Overview

Get all the resources of a major research university in a small, close-knit department that feels like family. NAME undergraduate classes have an average class size of 25. That means instructors who know you by name and academic advising that’s available on your schedule.

What do Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering Graduates Do?

They get hired. More than 70 percent of our planet is covered by water, and University of Michigan NAME graduates work in almost every field that touches it, including:

Offshore energy – wind, oil and gas exploration
Watercraft design – military, competitive, commercial and recreational
Great Lakes and ocean shipping
Coastal erosion prediction
Americas Cup racing teams
Policy and consulting

And they stay in touch. Our proud and passionate network of alumni connects current students and new graduates directly to industry. Our reputation and relationships in the field create a pipeline to internships and jobs.

Michigan offers a world-class academic experience that helps prepare our engineers to tackle diverse professional responsibilities.

Modern marine systems integrate precise engineering from many disciplines, all of which must work in a demanding marine environment. That’s why NAME students study not only physical science and math fundamentals, but also a broad range of engineering topics.

Structural mechanics: Static strength, fatigue, dynamic response, safety, and production
Hydrodynamics: Resistance, maneuvering, and performance of platforms and vessels in a marine environment
Marine power systems: Mechanical systems on a marine vehicle, especially the main propulsion system
Marine dynamics: Effects of vibration, wind and waves on marine structures

Electives cover areas such as ship production and management, sailing yachts and high speed craft, and we encourage our students to broaden their academic experience with classes in the social sciences and humanities.

And because the field offers such diverse opportunities, we highly encourage students to stay an extra year and take advantage of our combined bachelors/masters degree program.
