Naval Architecture - SUNY Maritime College

Naval Architecture from SUNY Maritime College is a Campus Bachelor Marine degree that prepares you for a Transportation career. Naval Architecture is the study of ship design. This program is available at very few institutions in the United States, and has been available at the Maritime College since 1972. As ship designers, naval architects must not only master a body of specialized knowledge applicable to vessel performance, but they must also perform crucial system integration tasks that will yield a fully functional, mission-capable vessel. Naval Architects are ultimately responsible for the strength, stability, speed, seaworthiness, and economic effectiveness of the vessels that are built. It requires that the student be broadly capable in mathematics, applied mechanics, and fluid mechanics, and have a special orientation for creative design. The Naval Architecture program also has three options: (1) a US Coast Guard Engineering License option that requires cadets to fully participate in the Summer Sea Term, (2) a US Coast Guard Deck License option that requires three Summer Sea terms as a deck cadet, and (3) an Intern option that requires that the student complete two Industrial Internships in shipyards or ship design offices. The educational objectives of the naval architecture degree program are for graduates (1) to become engineers who have the ability to practice the design, service, or operation of ships, other marine vehicles, and marine structures, and (2) to display the potential to take professional leadership positions that require an extensive engineering background.
