Naval Architecture

Overview

Naval Architects are Naval engineers who design and construct vessels such as ships, yachts, powerboats, fishing boats, barges, war ships, cruise ships, ice breakers and even submarines. 

The curriculum of the Naval Architecture program of the National University of Sciences and Technology 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.

Mission Statement:

To nurture and develop the abilities of young minds in the field of ship designing. The curriculum is designed to provide the necessary knowledge and skills in naval architecture theory, analysis and design procedures, as applied to naval and merchant ships, so that students may be easily integrated into industrial ship design teams. The Naval Architects graduated from this programme can meet real time challenges of the industry by demonstrating their competencies in learned methodologies and skills while appreciating the global and societal impact of the discipline through exposure of contemporary issues.
