Naval Architecture covers a wide range of subjects associated with ships and offshore structures. The final goal of naval architecture lies in the design and production of the most reliable and cost-effective transport system and offshore structures which can carry out missions successfully in harsh environments.
By developing basic theories concerning all the branches of naval architecture and ocean engineering, this department aims at enhancing the superiority in the sense of educations, research and public service as an essential function of the university.
The field of Naval Architecture is directed towards the design, production, and operation of all types of ships; cruisers, FPSO, fast ferries, Liquefied Natural Gas(LNG) Carriers, etc. Ocean Engineering specially deals with the design, construction, and operation of all types of marine structures; from oil platforms to very large floating structures, like man-made floating islands.
