Marine engineering is a discipline that focuses on the study and application of mechanical principles, marine systems, and other fields. Its core goal is to cultivate students' ability to be competent in marine transportation and related enterprises and institutions, such as marine engine manipulation, maintenance, ship construction supervision and other tasks. The work of this profession often needs to be carried out at sea, so there are certain requirements for students' practical ability and adaptability.
Marine engineering research directions include marine engineering systems and automation, ship and marine engineering, power engineering, ship and marine structure design and manufacturing, and underwater acoustic engineering.
1. Marine system and automation
This is one of the core directions of the marine engineering postgraduate examination. Students will gain an in-depth understanding of the design, performance analysis, control, and maintenance management of ship power systems. By mastering advanced computer control technology, automation technology and system engineering applications, we will cultivate senior engineering talents with modern turbine system design and control capabilities. This direction focuses on the combination of theory and practice, and aims to cultivate interdisciplinary talents who understand both technology and management.
2. Ship and Offshore Engineering
This track covers technical issues in the design, construction, inspection, maintenance and management of ships and offshore engineering. Students will learn about the design and analysis of hull structures, the research and application of marine engineering equipment and systems, etc. In addition, it will also involve frontier fields such as environmental protection, energy conservation and emission reduction of ships and marine engineering. This program aims to cultivate senior engineering and technical talents with the overall knowledge system of ship and offshore engineering.
3. Power engineering
Power engineering is another important direction for marine engineering research. This direction mainly studies the key technologies of energy conversion and utilization, including the conversion and utilization of thermal energy, electrical energy, nuclear energy, etc. For marine engineering students, choosing this direction can further deepen the understanding and research of ship power systems, and improve the energy efficiency and environmental performance of ships.
4. Design and manufacture of ships and marine structures
This direction focuses on the design and manufacturing of ships and marine structures. Students will learn about structural design, material selection, manufacturing processes, and more. This program focuses on cultivating students' innovation ability and practical ability, and aims to cultivate senior engineering and technical talents with the ability to independently design and manufacture ships and offshore structures.
5. Underwater acoustic engineering
Although the direct correlation between underwater acoustic engineering and marine engineering is relatively small, with the continuous development of the field of marine engineering, underwater acoustic technology is more and more widely used in ship communication, navigation, detection and other aspects. The postgraduate research direction of underwater acoustic engineering mainly studies the propagation, scattering, reception and processing of underwater sound waves. This program aims to cultivate senior engineering and technical talents with the ability of underwater acoustic technology research and development and application.
