Ron Holland was invited to participate in the development of the Master of Engineering Studies in Yacht Engineering from the University of Auckland, Faculty of Engineering. Ron had the honour of instructing students in many diverse areas of yacht design and engineering including:
It has been such a thrill for me to be a part of the Yacht Engineering program at Auckland University. Sharing my experience with a new generation of students continues to be very rewarding.
Ron looks forward to more educational opportunities in the future.
This was an exciting opportunity for Ron, particularly since Ron never completed university himself. But with his over forty years of experience sailing and designing yachts, Ron’s knowledge and skills were invaluable to the program.
In fact, Ron’s most interesting topics of instruction are one-of-a-kind, non-traditional topics where his applied knowledge can prepare students for the careers that they choose upon completion of the program. These include:
– How to Run a Design Studio
– Client Conversations
– Essential Business and Promotion Skills
