Research
The university has always laid stress on scientific research, achieving nearly 1,800 outstanding research results, among which 39 items have won national awards, and 446 items have won ministerial or provincial level awards. In the field of scientific research, the faculty mainly emphasize upon investigations, design and development of advanced and high-performance vehicles and marine structures. As the results of the faculty's diligent efforts, the researches have made great progress in the areas of hydrodynamics and structural mechanics of ships, such as resistance, propulsion, maneuverability, sea-keeping, wave loading, strength and fatigue of naval and offshore engineering structures. Numerous research activities have been profoundly acknowledged at national level, and some of the research work has also gained international recognition, as it comes up to the standards of advance research level. The College enjoys a fame in performing researches in hydrodynamics of advanced high performance vessels, ship stabilization technique, high efficiency propulsion and ocean energy utilization, energy saving technology, under-water robotics technology, submersible design technology, ship wave loading, and structural hydro-elasticity theory and experiments.

Famous quotes containing the word research:
“The research on gender and morality shows that women and men looked at the world through very different moral frameworks. Men tend to think in terms of “justice” or absolute “right and wrong,” while women define morality through the filter of how relationships will be affected. Given these basic differences, why would men and women suddenly agree about disciplining children?”
—Ron Taffel (20th century)
“After all, the ultimate goal of all research is not objectivity, but truth.”
—Helene Deutsch (1884–1982)
“To be sure, nothing is more important to the integrity of the universities ... than a rigorously enforced divorce from war- oriented research and all connected enterprises.”
—Hannah Arendt (1906–1975)
