ABOUT US

Surging ahead since 1975

This Department is one of the pioneers in the field of Naval Architecture education in this country and was established in 1975 with an aim to create a new and dynamic generation of Naval Architects to meet the requirements of the Indian Shipbuilding Industry, Ship Classification Societies, R&D organizations, Indian Navy, and related organisations. This Department maintains active collaboration and interaction with IITs, foreign Universities, shipyards and other industries. These organizations have been generous in extending their facilities and expertise to impart training to our students. The fruitful collaboration of this Department with Rostock University, Germany dates back to 1978 and remains as an important milestone in the development of this Department. The curriculum was drawn up and updated in consultation with experts from various academic institutions and industries. This has brought the course curriculum in conformity with international standards. The quality of education imparted and the resulting professional competence of the graduates enabled the Department to achieve a unique record of 100 percent placement of its graduates in India and abroad.

Shiptech CUSAT      

Greetings from the Department of Ship Technology (DoST), Cochin University of Science & Technology (CUSAT), Kerala, India!!

The DoST was established in 1974 and is one of the oldest departments in CUSAT. DoST is a pioneer in the field of Naval Architecture education in the country and has produced global leaders in maritime sector, in diverse fields including design, construction, operation, survey, maintenance, education and research.
We are conducting a B.Tech course in Naval Architecture and Ship Building (NASB) whose graduates have a 100% placement record for the past several years, a M.Tech course in Computer Aided Structural Analysis and design (CASAD)whose graduates are well placed mostly in the marine industry, and a Ph.D programme with 41 scholars at present.
We are a truly interdisciplinary department with a very strong research atmosphere. Much of the graduate level research is done at the Computational Hydrodynamics and Structural Engineering (CHASE) Lab that software such as STAR-CCM+, CATIA, ABAQUS, ORCAFLEX, MATLAB, and ANSYS. The DoST has collaboration with the Indian Navy, MoUs with leading shipyards, Classification Societies and academic institutions.
The support from DOSTAS (Department of Ship Technology Alumni Society) and its various chapters to the overall development is highly encouraging.
Student achievements are recognized through RINA (Royal Institution of Naval Architects, London) student Naval Architect award, ClassNK best project award and also awards by PTA. A platform for developing technical and professional leadership among students is provided by the SNAS (Society of Naval Architecture Students). Department training and placement cell provides professional assistance for student placement as well as internship in leading companies.
We are also actively participating in industrial projects as well as consultancy services through DESON, the consultancy wing of DoST.
