Navel Architecture and Ocean Engineering Program in China

1. Introduction

Navel Architecture and Ocean Engineering program refers to working principle of marine engineering. Students mainly study structure, navigation principle, safety design and specification of important classification societies at home and abroad, etc., and study design method of ship to ensure rapid navigation, good maneuverability and wind and waves resistance of the ship. Besides, students study methods and principles of ship testing to solve the problems in the design, construction, use and management of the ship.

2. Training Objectives

Navel architecture and ocean engineering program trains senior technical personnel who have basic skills and basic management knowledge of design, research, construction of modern ship and ocean engineering, with computer programming and application ability, and can be engaged in technology and management in departments of design, research, manufacturing, inspection, use and management of ships and ocean structures.
