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, 5 Assistant Professors and 5 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 second floor of the admin wing currently enriched with over 100 books and thesis copies of former students. Due to low space, it is now on the second floor of the admin wing and we have a future expansion plan to expand the dept library so 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.

Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering Department of MIST organized numerous conferences, seminars, workshops and welcomed researchers, engineers, scientists, and industry professionals to an open forum where advances in the field of Naval Architecture and Ocean&Marine Engineering can be shared. The conference is an ideal platform for keeping up with advances and changes to a consistently morphing field. Leading researchers and industry experts from around the globe will be presented their opinions and the latest studies through papers and oral presentations. 

• Seminar 2019

A seminar was held at Military Institute of Science and Technology (MIST) by the Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering Department on 26th September, 2019 titled “Advances of Shipbuilding and shipping in Bangladesh” to celebrate the World Maritime Day. The objective of the seminar was to draw attention to the significance and future scopes of shipbuilding and shipping industries in Bangladesh by presenting related researches to the concerned authorities and dignitaries as well as taking necessary steps in that concern. The honorable state minister of shipping Mr. Khalid Mahmud Chowdhury was the chief guest of the seminar.

• Seminar 2016
  In 2016 NAME Department organized a seminar on career on shipping industry aspect on Bangladesh. A number of high profile guest (including CNS,BN) was present there.

• Seminar 2014
  In 2014 NAME Department organized a seminar on ship building aspect on Bangladesh. A number of high profile guest (including CNS,BN) was present there.

This is by far the most popular in MIST. NAME department soccer team has always been a strong contender. We have performed consistently over years. It proves of having a strong team. New students are always encouraged to join the team. It helps to have better communication with other students and faculties in the department. Also, it helps the students to test their leadership capabilities.NAME department showed a very good performance on this game too. Girls team has shown great results. All the faculties try to cheer up the students during competitions. Besides, students have opportunity to improve their skills by playing in the games ground.We also have a good performance record in badminton, table tennis, high and long jump, disk throwing etc.
