Department of Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering (NAME)

To produce engineers and researchers with sound knowledge on fundamentals of traditional, modern and emerging areas of Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering together with innovative design abilities and managerial skills to achieve sustainable national development.

The Department of Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering offers the following courses:

The Dept of NAME draws its strength from the experienced pool of highly professional faculties. The dept is headed by the Head of the department and consists of 2 Professors, 2 Associate Professor, 4 Assistant Professors and 8 Lecturers. The faculties are drawn in from diverse nationalities, diverse prior professional exposure (Military, Industry, Academia), diverse educational qualification and background and thus provide large areas of expertise for students to benefit. Based on requirements, domain specialists are drawn from other educational institutes like BUET, research institutes like BCSIR.

The Department of Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering is home to more than 40 instrument facilities and laboratories, led by our faculty in the field of engineering and applied sciences. The instrument facilities and laboratories are available to our faculty, research staff, graduate students, and undergraduates. The department endeavors to provide its faculty members and students with adequate laboratory and other facilities, departmental undergraduate courses are laboratory intensive and post-grad students can also avail these laboratory facilities for their research and projects.

These requirements are catered for by following laboratories: 

• Computer Aided Ship Design Lab
• Ships Structure and Fabrication Lab
• Marine Machinery Lab
• Ship Instrument Lab
• Damage Control Fire Fighting and Life Saving Lab
• Ship Propulsion Lab
• Ship Resistance Lab
• Machine Tools Lab
• Model Fabrications Lab
• Towing tank stability Lab
• Marine Transportation Lab
• Hydrodynamics Lab
• Auxiliary Machinery Lab

Students in Level – 1 and Level – 2 have to undertake laboratory courses (sessionals) in Physics, Chemistry, Workshop, Electrical Engineering and Civil Engineering too. If necessary undergraduate students can have the access to the facilities of other departments and centers during their project, thesis and research works.

Our Future Plan:

We are always in the process of upgrading our equipments to faciliate students with state of the art research facilities. These labs and equipments are constantly monitors by an Officer in Charge and an Assistant Officer in Charge for the upgradation and maintainenance process.

NAME Department library is on the 7th floor of Tower - 2 currently enriched with over 100 books and thesis copies of former students. The dept library so enriched that students and faculties can stay there in a good environment and study.

Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering deals with the aspect of shipbuilding and ship designing. A professional in this sector must possess a vast knowledge about building and designing any structure that has to deal with water. Naval architecture involves basic and applied research, design, development, design evaluation and calculations during all stages of the life of a marine vehicle. The main responsibility of a naval architect is to design and construction a safe marine vessel. The department of Naval architecture and Marine Engineering (NAME), MIST consists of faculties with multi-dimensional research interest listed below:  

• Fluid Mechanics, Applied Hydrodynamics, Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), Fluid Structure Interaction, 
• Composite Materials, Finite Element Analysis of Ship and Offshore Structure, Fatigue & Crack Analysis, Life Cycle Analysis (LCA), Ship and Offshore Structural Analysis
