Master of Science in Electromechanical Engineering (Maritime Engineering)
Electromechanical engineering is a collection of engineering disciplines around the themes motion, force and energy. The world of electromechanical engineering encompasses development, design, manufacturing, testing and control of tools, machines, vehicles and other electrical or mechanical systems, as well as research on these topics.
EUR-ACE® Master (EURopean ACcredited Engineering Master)
The EUR-ACE label was accredited to this programme by the Commission des titres d’ingénieur (CTI), under the auspices of the European Network for Accreditation of Engineering Education (ENAEE).
EUR-ACE® is a framework and accreditation system that provides a set of standards that identifies high-quality engineering degree programmes in Europe and abroad.
What will you study?
The world of electromechanical engineering encompasses development, design, manufacturing, testing and control of tools, machines, vehicles and other electrical or mechanical systems, as well as research on these topics. The Electromechanical Engineering is a two-year degree programme intended to prepare students for a future technical leadership role in industry. The programme offers in-depth training in all aspects of electromechanical engineering and its economic and social implications based on a solide scientific basis.
Graduates will have acquired an attitude of scientific synthesis, analytical reasoning as well as scientific and technical independence. Training in research skills provides mastery in developing, implementing and monitoring technical and scientific innovations.
Programme
Programme structure
The programme consists of a general module, main subject modules, electives and a dissertation. The general module contains course units on all topics related to Electromechanical Engineering, ranging from electrical drives and machine manufacturing, to management skills.
Students can choose one of five main subject modules with specialist course units on different topics of interest. The Maritime Engineering main subject deals with the design, construction and operation of maritime systems such as ships and offshore constructions.
Through elective course units students broaden their knowledge and skills on technical and non-technical topics. The Master’s dissertation is a final step in the learning process. It aims at fostering the ability to conduct scientific research independently.
After graduation
Career prospects
Electromechanical Engineering graduates from all five main subjects are employed in all branches of industry. Both at government agencies and private companies their range of professional activity is broad and varied: electrical energy production and distribution, electrical and mechanical equipment manufacturing, metal industry, building construction, transport, consultancy, banking and insurance.
Maritime Engineering graduates have a multidisciplinary knowledge to approach problems related to the design, construction and operation of ships and floating structures in general and on their behaviour in particular. There is a demand for graduates in government agencies, port authorities, shipping companies, inspection and classification societies, dredging and related sectors. Their professional activities are highly diverse and internationally oriented.
Please note that the Maritime Engineering programme is offered only by Ghent University in Flanders.
