Marine innovation addresses the need for students to gain integrated engineering skills used in the conception and early design of marine systems. The course contains lectures, teamwork and individual scheduled work on engineering modeling, concept generation, formulation and evaluation of functional and operational demands etc. The course focuses on techniques and processes that are especially useful in early design. Through a number of guest lectures students will meet representatives from the marine industry and get insight in authentic marine development processes.

Ethical approach
- All members of a group are responsible for the group's work.
- In any assessment, every student shall honestly disclose any help received and sources used.
- In an oral assessment, every student shall be able to present and answer questions about the entire assignment and solution.
