Program Profile:
The major of Naval architecture and marine engineeringin South China University of Technology was founded in 1958 by professor Luo, Mingyu who is the first president of our university (formerly Southern China Polytechnic Institute). Our university is one of seven universities in mainland who set up the major of shipbuilding. Webegan to recruit graduate students in 1965,and became one of the first universities who owned the master's degree authorization points of ship engineering in 1981. We got the 2nd degree doctoral granting authorization for major of naval architecture and marine engineering structure designand manufacturing in 2003, and established postdoctoral research station for major ofnaval architecture and marine engineering in 2014. In 2018, we got the 1st degree doctoral granting authorization for major of naval architecture and marine engineering.
We have trained lots of undergraduates, master students and doctoral students ever since 1958. These graduates have become the technical backbones, managers or leaders in ships and marine engineering enterprises around China, especially in the Southern China. More than 1/3 of the chief engineer or the responsible person of the ship and ocean enterprises in the Southern China, graduated from our university.
We have a120-meters-long ship model towing tank which is largest one in the Southern China. This tank is also the only complete deep water ship model towing tank in the Southern China.We have another tank for offshore and coastal engineering experiments withthe construction area of 1800 m2.The second tank can carry out experimentsfor wave environment and model research inport, offshore and coastal engineering. We have three research centers including:(1)the Research and Development Centerof Naval architecture and marine engineeringTechnology of Guangdong Province, (2)Ship Technology Research and Development Center in Guangzhou Modern Industrial Technology Research Institute, and (3)the Collaborative InnovationPlatform of Deep Sea Engineering and High Technology Ship ( supported by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of the People’s Republic of China).These research centers are aimed for serving the national strategies in South China Sea and serving the large manufacturing enterprises for shipbuilding and marine engineering equipment in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Bay Area.
Program Features:
This major focuses on serving the shipbuilding and marine engineering industry in South China, serving the marine economic development in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, supporting the South China Sea strategy and ‘One Belt, One Road’, to cultivate and provide high-end talents forthe development of marine energy and resources, the design and manufacturing of high-end marine engineering equipment, the new marine intelligent equipment industry, the shipbuilding industry and the marine engineering construction.
