About

About the course

Course content

The study program track shares a common maritime engineering project theme across all courses. This is addressed through the perspective and methodology of each course to deliver discipline specialization, as well as linking the different scopes and aspects into a holistic engineering view. The student will specialize in a selected topic related to this and write a project report that investigates a specific problem using scientific methods.
