Design Institute of Ship and Ocean Engineering

The Department of Naval Architecture and Ocean Engineering offers two specialties. i.e. Ship Engineering and Onshore & Offshore Engineering. The specialty of Ship Engineering was established in 1943 while the specialty of Onshore & Offshore Engineering (formerly named as Ocean Engineering) in 1985. For more than 50 years since its founding, the Department has trained a great amount of senior technical and administrative personnel for the different departments of our country, such as the shipbuilding industry, the Navy of P.L.A. the National Defense Committee of Science and Industry, the offshore oil industry, the classification society and the communication and transportation industries.The Department has a high qualified faculty and abundant facilities, and employs a number of internationally or nationally famous professors represented by Prof. Yang You, an academician of the Academy of Science of China.

In addition to the two undergraduate specialties, the Department also offers two master and doctor stations. i.e. the Design and Manufacture of Ship & Offshore Structure, the Mechanics of Engineering, and a post-doctorate station of the former.

The Department pays attention to the training of students in fundamental knowledge. Besides the study of professional knowledge, the students are also offered special courses in management knowledge, computer skill and foreign language abilities. Through a whole set of teaching and learning practices, the students can have a good understanding of the society, be familiar with the production and value the integration of theory with practice.

The length of undergraduate schooling in the department is four years. During the university time, the students have 34~40 obligatory courses, 12~15 elective courses and 6 courses in moral education.

The graduates from the Department are mainly engaged in various ships and offshore structures research, design, production, survey and trade. They can also undertake shipping management, offshore oil and gas exploration, etc.

In addition, the Department has been authorized to train engineering masters for the large sized national enterprises. An engineering mastership station has recently been established in Dong Ying, a city in Shan Dong Province, and has formally enrolled students from Shen Li Petroleum Administration.
