  1. Department of Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering

  2. Introduction • Joint Department of the Universities of Glasgow and Strathclyde • Established in 2001 through a merger of Department of Naval Architecture and Ocean Engineering at the University of Glasgow and the Department of Ship and Marine Technology at the University of Strathclyde • Based at the University of Strathclyde, students have access to resources and facilities of both Universities • The Engineering Faculty at Strathclyde is the largest Engineering Faculty in Scotland and is one of the UK's leading centres of engineering education and research • The First Chair of Naval Architecture in the World was established in 1883 at the University of Glasgow

  3. Staff and Students • Academic Staff • 6 Professors • 1 Reader • 4 Senior Lecturers • 4 Lecturers • Research Fellows -11 • Research Assistants- 4 • PhD Students -24

  4. Courses • 4 Undergraduate Courses • MEng in Naval Architecture • MEng/BEng in Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering • MEng/BEng in Naval Architecture with Ocean Engineering • MEng/BEng in Naval Architecture with Small Craft Engineering • 6 Postgraduate Courses • MSc/PGDip in Marine Technology • MSc/PGDip in Offshore Floating Systems • MSc/PGDip in Subsea Engineering • MSc/PGDip in Offshore Renewable Energy • MSc/PGDip in Marine Engineering • MSc/PGDip/PGCert in Technical Management of Ship Operations

  5. Courses Undergraduates: Total - 250 Postgraduates:Total - 40

  6. Research • Three Centres: - Ship Stability Research Centre (SSRC) • Marine Structures and Reliability Centre (MSRC) • Centre for Marine Hydrodynamics (CMH) • Three Groups: • Marine Design and Manufacturing Group (MDG) • Marine Engineering Group (MEG) • Ship Management and Operations Group (SMG)

  7. Research– Acre Road Hydrodynamics Laboratory

  8. Research– Acre Road Hydrodynamics Laboratory • Majority of experimental work performed at this laboratory • Used for UG & PG student project work, research projects and commercial testing • Used for measuring: - Ship resistance & sea-keeping, unsteady motion of ships and floating bodies, survivability of damaged ships, hydrodynamics of towed surface-pierced and submerged bodies, ocean engineering studies, wave impact & slamming studies, marine renewable energy studies • Dimensions: 76m x 4.6m x 2.5m • Features: - Carriage: Computer –controlled digital drive - Wavemaker: generate regular and irregular waves over 0.5 m - Data acquistion: PC based modular data acquistion/control system.

  9. Research Research: 1st round of EU-FP7 Projects confirmed in 2008 • Dismantling of Ships • Risk based inspection, maintenance and • Structural design of new vessels • Promoting marine research careers • Integrated stability, subdivision and casualty mitigation • Fire resistance improvement
