Educational Aims of the Course
The MSc Marine Technical Superintendent is designed to develop marine professionals with the technical and managerial knowledge and skills required to practice as a Marine Technical Superintendent. This includes the development of engineering knowledge and skills in marine design and construction, marine asset management, knowledge of marine insurance and regulatory compliance frameworks, and relevant knowledge of the management of people and finance. The programme is intended to fulfil the post-graduate educational requirements for Chartered Engineer status as defined by the Engineering Council. Marine construction and maintenance.
Learning Outcomes

Teaching, Learning and Assessment
Acquisition of knowledge is achieved mainly through on-line lectures and directed student-centred learning. Student-centred learning is used where appropriate resource materials are available. Understanding is reinforced through case-studies. Online discussion forums are used to stimulate discussion between students and academic staff. Testing of the knowledge base is achieved through a combination of coursework in the form of case-study reports, essays and coursework assignment submissions. Online testing us used to provide students with formative feedback on their level of understanding, helping them to focus their learning more effectively. The students must appreciate the social, environmental, ethical, economic and commercial implications of their professional judgements. In order to achieve this, the students intellectual skills are developed through the application of industrial case-studies, reports and essays. Open-ended project work is designed to permit students to demonstrate achievement of all the learning outcomes in this category. Analysis, design and problem solving skills are assessed through coursework in the form of case-study reports and coursework assignment submissions which require technical evaluations to be made with the support of appropriate analysis. Transferable skills permeate most activities within the programme content and assessment. Skills are assessed through the generation of written reports and the production of supporting technical outputs such as diagrams or drawings. Application of skill associated with time management and research are also embedded within the self-managed MSc project, and the associated assessment via written report and the dissertation.
