I rise to congratulate the Australian Maritime College in Launceston, which is situated in the great electorate of Bass, for recently being acknowledged by the Australian Learning and Teaching Council for two outstanding contributions. The first is the Educating Engineers at Sea program conducted on the Bluefin. This is a hands-on problem-solving experience whilst at sea. The other award was for Dr Anna Carew, who was recognised for her work with undergraduate engineering students.

The Australian Maritime College has been focused on students and is a central part of what they do. The AMC website says:

… we recognise that our primary purpose is to equip them with the skills, knowledge and attributes that they will need to be successful in their working lives.

The AMC's commitment to student learning is demonstrated by this recognition, and I would again like to congratulate Dr Carew and all those involved in the Bluefin program at the Australian Maritime College on their wonderful work.
