Geographic distribution of Naval Architecture grads

Thanks. That sounds similar to my understanding of the time Michigan students spend on design.

How long were you at university in total?

 

Usually we studied 5 years and got 'Specialist' degree that was equivalent to Dipl.Eng. in countries like Germany; now it is rated between B.Eng and M.Eng. I spent 5 years plus another 3 as post-graduate research student

Marine Engineers studied 5 1/2 years as they have more seagoing practice.

Now it is still same but Bachelor and Master are added; say Bachelor is 4 years, specialist is 5 and Master is 5.5. But in Ukraine/Russia nobody leaves University after Bachelor - it is treated as some dummy degree.

 

No there’re not, structures is structures.. but perhaps you think otherwise and have a different definition for some reason?

Yes I know, because that is the only ‘structures’ related module that is compulsory at UM.

Really...please show me where in the core modules below. I have highlighted the structure for ease of reference. UM is on the left, showing the core modules required and US on the right:

Ahh, so you’re saying only students of UM can add 3-5times of ‘additional time’ to be considered as sufficient to form a total? Does that mean only students that attend the UM are the only students in the whole world that study outside of their lectures and add that as total time studied…..gosh!

I still fail to see how 4 out of 128 in terms of credit/time/hours for a core subject can be considered sufficient percentage to be a NA degree where structures, for example, is a fundamental aspect of design for a NA. Clearly you think otherwise, and that such an “add-on” is considered enough time spent in lectures to be called said degree.

So why is the degree not a Humanities and Social Science degree instead??...since this has 16 out of 128, i.e. 4 times that spent studying structures??

Well, we are going to have to differ. Since your concept of an “add on” and what is required to be a NA to do the job, is very different from mine.
