Student Experience
Justine
“Getting a chance to be a part of the NAME program at UBC was a great experience. Having small size classes, a close knit group of students and interesting courses with extra support from the professors and staff were only some of the advantages. The chance to get an internship in the industry was an added bonus as it provided working experience and contacts.”
Chandan
“The final design project is one of the most valuable aspects of the program. It gives you a chance to learn from, and collaborate with, industry leaders. You cannot put a price tag on that.”

Dan (Industry mentor)
“Working on a realistic ship design project is a great way for students to learn about the ship design process and learn to work together as a team. It is a tremendous experience for their careers.”
