Protecting the environment is a big motivation behind everything that is taught in the programs of Maritime Engineering and Ship Science at the University of Southampton. Regardless of the type of engineering system that is being considered, a number of factors such as merchant and naval ships, leisure craft, offshore structures, wind/water energy harvesting structures, submarines, submersibles and, even, fish and swimmers are examples of all the factors that are regularly considered. The work here involves hydrodynamics, structures and materials and their integration for the design, production and operation of these engineering systems,. This happens while taking into account environmental, economic, social and safety related factors. As a result, in addition to engineers, there is close consultation with a range of other scientists in the UK and abroad, such as oceanographers, biologists, geographers, economists, and marine archaeologists, in both our teaching and research activities.
With the environment in mind, development of low carbon marine systems, more efficient/alternative propulsion systems, wave and wind energy extraction methods and systems, new materials sustainable over a life cycle, and carbon sequestration are some of the initiatives which are underway in this area. These activities not only shape our teaching, but also provide students with the chance to take part in exciting and innovative projects that are important to the future of engineering and the planet. They also provide a platform for developing and applying our multidisciplinary research methodology.
Access to a large collaborative research effort is another benefit of studying Maritime Engineering and Marine Science at the University of Southampton. The new Boldrewood Innovation Campus brings together will focus on innovations in transport, energy and the environment. This will encourage both academics and industry experts to work together through the entire process of identifying and researching challenges faced by businesses and communities worldwide to deliver solutions more effectively.
