Master of Maritime Engineering (Technology Management) Alum
“I proudly work for ASC as Life Cycle Engineer. ASC is Australia’s established sovereign naval shipbuilding and submarine platform company and an integral part of Australia’s sovereign naval industrial capability. AMC’s Online learning mode of study provided me every opportunity to grasp the knowledge and complete my degree at my own pace whilst managing work and family in parallel”.
Blue Cooperative Research Centre
As a prominent partner in the Blue Economy Cooperative Research Centre (CRC), AMC works closely with a wide range of Australian and international organisations, including CSIRO, ocean engineering consultancies, aquaculture firms, marine renewable energy developers, and Government regulatory authorities. This collaboration addresses critical challenges in offshore food and energy production and leverages Australia's position as the country with the third-largest Exclusive Economic Zone. By focusing on sustainable and innovative use of natural resources, the Blue Economy CRC aims to significantly enhance Australia's marine productivity and economic development.
The CRC integrates expertise across seafood, marine renewable energy, and offshore marine engineering sectors to deliver world-class, industry-focused research. It supports a vibrant research community, including 50 PhD students and 50 postdoctoral research fellows from AMC and partner organisations nationally and internationally. Through incremental “proof of concept” projects spanning science, engineering, social science, and humanities, the CRC strategically advances knowledge in offshore and marine engineering, marine renewable energies, and aquaculture infrastructure evaluation and design, driving transformative solutions for the sustainable development of Australia's marine resources.
