School of Marine Technology

Power System Engineering

Power System Engineering aims to educate students to meet the great demand for knowledge of theories and practices of power system engineers. The program aims to expose students to the basic skills and knowledge in the fields of mechanical and electrical engineering, electronics, and automatic control systems. It also delivers an all-encompassing education and fosters research through cooperation with both industry and other academic institutions. Furthermore the department is also involved with the supply of technical and research manpower to the machinery and maritime industries.

Careers

Graduates may seek careers in naval architecture companies, heavy industry firms, shipping companies, maritime police organizations, automobile companies, mechatronics firms, the civil service, and various research institutes ? both domestically and internationally

Department of Aqualife Science

The Department aims to have students acquire good technical knowledge of marine biology and develop their potential capacity to utilize, conserve, and manage marine resources. To this end, it provides specialized subjects regarding fish, shellfish, and seaweed farming along with a basic knowledge of aquaculture. The Department is composed of eight main laboratories: aquaculture environment ecology, resource organisms, fish culture and nutrition, reproduction organisms, invertebrate culture, algae culture, fisheries business management, and molecular physiology.

Careers

Graduates may seek careers with the Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries, the Korea Ocean Research and Development Institute, and the National Fisheries Research and Development Institute. They may find positions as civil servants, fisheries officers, teachers, professors, and fisheries managers.

Naval Architecture and Ocean Engineering

Naval architecture and ocean engineering focuses on research and education in a variety of areas from basic theory to advanced technology on ship and offshore structures. The final goal of the Department lies in the design and production of the reliable and cost-effective transport systems and offshore structures which can carry out missions successfully in harsh ocean environments. The research scopes of naval architecture consist of resistance and propulsion, propulsors, structures and materials, motion and maneuverability, noise and vibration, and welding. Ocean engineering involves various scopes of technical problems that arise during the design, construction, load-out, and operation of various forms of structures developed to meet the needs of offshore petroleum and construction industries. Research on the marine environment itself is also one of the major research fields of the Department. To meet increasingly complex technical demands, the Department extends research fields to cover rigorous analysis of detailed subjects using powerful computers. In particular, it offers on-board training course on university-owned research and training ships.

Careers

Graduates currently play active roles in central and local government organizations (e.g., Ministry of Land, Transport and Maritime Affairs, Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade Ministry of Education, Science and Technology), public corporations, and research institutes (e.g., Korea Ocean Research and Development Institute, Korea Marine Equipment Research Institute, Korea Institute of Construction Technology). Also, private companies and corporations dealing with ships, offshore and coastal structures, floating islands and harbors are looking to hire naval and ocean engineers. Some graduates go on to graduate school to further specialize in their discipline in the field of naval architecture and ocean engineering.

Marine Production Management

Marine Technology (MT) is one of seven national agendas with regard to striving to achieve excellence in areas of technology(IT, BT, ET, NT, ST, CT, MT) fixed by the National Science and Technology Council. MT is considered to be the future technology for achieving such goals as increasing competitiveness in the marine industry, intensifying the management of marine territory, and preventing the draining of marine resources and global environmental changes, for which everyone in recent history shares the blame. The aim here is to foster excellent talents who will lead the new marine age of the 21st century by sharing information through international workshops and developing technology through cooperative research. It provides customized education, on-the-job training opportunities through cooperation with related industries, government agencies, and research institutions. It specializes in the development of marine high-technology, the development and use of ocean resources, and the maintenance of the ocean environment. This school currently consists of 5 majors: Marine Production Management, Aquaculture, Power System Engineering, Environmental Oceanography, and Naval Architecture and Ocean Engineering.

Careers

Graduates may find careers as public service employees of local autonomous entities or institutions under the control of the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries, Korea Coast Guard, custom examiners, researchers of the National Fisheries Research and Development Institute or the Korea Institute of Ocean Science and Technology, personnel of the Korea Marine Environment Management Corporation, the Korea Ship Safety Technology Authority, the National Federation of Fisheries Cooperatives, deep-sea fishery companies, companies related to fisheries, marine transportation business (possible substitution of military service), and educational institutions (after completing the teaching training course).

Environmental Oceanography

As a leading partner in marine science and technology research and development, the Department of Environmental Oceanography has a study program providing the understanding of scientific and technological applications for marine environments. The program is divided into four main broad categories as follows: biology, chemistry, physics, and geology. The main purpose of this program is to educate about and foster a greater understanding of the essential preservation and development of our diverse and plentiful marine resources.

Careers

Graduates pursue careers as public service personnel of local autonomous organizations, or institutions under the control of the Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries. They may find positions as maritime police officers, custom examiners, researchers of the National Fisheries Research and Development Institute or the Korea Ocean Research and Development Institute, or personnel of the Korea Marine Pollution Response Corporation, the Korea Ship Safety Technology Authority, the National Federation of Fisheries Cooperatives, deep-sea fishery companies, companies related to fisheries, marine transportation business (possible substitution of military service), and educational institutions (after completing the teaching training course)
