A COMPREHENSIVE CURRICULUMKey program content deepens participants’ understanding of the interaction of ships with water via hydrostatics, hydrodynamics and ship dynamics. The structural demands and responses of ships are examined through application of applied mechanics and structural design principles. Students will also build competencies in the architecture, design and selection of ship machinery systems, including propulsion, electrical power generation and auxiliary systems. Emphasis is on a holistic and integrated design-oriented approach.

All students participate in advanced leadership training that will empower them to manage complex shipbuilding, design and procurement programs, and to become fully qualified in ship project management.

BECOME A NAVAL ARCHITECTURE & MARINE ENGINEERING EXPERT

If you’re thinking about concentrating your career in this sector, think about the difference a year at UBC can make. Build knowledge. Cross disciplines and boundaries. Gain confidence. Master the leadership skills that will take you to the next level. Invest in yourself, and in this growing field, at UBC.

CREATED BY APPLIED SCIENCE AND SAUDER

The Faculty of Applied Science at UBC is home to one of North America’s premier engineering schools—UBC Engineering—bringing together 12 engineering programs. The Sauder School of Business is one of the world’s leading academic business schools.

It is dedicated to rigorous, relevant and experiential teaching. Together, these educational leaders have collaborated closely with leading industry members to create the UBC Master of Engineering Leadership in Naval Architecture & Marine Engineering degree.

The UBC Master of Engineering Leadership (MEL) in Naval Architecture & Marine Engineering combines the engineering science and physics of ship design with broad business and leadership training.

UBC is the only centre for naval architecture and marine engineering study on the Pacific coast of North America, and Vancouver is a strategic coastal location with an industrially diverse environment. This MEL program maintains vigorous links to the regional marine industry in both the government and private sectors, offering unique learning resources that add value to each student’s experience.

The program is designed for early-career engineers with three or more years of industry experience. In addition to adding a new sector-specific skill set, students benefit from both leadership and interdisciplinary learning opportunities. The project-based curriculum encourages bold exploration of cutting-edge concepts in collaboration with other students and faculty, and with naval and marine industry leaders in the Vancouver region.

CUTTING-EDGE FACULTY

This program draws on the extensive expertise of the faculty within Applied Science and Sauder. Key teaching staff include Jon Mikkelsen, Professor of Teaching, and Dr. Chris McKesson. Both are highly accredited and world renowned.

Local naval industry leaders regularly participate in MEL in Naval Architecture & Marine Engineering lectures, introducing a dynamic balance between academic theory and real-world industrial and commercial practices.

WORLD-CLASS FACILITIES

UBC’s Vancouver campus offers a strategic coastal setting and unique state-of-the-art research and learning facilities, designed to enhance each student’s experience.

In addition, program faculty maintain vigorous links to the regional marine industry, ensuring course content stays relevant and leading edge.

ONE YEAR, INTENSIVE STUDY, FACE TO FACEThe Master of Engineering Leadership in Naval Architecture & Marine Engineering is offered on a January through December calendar year. It is designed with a 60% focus on technical specialization and 40% on a leadership platform designed to enhance the business, communication and people skills of program participants.

The program emphasizes cross-disciplinary study in the fields of mechanical, structural, materials and electrical engineering to strengthen technical perspectives. Sustainability is instilled throughout the course content, with a strong focus on a ship’s environmental impact in the ocean environment.

Program participants benefit from a variety of content delivery models—including seminars, conferences and other innovative teaching strategies. Interaction between students and industry partners is actively encouraged to reinforce real-world learning opportunities.
