Maritime Safety Technology

Overview

The Maritime Safety Technology program studies the elements and requirements that govern the safety of the sea, ships, and maritime and air traffic. Students learn about ship performance, maneuvering methods, ship and material development, navigation electronics, and traffic control.

Lecture Methods

Through lectures and exercises, including an introduction to the actual research being conducted at the National Maritime Research Institute and the Electronic Navigation Research Institute, students will learn how the safety of the sea and ships is protected. They will also learn what kind of research and efforts are being made to improve the safety of ships and oceans.

Attractiveness

By participating in and observing research in maritime engineering, students can get a glimpse of the joys and rigors of research. Students will have the opportunity to view the ocean and ships from the perspective of ship and material development research and from the perspective of electronic navigation.
