General information
Since 1922 Dredging Engineering and since 1975 Offshore Engineering courses are given at the Delft University of Technology. In 2004 these two specialisations merged and formed the new MSc programme Offshore Engineering, a two-year curriculum leading to the MSc degree in Offshore Engineering. The programme consists of four specialisations: Fixed (Bottom Founded) Structures, Floating Structures, Subsea Engineering and Dredging Engineering. Students with a BSc degree in Civil Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Marine Technology and Ocean Engineering can enrol in this programme. Students with a different background should first consult the staff of Offshore Engineering to explore the possibilities.
Offshore & Dredging Engineering is multidisciplinary and is a cooperation between Civil Engineering, Mechanical Engineering and Marine Technology.
Offshore & Dredging Engineers make structures such as fixed and floating platforms for the oil and gas industry. They also design undersea pipelines and other underwater equipment for this sector. An important feature is the design of dredging equipment for land reclamation, maintenance and the recovery of embedded minerals in deep-sea locations. Another application of offshore engineering is the design of offshore wind farms. Offshore & Dredging Engineers are the people who design facilities for the 70% of the earth’s surface area that is not land.
The entire MSc curriculum lasts two academic years (120 ECTS). The courses which make up the offshore engineering MSc curriculum are divided into the core curriculum and a specialisations of choice. Offshore Engineering includes three specialisations. These are: Bottom Founded Structures, Floating Structures and Dredging Engineering. Generally speaking, each participant is expected to include the following in his or her own study programme:
- The common core curriculum
- One specialisation
- Elective courses
The core curriculum consists of the following courses (total 69 ECTS).
- Survey of Offshore Engineering Lectures
- Survey of Offshore Engineering Project
- Introduction to Offshore Structures
- Physical Oceanography
- Short Waves
- Wind Waves
- Offshore Hydromechanics
- Probabilistic Design
- Soil Mechanics
- Thesis
The thesis is a medium by which a participant demonstrates attainment of a professional level within his or her Offshore Engineering MSc Degree programme. The coaching team is dependent upon topic, but usually including at least two TU Delft faculty members including at least one full professor who serves as coaching team chairman. Each industry-sponsored thesis also includes at least one representative from the hosting company or agency.
The overall objective of the Delft University of Technology Offshore Engineering MSc Degree curriculum is to prepare its participants to work in and later lead teams of engineers designing all sorts of man-made objects to be used in localized areas of the (deeper) sea.
