Could you design an oil rig or process plant?
Being a marine technologist involves finding solutions to some very tough problems. It is demanding enough to construct a 14,000 tonne self-contained process plant, for example. Now imagine you have to install it 100 miles offshore! That’s the kind of challenge faced by marine technologists every day.
You should therefore be a good analytical thinker and able to use mathematics as a tool in design. You need to have a high level of proficiency in mathematics, but you also need a creative and imaginative frame of mind. The best ideas are sometimes the least obvious ones. If you have all these attributes and like a challenge, then you would probably make a good marine technologist.
Do you enjoy working with other people?
If you want to study marine technology, the answer needs to be ‘yes’! As a professional engineer, you will be interacting with many other people. You have to work with:
- authorities, policy makers and operators
- other marine technologists and people from the maritime industry
- engineers from different disciplines
- management, business and financial professionals
- international contacts – the marine business is worldwide
You should therefore be able to work well in a team. It’s also important to have good communication skills – both spoken and written – as these attributes will help you achieve your goals more quickly and easily. If this sounds like you, you would enjoy studying marine technology with us.
