密歇根大学安娜堡分校

The undergraduate degree program is arranged to give the student a broad engineering mechanics education by requiring basic courses in the areas of structural mechanics, hydrodynamics, marine power systems and marine dynamics. These courses cover engineering fundamentals and their application to the design and construction of marine vehicles and systems. Courses in marine structures deal with the design and analysis of marine vehicles and platforms including static strength, fatigue, dynamic response, safety and production. Resistance, maneuvering and seakeeping characteristics of bodies in the marine environment are the subject matter for courses in marine hydrodynamics. Marine power systems involve all the mechanical systems on a marine vehicle with particular emphasis on the selection and arrangement of the main propulsion system. In marine dynamics, the student studies the vibrations of marine structures and engines and the rigid body responses of the vessel to the wind and waves.

The mission of the Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering (NAME) Department, University of Michigan, is to be a world leader in the education of engineers in the application of engineering principles for the marine environment by:

providing the leading bachelor’s program in naval architecture and marine engineering, with emphasis on the conceptual design, engineering, manufacture and life cycle management of marine vehicles, structures and complex systems;
providing the leading graduate education and research program in engineering for the marine environment, one which spans a broad range of inquiry;
providing leadership and service to the state, national and international marine community.

Goals

In addition, the NAME Program also has the following goals:

to recruit, educate and support exceptional, diverse students and engage them in lifelong learning and achievement while preparing them for a sustained career of engineering leadership in the marine related industries, government service and academia.
to maintain and enhance the leading undergraduate program in the world in naval architecture and marine engineering; one which provides a rigorous and effective preparation for a lifelong career of engineering leadership and service.

Educational Objectives

The educational objectives of the NAME Program are to produce graduates that, in 3-5 years’ time, are:

designing and manufacturing vehicles and structures that operate in the marine environment
working effectively in teams
practicing professionally in the marine industries, enrolling in graduate study, and engaging in life-long learning

Student Outcomes

The student outcomes of the NAME Program are:

an ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, science and engineering within the field of naval architecture and marine engineering;
an ability to design, conduct, analyze and interpret the results of engineering experiments in a laboratory;
an ability to design products and manufacturing processes applicable to naval architecture and marine engineering and consistent with needs and constraints such as economic, environmental, societal, political, and ethical concerns and with consideration of health, safety, and sustainability;
