The Industry Advisory Committee for AMC’s National Centre for Maritime Engineering and Hydrodynamics (NCMEH) held its first meeting for 2013 on campus in May.

Representatives from the Department of Defence, DSTO, INTECSEA and the University of Ballarat joined Principal Neil Bose, Acting Director Giles Thomas and other key staff from the national centre.

Previously NCMEH’s industry liaison committees have provided valuable feedback on course structure and content, however the Advisory Committee was formed three years ago in response to a recommendation from Engineers Australia to ensure strategic input at a high level and access to wider opportunities.

“We always welcome input from our advisory committee, it is essential in forming our long-term strategy. We have a diverse mix of members from across industry, and even from another university, so we get a nice balance of views,” Associate Professor Thomas said.

He said that the Launceston meeting had also given committee members the opportunity to consult with students while they were on campus.
