Department of Naval Architecture
Department of Naval Architecture is a recently established department and was formed in the year 2018. Both Postgraduate & Undergraduate programs in the field of Naval Architecture are being offered. A naval architect is a professional engineer who is responsible for the design, classification, survey, construction, and repair of both commercial and military ships including yachts, powerboats, fishing boats, barges, warships, cruise ships, ice breakers, submersibles, submarines and offshore structures. The course curriculum has been designed to provide knowledge in all core areas of field of Naval Architecture such as Marine Hydrodynamics, Marine Structure and Advanced Marine Dynamics. Students also undertake a comprehensive ship design exercise as a group project to learn to carryout concept studies in ship designing. During design exercise, special emphasis is given on inculcating interpersonal and team skills so that they may be easily integrated into industrial ship design teams.
