Ship and ocean engineering major: docking the national strategy of the future promising

I. Professional analysis

What is Marine and Ocean Engineering

Ship and Ocean Engineering belongs to the Marine engineering category of engineering, which studies the design, performance, structure and construction of various types of ships, mainly cultivating senior engineering and technical talents engaged in ship design, research and testing. Its research object is not only ships, but also various sea vehicles. Such as mobile fixed building structures at sea, surface ships, underwater vehicles, surface floating platforms and so on.

In addition to public basic courses such as mechanics, mathematics, foreign language and computer, the main courses of undergraduate students also include theoretical mechanics, mechanics of materials, fluid mechanics, structural mechanics, ship dynamics, ship statics, ocean engineering, principles of ship and ocean engineering, principles of ship design, etc.

Constantly integrating with new technologies

Shipbuilding industry in China has a long history, when Prince Henry of Portugal with one or two hundred tons of small sailing ships in the sea exploration, Zheng He has already dispatched more than a hundred "strong, huge and no enemy" giant ships sailing in the Pacific Ocean. Since ancient times, human beings have been getting rich food resources and mineral resources from the sea, and enjoying the transportation convenience brought by sea transportation. Nowadays, with the rapid development of modern science and technology, the major of ship and ocean engineering has been continuously combined with the emerging electronic technology, computer technology, automatic control and other disciplines, and has gained new vitality.

After the release of this year's "Made in China 2025", relevant experts in the industry further pointed out that Internet technology will promote the design innovation of China's ships and offshore industries. Especially for the design process, the new technology will trigger a series of changes in ship design methods, means, tools and processes. In the future, the shipbuilding industry and Marine equipment manufacturing industry will inevitably be a new business form integrating information technology, automation, intelligence and new technology.

Second, major and employment

According to the statistics of the Sunshine college entrance examination platform, the number of graduates of shipbuilding and Marine engineering is 2500-3000, the employment rate is 85%-90%, and the proportion of men and women is: 87% of boys; For girls, 13%.

Companies go to schools to grab talent

The shipbuilding industry is known as the "crown of comprehensive industry", in the 116 industrial sectors of the national economy, the shipbuilding industry has direct consumption of 97 industries, and the related surface reaches 84%, especially in the machinery, metallurgy, electronics and other industries. Taking the steel industry as an example, the demand for shipbuilding steel in China in 2014 was 13 million tons, of which the demand for shipbuilding plates was about 10 million tons. According to statistics, every 10,000 DWT ships built can solve 3,000 jobs in the shipping and upstream industries.

Qian Xinnan, deputy secretary general of the China Shipbuilding Industry Association, said: "Shipbuilding and Marine engineering industry is a long cycle, capital intensive, science and technology intensive, labor-intensive industry, which needs a large number of high-quality professional and technical personnel, and the current talent is far from reaching the market demand and can not meet the needs of enterprises." Since 2002, students majoring in shipping and Marine engineering are very sought-after after graduation, many students have been signed by the unit one year before graduation, and many shipping companies will go to the school to book students in advance. China has 18,000 kilometers of coastline, 3 million square kilometers of ocean area, the ocean area accounts for about one-third of the land area. With oil and other scarce resources on land dwindling, the future of oil and other scarce resources has been turned to the sea. Whether it is Marine fisheries, Marine transportation, offshore oil and gas development, coastal tourism, or Marine engineering construction industry, ships and all kinds of Marine engineering equipment are inseparable. It can be said that the ship and ocean engineering major is responsible for the development, utilization and protection of Marine resources, and the development prospect is very broad, and it is a promising major.

Employment destination of graduates

After graduation, students majoring in shipbuilding and ocean engineering can work in shipbuilding and ocean engineering design and research units, maritime bureau, shipyards, research institutes, domestic and foreign classification societies, shipping companies, offshore oil units, universities, ship transportation management, ship trade and operation, customs, Marine insurance and maritime arbitration departments, etc. He is engaged in the design, research, manufacturing, inspection, use and management of ships and Marine structures, and may also work in related industries and information industry units.
