Webb Institute’s Bachelor’s Program Offering:
Webb Institute does not offer traditional arts and design programs. However, students engage in technical drawing and design principles within naval architecture, which include elements of visual representation, computer-aided design (CAD), and structural modeling.
Webb’s curriculum integrates project management, finance, and leadership principles as applied to marine engineering. Students gain business acumen through coursework and industry-sponsored internships, preparing them for management roles in shipbuilding, marine transportation, and engineering firms.
Webb students learn computer-aided ship design, data analysis, and marine systems programming. Courses include software applications for ship performance modeling, automation in maritime operations, and computational fluid dynamics (CFD).
Webb’s curriculum includes technical writing, ethics, and history related to naval engineering and shipbuilding, providing a well-rounded education.
Webb’s degree integrates marine hydrodynamics, fluid mechanics, and materials science, essential for naval engineering and ship design.
Psychology is not part of the core curriculum, but teamwork, leadership, and human factors in engineering are incorporated into coursework and internships.
Webb’s Bachelor of Science in Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering fits within this category. The program covers:
- Hydrodynamics and ship resistance
- Marine propulsion systems
- Structural mechanics and materials engineering
- Thermodynamics and fluid dynamics
- Electrical and mechanical systems on ships.
