The Bachelor of Engineering (Marine and Offshore Systems - Co-operative Education) is designed to meet the engineering needs of the marine and offshore industries by providing professional engineers with the specialised knowledge required by these industries.
The course is currently the only undergraduate programme in Australia servicing the above requirements, as it integrates relevant sections of the mechanical, electrical, systems, and civil engineering disciplines, while maintaining a maritime/offshore emphasis.
The course prepares students for employment in the marine/offshore engineering industries, including those involved in the design, development and maintenance of marine machinery, shipbuilding, marine classification societies and statutory authorities, power generation, offshore oil and gas production, and naval engineering.
The uniquely maritime focus of AMC together with the wide variety of specialised facilities, provide the graduates with a strong "hands on" approach to complement their theoretical studies, emphasising the engineering systems associated with the marine and offshore industries.
In addition to the standard Bachelor of Engineerying (Marine and Offshore Systems), the Co-operative Education program provides students with an additional year of paid work placements in relevant workplaces.

Special Requirements
|
Satisfactory completion of Year 12 (TCE, VCE, HSC or equivalent) with middle to upper level Mathematics and a science subject (Physics or Chemistry recommended).
Students will normally need obtain a Credit Average through the BE degree course to be able to continue in the Co-operative Degree programme.
AMC will also consider applications from candidates who do not have the above qualifications for entry but who seek admission on basis of experience gained in industry or government organisations.

Career opportunities
|
The course prepares students for shore-based employment in marine and marine-related industries, thermal power plants, hotels and offshore industries as process, operation, maintenance, research and design engineers and engineer managers.
The year of practical experience provided in the Bachelor of Engineering (Marine and Offshore Systems - Co-operative Education) provides graduates with even more industry relevant work experience.
