NAVAL AND POWER ENGENEERING FACULTY
Founded in 1944, the Faculty is one of the largest and most rapidly developing in the University.
Departments:
- Shipbuilding
- Structural Mechanics of Ships and Strength of Materials
- Shipboard Power Plants and Thermal Power
- Electrical Equipment of Ships and Electrical Power Engineering
Specialities:
- Thermal Power Stations
- Electric Power Stations
- Shipbuilding
- Industrial and Civil Engineering
- Heat and Gas Supply, Ventilation
- Operation of Shipboard Power Plants
- Operation of Electrical and Automatic Equipment of Ships
The Shipbuilding Department and the Department for Structural Mechanics of Ships and Strength of Materials train marine engineers in "Shipbuilding" (with a specialization in "Design and technical operation of ships" and "Technology and organization of ship construction and repair".
Graduates of these departments are qualified to design vessels, to plan, organize and technically control the process of shipbuilding and ship repair, to introduce new technologies including automation of production processes.
The Departments also carry out significant research in their excellent research facilities including a 50 m long towing tank for testing the strength of fishing vessels and their seaworthiness.
The Shipboard Power Plants and Thermal Power Department trains engineers in "Operation of shipboard power plants" (specializing in "Operation and repair of shipboard machines, mechanisms, and systems") and "Thermal power stations".
Graduates of this department operate, repair, test and adjust thermal and power equipment (including turbines, boilers and combustion engines) of thermal power stations and shipboard power plants, as well as heat and energy supply systems for cities.
The Department also carries out research in all matters connected with thermal energy including that for ships, use of non-traditional and waste energy, energetic balance and safety of the region.
The Department for Electrical Equipment of Ships and Electrical Power Engineering trains engineers in two areas: "Electric power stations" and "Operation of electrical and automatic equipment of ships".
Graduates are involved in the operation of main and auxiliary equipment of power stations and substations, electrification networks and systems; they can carry out assembly and adjustment works there and at power industry enterprises (Electrical Engineers). They can also work as Marine Electrical Engineers on board vessels of the marine, river and fishing fleets as well as at ship repair enterprises and at the bodies for technical survey of ships.
Research is carried out in the field of energy saving, quality of electrical energy, safety of electrical equipment, automation of shipboard electrical equipment, and control systems.
The Department for Construction, Heat and Gas Supply, Ventilation was founded in 1994 on the basis of the Civil Engineering Division.
The course of "Industrial and civil engineering" includes calculation and design of bearing and enclosing structures, control of the quality of construction and assembly works, development of construction and complex mechanization projects, standardization in construction, architect's supervision of construction works, introduction of automated design systems. Graduates leave to work at construction sites, design organizations and companies, research institutes and plants.
The course of "Heat and gas supply and ventilation" offers training in the field of development and operation of heat systems, ventilation, air conditioning, gas supply of cities, individual buildings and structures; development of projects on organization and conducting construction works and their management; solving environmental problems, and matters of heat saving by using alternative sources of energy.
The Department is actively involved in solving problems connected with the estimation of buildings and their supply systems' quality, investigations on thermodynamic properties of substances.
