The specialization of Marine Mechanical Engineering offers the student educational research based in fundamental engineering that covers such areas as: the enhanced mechanical systems and tribology properties evaluating that are essential for the design and development of high performance and highly efficient marine machinery and equipment; evaluation of the performance and strength of the materials that make up such equipment in corrosive environments; the advanced technology for environment-conscious energy conversion systems, and the heat and fluid energy conversion and transmission that lies at the base of those technologies; the fundamental physical properties and application of advanced materials; computerized simulations of these and other physical phenomena; and the methods and processing of latest designs for the construction of marine machinery and equipment.
In addition to the strength evaluations of the design and development of marine machinery and equipment, the basic physical properties of advanced materials and the development of superconducting technologies, performance evaluations in corrosive environments, the basis and application of environment-conscious energy-conversion systems, and computerized simulations of the physical phenomena surrounding these, students in this specialization will also undertake basic engineering-grounded research into the latest design methods and processing for the construction of leading marine machinery, equipment, and offshore plants. Through department-based teaching students learn a wide range of basic engineering fields such as machinery, electrical applications, electronics, controls, information, and materials using the mediums of laboratories and practice, and thus acquire comprehensive abilities in the field of engineering. In the graduate school students develop theoretical thinking and a deeper understanding of engineering by removing the broad focus of the above areas to specialize in the mechanical fields and enhance their expertise in that area.
Marine technologies have already gained acceptance as important technologies that aid the development of land and space equipment plants. Through factors such as the progress of environment-conscious and energy-saving technologies, the development of newer technologies, and the progress of internationalization, students are now able to acquire the broad-ranging knowledge of engineering, the well-rounded global consciousness, and the technical skills that facilitate dealing with advanced and complex equipments and plants that will be a future requirement for all management engineers.
