of optional or elective modules. The degree is divided into three major elements. Initially students are provided with the necessary advanced analytical skills by a series of lecture courses covering the naval architectural disciplines of ship structures, ship dynamics and ship hydrodynamics, with modules in each..

Having studied these specific subjects, students have the opportunity to practice their newly acquired skills and to study the implications of interdisciplinary interactions in the second phase of the programme, a Ship Design Exercise. Finally, students are given the opportunity to hone their research skills in an Individual Project.

What excites you about your career?

• My career is exciting because I can combine intellectual freedom and interesting technical challenges with opportunities to travel the world and interact with people from industry, government, and academia. 
• Getting a Michigan NAME degree means that wherever you go, you will see a familiar face and people will know where you came from. My Michigan NAME experience has opened up so many doors. 
• The ability to choose how I want to apply my knowledge and where I want to do that is amazing, and not something that everyone gets. 

Reflection on Time Spent at UM

• The best part of joining NAME was joining a department that follows you long after you graduate (in a good way). I made friends that I still regularly see and talk to today- even while living on a different continent. I still regularly see Michigan professors and students at conferences. I met my husband in the NAME department! A NAME degree is wonderful and will give you so many opportunities to do good work and travel around the world. But in getting that degree, you’ll also get to interact with great people that you’ll still know years down the line. They don’t call us the Michigan mafia for nothing!

Advice for Students:

• Anyone can be an engineer! Even if you don’t see a lot of people who look like you or seem like they come from a similar background, you can still be a successful engineer without giving up what makes you yourself. 
• Sometimes you have to work hard to convince people that you deserve a seat at the table. But work hard and you will convince them!
• It can be challenging, but it’s worth it. You just have to believe in yourself first: that you deserve to be there, and that you can do it. It sounds cheesy, but it’s true. If you don’t believe in yourself or believe that you deserve to be there, no one else will. But to have confidence that you are just as capable and qualified as anyone else, then everyone else will (eventually) follow suit. Once you’ve decided that you want to be an engineer, you can do it.

After serving on an operational Coast Guard Cutter, I rededicated myself to pursuing my technical education and accepted a position in the USCG Marine Engineering Post Graduate Program, where I attended the University of Michigan and earned dual Master of Science degrees in Naval Architecture and Mechanical Engineering in 2012. From there, I served at the Coast Guard Marine Safety Center (MSC) in Arlington, VA on the Coast Guard’s elite Salvage Engineering Response Team, a group of highly trained naval architects who stand ready 24-hours a day to support Coast Guard field commanders responding to emergent vessel casualty situations following groundings, collisions, and similar casualties. I combined my strengths and passion to pursue technology when I chose to begin my civilian career at the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Lab (JHU/APL) in 2015. During my first year at JHU/APL, I developed an autonomous unmanned surface platform with a revolutionary underwater localization technology to support our submarine force. With a diverse background in applying knowledge to develop live ocean systems and maritime solutions, I earned a promotion to Section Supervisor at the Lab, and I am one of the Lab’s subject matter experts in Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering.

How does your Master’s degree differentiate you from others?

My degree enabled me to contribute higher on a technical level having received exposure to various technical concepts covered Michigan’s program. Understanding non-linear behavior in fundamental processes, tackling problems in design optimization, and working in teams during group projects all contributed to my ability to take vague and not very well defined problems and develop novel solutions or insights when collaborating with others.

Reflection on Time Spent at U-M

I am a big fan of FIRST Robotics competitions and mentoring youth. I am not interested in solving easy problems, as I believe we can always push ourselves to reach our true potential. My advice to students would be to tackle your coursework and projects with an open mind because there is usually a piece of an assignment or experience that you can leverage in the future for your career.

University of Michigan, MSE Naval Architecture & Marine Engineering, 2011

Outside of undergraduate internships, this is the first company I worked for after graduating. I was recruited out of the MHL after a company-sponsored test program that I helped the lab manage. I’ve spent my career so far working on multiple internal research and conceptual studies, early-stage project development, and then joining project teams to help integrate the new technology into active projects. I was able to support the development of the deepest installed FPSO in the world and was one of the engineering leads for the first in-situ replacement of tendon connectors for a Tension Leg Platform. My newest role is working on the hull and mooring systems for Floating Offshore Wind Turbines, bringing lessons learned from the offshore oil & gas industry, and applying them to the emerging offshore renewable energy market.

My Master’s allowed me to hit the ground running in the technical aspects of the job. Working in an R&D environment, there’s a lot of development from scratch, so the additional depth and breadth of knowledge provided by the graduate program was a great asset. In my initial few years, having the Master’s definitely helped with my technical credibility, while I built up my experience. Doing independent study projects with a few professors provided good lessons in research project planning. Working in the MHL gave a good understanding of how engineering principles could be applied, and a few difficult lessons on how sometimes things can go wrong if you don’t fully appreciate the complexity of what you’re doing.

Advice to Students

Try to get as much hands-on experience you can, outside of the classroom. Student engineering teams, research, time in engineering labs, all of those provide opportunities to put theory into practice, which is a huge help. Specifically for NAME, involvement in SNAME and Quarterdeck provides great exposure and networking opportunities to people in the industry. Outside of classroom and professional activities, find student organizations that excite you, whether sporting, social, service, etc.

• Don’t be afraid to ask the department for help. Being a student athlete at Michigan was only possible thanks to the flexibility of the Naval Architecture department, and especially scheduling help from Warren Noone. I was able to take classes out of the “traditional sequence,” in order to fit my curriculum into 4.5 years, and balance my athletic commitment. Warren was always open to a good chat, and a pre-exam pep talk. It’s a small department, which serves as a family within the large University.

Right after graduating from the University of Michigan, I worked at NSWC Panama City Division as part of my service commitment to the SMART Scholarship. During this time, I worked on interesting projects and with great people, but I got the entrepreneurial itch. Consequently, after NSWC Panama City I jumped into establishing a multi-physics analysis firm, where I currently work on organizing proposals, collaborating with other colleagues, and dreaming on what I have always dreamed about—cool boats, science, and technology. If I was suddenly placed in my current position without the experience I gained from past academic and professional projects, I would not have the confidence in continuing this path.

My Master’s degrees provide me a broad technical knowledge which I can tap into when analyzing new problems and solutions, the humbleness in knowing that there is always more information to learn from, and the confidence to explore new material—both individually and with others.

The UMich communities are a great way to connect with others and make new friends. I cherish the time I did in the Ballroom Dance Team and Michigan Cycling Team. These student group experiences are ones that you will be hard-pressed to find after college, so do not hesitate in joining a community.

After college, Jess worked as a Marine Engineer at ExxonMobil for just over a year before transferring to Boeing to work as a Fluid Systems Standards Engineer at The Boeing Company

• I work with complex fluid systems across all airplane programs and at all phases of production, from new design to legacy aircraft. The projects and scope of work are really exciting. I love that I can ‘see’ so much of the company in my daily work. I am constantly learning, and I get to manage complicated problems in a company where I am empowered.
• Switching from the energy industry to the aviation industry is a huge career highlight of mine!
• I loved my time at the University of Michigan, especially my time in the NA&ME department! My favorite student organization was Quarterdeck. I had so many cool, fun experiences engaging with the maritime industry and I was able to develop many interpersonal skills that I use in my career through Quarterdeck. I will also always fondly remember late nights and early mornings senior year in the computer lab working on design projects.
• Work hard, and enjoy the work! The University of Michigan is a competitive school, that will open so many doors for you. It’s also a place with great people and a strong community, so make friends and study hard!

I started at Shell immediately after graduate school, and for the past 4 years have mainly been involved in 2 multi-billion dollar projects, Appomattox and Vito. Both are semi-submersible floating production facilities in more than 1500 meters of water. My job has primarily focused on marine aspects of these platforms, including marine transportation, platform installation, offshore mooring design and installation, marine tow, as well as hull design and construction.

• I get to play an integral part of the life cycles of multi-billion dollar assets every day, which presents a different set of exciting challenges. Having the capability to be able to see how choices we make in a design stage are implemented into real life is a humbling experience, especially for projects that have a life cycle of concept design to execution of multiple years. 
• I was part of a science and engineering fraternity (called Triangle), that also doubled as social group, which brought many like-minded people together. I loved the camaraderie that it brought, but there was a strong academic focus which helped keep my discipline to study and focus on classes. 
• I enjoyed Quarterdeck society has it brought industry back to connect with students on a weekly basis, and served as a platform to make connections. 
• It is incredible how many of the classes that I took at Michigan I use on a regular basis, as an engineer in Shell you are expected to be multi-disciplined. 
• Take advantage of a study abroad! Put in the work during your sophomore or junior year to understand what universities across the world have applicable transfer credits for your undergraduate classes. You would be surprised how flexible different classes are, and how you can rearrange schedules to meet credit requirements.
• Take advantage of internship opportunities to explore the different industries that can be applicable within the NAME discipline. I was fortunate enough to work in a naval shipyard, a commercial yard, and the oil and gas industry in three consecutive years, which enabled me to know what type of work I wanted to be involved in for my career.

Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) (Naval Architecture)

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

Domestic or international students.

Ships and marine vehicles can be classified into military vessels which include frigates, destroyers, patrol vessels, aircraft carriers, mine hunters and submarines; trading vessels which include cargo and container ships; and commercial vessels which include fishing boats, tugs, dredges, pilot boats, lighthouse supply craft, servicing vessels for oil rigs, crew transfer, passenger and vehicle ferries, floating cranes, and other specialised ships and pleasure craft. These three categories of marine vehicles can be in the form of a monohull (the usual single-hull ship or boat), a multihull catamaran or trimaran (a twin or triple hull vessel), or dynamically supported craft such as hovercraft (an air-cushion vehicle) or hydrofoil (a vessel that is lifted out of the water by submerged wings).  

Naval architects must be conversant with a wide variety of skills, including most forms of engineering and marine architecture. A ship must be a completely self-sufficient vehicle containing several systems and able to withstand the loads from the sea.

Study naval architecture at UNSW Canberra

This program runs in parallel with Mechanical Engineering for the first two years. 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 (Honours) in Naval Architecture. The proviso is that the courses studied at the other institution are equivalent.

Building on a foundation in the engineering sciences and Mechanical Engineering in particular, the third and fourth year of study in the Naval Architecture degree covers ship stability, ship hydrodynamics, ship resistance and propulsion, ship design, ship structures, seaworthiness, engineering management and engineering materials.

Kickstart your career as a naval architect

Naval architecture firms and consultants are significant employers of naval architects. Naval architects working in the field of high-speed ferries have been particularly successful. Australia holds the leading position in the research and development of passenger and cargo multihulls.  

The Commonwealth Department of Defence White Paper (2016) reaffirmed the Government’s commitment to a strong, internationally competitive and sustainable Australian naval shipbuilding industry which will rely heavily on naval architects. The Commonwealth’s Naval Shipbuilding Plan (2017) identified naval architects as key enablers in the Australian naval shipbuilding workforce. Employment of naval architects within the defence sector occurs within the Department of Defence and the RAN. 

In addition, federal and state government departments and statutory authorities such as AMSA and state transport departments employ naval architects, as do international classification societies such as Lloyd’s Register, DNV and Bureau Veritas. 

Graduates of the program are expected to meet UNSW Graduate Capabilities embodied in the Program Learning Outcomes and Engineers Australia Stage 1 Competencies. 

Chief of the Defence Force Program

The Chief of the Defence Force (CDF) programs offer the opportunity for students entering UNSW Canberra with a high Entrance Rank, and who maintain a high level of performance in their studies, to undertake research in a range of disciplines that will develop their critical thinking and independent research skills beyond that available in the standard bachelor degree programs.

The range of CDF programs is characterised by the inclusion of specialist courses in critical analysis and/or research methods appropriate to the area of study. All programs also include discipline-specific research projects. The research projects will be supervised by academic staff from the relevant discipline. With the approval of the Head of School, multi- or cross-disciplinary projects may be undertaken. Students in the research courses may work independently or as part of a team, depending on the nature of the project undertaken, though all students will submit an individual assessment. The final assessment will be based on a written paper or report and oral presentations. 

Throughout the program, students will be engaged in cohort activities so as to develop and maintain their interest and continuing involvement in the program via invited lectures, seminars, general reading and social events.
