Welcome to the

Institute of Ship Technology,Ocean Engineering

and

Transport Systems (ISMT)

Our website gives you an overview of the institute’s activities in research and teaching and any future students an insight into the varied options open to graduates of “Mechanical Engineering” with a focus on ship technology and ocean engineering. The chair aims to provide students with a profound knowledge in the fields of ship technology and ocean engineering. The academic curriculum of engineering with emphasis on “Ship Technology and Ocean Engineering” within the department “Mechanical and Process Engineering” of the Faculty of Engineering Sciences is based on the internationally accredited undergraduate and graduates programmes “Mechanical Engineering”. The core areas of teaching are hydrodynamics and ship design, marine power plants as well as the structural design of ships and offshore constructions.

Due to the knowledge and skills obtained during their education in mechanical engineering and ship technology, graduates in this field are guaranteed attractive job opportunities, amongst others with shipyards, suppliers, shipping companies, classification societies, research institutes and enterprises operating in general mechanical engineering.
By involving various large maritime companies (shipyards, suppliers, classification societies, research centres, engineering consultants) in our curriculum and research projects, a tight link between the university and industry is ensured. On the occasion of lectures and events, students are given an opportunity to establish direct contacts with potential employers. For further details concerning the curriculum “Ship Technology and Ocean Engineering”, please refer to “Study courses/Study Information”.

In research, the institute particularly concentrates on the fields of hydrodynamics and fluid-structure-interaction as well as the design of marine power plants and investigates in the field of ocean engineering. The students are given the chance to get involved in research projects and obtain practical experience in the institute’s own laboratory.
