The naval architect is a technical leader making engineering decisions in the design, manufacture and testing a submarine.
He can also be in charge of the overall arrangements (3D CAD) of the submarine and is at the nexus of all the submarine systems to ensure a design optimum at the whole-of-boat level. This compels to have a holistic view, encompassing all the boat functionalities to be able to make educated decisions across domains and submarine systems led by separate experts.
To perform this role, a naval architect will focus on hydrodynamics and stability, structural design, but also energy propulsion systems and, always, safety considerations.
As submarines are specific military assets, this course will also explore stealth (undetectability) with acoustic and electromagnetic signatures in details.
Classification society rules will be explained in that specific context.
As a consequence, this course will empower the student with an ability to comprehend the whole technical aspects that a naval architect would need towards the highest levels of Engineering Authority for submarines.
The course is based on worldwide leading submarine design houses' philosophies and as such, is unique not only in Australia but also at a world class level.Course Staff

Student Feedback
The University places a high priority on approaches to learning and teaching that enhance the student experience. Feedback is sought from students in a variety of ways including on-going engagement with staff, the use of online discussion boards and the use of Student Experience of Learning and Teaching (SELT) surveys as well as GOS surveys and Program reviews.
SELTs are an important source of information to inform individual teaching practice, decisions about teaching duties, and course and program curriculum design. They enable the University to assess how effectively its learning environments and teaching practices facilitate student engagement and learning outcomes. Under the current SELT Policy (http://www.adelaide.edu.au/policies/101/) course SELTs are mandated and must be conducted at the conclusion of each term/semester/trimester for every course offering. Feedback on issues raised through course SELT surveys is made available to enrolled students through various resources (e.g. MyUni). In addition aggregated course SELT data is available.

Fraud Awareness
Students are reminded that in order to maintain the academic integrity of all programs and courses, the university has a zero-tolerance approach to students offering money or significant value goods or services to any staff member who is involved in their teaching or assessment. Students offering lecturers or tutors or professional staff anything more than a small token of appreciation is totally unacceptable, in any circumstances. Staff members are obliged to report all such incidents to their supervisor/manager, who will refer them for action under the university's student’s disciplinary procedures.
The University of Adelaide is committed to regular reviews of the courses and programs it offers to students. The University of Adelaide therefore reserves the right to discontinue or vary programs and courses without notice. Please read the important information contained in the disclaimer.
