The science behind sound navigation in naval shipbuilding
The science behind sound navigation in naval shipbuilding
What do submarines and dolphins have in common?
Dolphins locate objects with the help of sound. This naturally occurring scientific phenomenon has been adopted to design an underwater system used by submarines called ‘Sonar’ – or Sound Navigation and Ranging.
In this webinar Electrical Engineer, Subroto Ghosh, will provide an understanding of how sonar works and how dolphins and submarines use it to interpret vital information. The NSC’s Training Solutions Manager, Rebecca Seage also explains how the NSC can help you pave the way for your future career!
Trade careers in shipbuilding
Trade careers in shipbuilding
Tradespeople are critical to shipbuilding – they do everything from constructing the vessels through to manufacturing and installing the electrical and piping components that go inside.
Trades aren’t what they used to be. They’re highly skilled, working with advanced machinery and are well paid roles that can take you wherever you want to go. In this webinar we unravel the world of opportunity that exists in naval shipbuilding apprenticeship and trades careers.
Apprentices Anika from Naval Group Australia and Brayden from ASC will provide insight in the industry and the NSC team will highlight tips and tricks for planning your career pathway!
