Newcastle University, BEng (Hons), Small Craft Technology

All students take a common Stage 1 (see below). In Stage 2 students study special aspects of small craft technology, which include the use of composite material, integrated mast/sail design and high-speed propulsion, by taking modules in marine dynamics and structures, in addition to resistance and propulsion, naval architecture and small craft science. You also take related modules in mathematics, computing and management. MEng students - In Stage 3 undertake an individual design project together with a report, which takes a quarter of the study time throughout the year. In addition modules are taken in small craft design, marine production technology and marine structures. In Stage 4, a combined group project and report counts for a third of your time, and you also study small craft hydromechanics, and high-speed and advanced craft. Approximately half of modules at Stages 3 and 4 are optional and are chosen from a comprehensive list of technical, business and management subjects.
