i am studying naval architecture and i love it...its like hybrid between civil and mechanical engineering...but it involves a lot of maths, physics and other engineering subjects...so it is not easy at all I can tell you that it's a great profession. It's very challenging because it involves all branches of physics and mathematics, such as mechanics, thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, solid mechanics, statistics, mathematics, electricty. .. It also involves naval engineering subjects such as stability, seakeeping, ship structure, hydrodynamics, and more. At the end of the studies, you really gain a deep understanding of how the world around us works, unlike some other branches of engineering that are closely related to their profession and don't know some basics of physics. Building a ship and other floating objects or offshore structures requires a lot of knowledge and learning throughout your entire life, but it is also a very interesting and fun profession and I'm glad that I decided to pursue it. This video only scratches the surface of what it's all about, but it's a very nice video. Keep up the good work!
@@shajishaji3073 In Brazil is "engenheiro naval" (naval engineer) and it doesn't differentiate marinee engineer and naval architecture. It envolves the both fields.
I am a marine engineer. I enjoy it although it has its challenges like being away from home. I've been at it since 2007, will continue until something else pulls me away.
Can you please answer some questions for me. Am currently enrolling into college and hope to be a marine engineer. But one thing that is keeping me away is that I don’t get to spend time how. Can you answer what is it like? How long do you guys spend on board ?
@@manhimseff-6802 Hello. I know I am a bit late to this conversation but maybe I can still be helpful. I am studying Nav Arch and Mar Eng and I am in my second year at Webb Institute. Many jobs in this field are either design office jobs or working in shipyards, but there is also salvage, surveyors, operations managers, and many other positions that do travel and work on ships, but these are generally not extended stays on board. I personally love it and I know many of my colleagues at Webb feel the same. I hope this helps and good luck with college!
In central europe (germany) the situation is about the same, barely anyone who studies it, good job market, decent income with choice between stability and payment and between actually working or sitting in a chair, most of the jobs are pretty International, you won't have issues with going to other countries Biggest difference that I've noticed is the lack of need for a master degree, here in germany its not mandatory but you get paid a lot more with it
I'm a 22yo studying architectural design in Japan (mainly building and houses). I also wanna learn Naval architecture. Do you think it's possible to do both?
Hello, fellow architect here. Unfortunately architecture is an art degree but marine engineering is a engineering degree that involves a lot of maths and physics rather than artistic designs. I recall the university of Osaka provides courses on Naval architecture, you can take a look.
Your best bet would be to either search for a university that offers and actual naval architecture course/degree, go for mechanical engineering and specialize on nacal engineering in master (not all technical universities offers this) or go without degree/make a boatbuilding apprenticeship
Hey, I've worked as a design assistant for an Architect for 6 years & also want to make the jump to Naval Architecture. (My family assumes just because the titles both have the word 'architecture' in that they're similar vocations, but that's so far from the truth!!) I'm having to refamiliarize myself with maths & physics before even attempting to enrol for a Naval Architecture degree, and that in itself is a challenge and will take time, especially when I've spent much of my life looking at completely different subjects (planning laws, graphic design, building regs, materials etc) and employing different skills. If you enjoy technical details and processes of the job you're currently doing, then you shouldn't have so much of a problem transferring, but personally my current role is much more 'art/design' focused (e.g. making the houses look pretty... it doesn't require much brain power ☹) and so I have to do a lot more work to make my dream a reality!
I'm still at high school and I wanted to be a naval architect in the future so I'm searching what's it like and what you should do being a naval architecture.
im starting to study for a marine engineer this week, tihs consists of two sepreat courses the advanced diploma wich is 3 years and the bachler 4 years is it worth the time and effort? (just getting some experts advise)
that is too few jobs, Govt should have a strategy to get more openings. Looks at the largest ship builders - it is the Korean & chinese. Korean is a very small country, Tell you US govt does not have a good policies other than building warship which are few constructions.
Definitely! I think they're especially good for getting foundational training and the ones in my area are quite hands-on and practical. A lot of maritime academies have access to their own yachts/boats for the course so students can access them at any time and apply their knowledge. I'm hoping to do a foundation course at my local maritime college, and then move to Scotland to study Naval Architecture at Strathclyde University. I'll be learning maths & physics on the side (online courses) as the degree is pretty hard-core!! Good luck.
Hi, I'm 16 and basically at the same stage as you. The 3 subjects you will need are Maths, Physics, and Chemistry. If your school lets you do general engineering as a subject I recommend that too. I am determined to go into this profession as my love for the water and boats is bigger than anything else. There is quite a few ways to get into this job: conventionally a degree at Uni or you can go through the Navy. I am considering both options. Best of luck to you.
I’m half way through my masters degree in marine engineering and it’s a lot of physics and maths, though some basic understanding of business is also very useful too. You’ll also use a lot of CAD software and some do coding.
Marine engineering is its own masters degree, but you can do a mechanical engineering degres and soecialize towards marine engineering in the masters, you will get a normal mechanical engineering master, with the addition of some core components of naval engineering
