Today, another step was taken in the creation of an underwater lab outside BTH’s campus in Karlskrona. The lab will give the marine engineering students a unique opportunity to gain the skills that are in high demand by several companies. In a few weeks, the lab will be ready for operation and students can start using it in their education. Throughout the Master of Science in marine engineering programme, we focus on future needs for the development of different types of marine engineering systems. There is an increase in the demand for these skills as a result of the increased digitaliization and automation. – The need to work underwater will increase in the future. That is why it is natural that our students focus on the systems needed for this, says Oskar Frånberg, associate professor at BTH and programme manager. In the underwater lab students will practice laying cables, detecting them, separating them and to test how best to work […]
