I'm wanting to go into naval architecture and have a few vital questions along with one for students of TUDelft
So I'm wanting to go into naval architecture and have a few questions currently I study past achievements in naval architecture and I love learning about the history of ships so I wanted to know
do naval architects still design on paper? Ever since I was designing small 1850s paddle steamers I always drew on paper and by now I'm used to it. So I wanted to know if naval architects still design on paper?
how demanding is the job? by that I mean do naval architects get breaks in work, do they work on multiple ships at once and what are the subjects you work in most?
do you have to travel for work? I know this is a stupid question but I just wanted to know how often you travel and along with traveling do you get discounts on the voyages on ships you worked on?
what's the pay like weekly monthly and yearly and how is pay decided is it decided on how many tons the ship is what the line (shipping/cruise/private company) pays for the ship and is broken down etc
for naval architects who somehow see this post what was the largest ship you ever worked on? This isn't vital but you can answer I know you can
this question is for any students who go to or have graduated from Delft University of Technology (TUDelft) what is expected for students in naval architecture what should you expect for all years and what degree is expected to have and this goes for all...
what degree do you have and how complicated is it to get?
I am so sorry for how long this post is it is also my first and I say again I am so sorry for how long the post is.
