Ship science are participating in this year’s University Science and Engineering week activities on Saturday 12th March on our Boldrewood Innovation Campus.  All are welcome  – see University website for more information.

This is a great opportunity to meet staff and students and learn about some of the technical challenges involved in designing ships and offshore structures.  A series of hands-on activities and demonstrations of the wave crawler ‘Fleur’ in the towing tank will be available for all ages to explore.

Prof Turnock will be giving a talk ‘Headfirst to success’ in the LR Auditorium at 11:25 and 14:45. In this he will explore some of the science and engineering behind performance in the wintersport of skeleton and also the links into Ship Design.
