Key Summary

About : The Ocean Mechanical Engineering program delves into the complexities of marine systems and structures. Students learn to design, analyze, and maintain equipment used in ocean environments. The curriculum covers topics such as fluid dynamics, structural analysis, and marine vehicle design, preparing graduates for the challenges of underwater engineering. The program typically spans two years and combines theoretical knowledge with practical applications.

Career Outcomes : Graduates can explore career paths in various fields, including marine engineering, offshore energy, and environmental consulting. Potential roles include marine design engineer, subsea engineer, and project manager in marine projects. The skills gained also enable graduates to contribute to sustainability efforts in ocean resources management.

This department conducts education and research in the area where marine and fisheries engineering merges with mechanical engineering ─ a field that is based on physics but also incorporates biology and chemistry. The department seeks to endow students with a broad array of technological capabilities related to the development of machinery used in fisheries, the sustainable utilization of fisheries resources, and the conservation of marine environments, so that graduates can actively contribute to the industry in a wide variety of ways, including the development of machinery related to the marine environment, ships and food.

Students who graduate from this department and take up further study in Marine Engineering in the Advanced Course can obtain certification as a ship officer, enabling them to work as a chief engineer or engineer on a ship traveling on international waters.
