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:
“Men talk, but rarely about anything personal. Recent research on friendship ... has shown that male relationships are based on shared activities: men tend to do things together rather than simply be together.... Female friendships, particularly close friendships, are usually based on self-disclosure, or on talking about intimate aspects of their lives.”
—Bettina Arndt (20th century)
“I did my research and decided I just had to live it.”
—Karina O’Malley, U.S. sociologist and educator. As quoted in the Chronicle of Higher Education, p. A5 (September 16, 1992)
“... research is never completed ... Around the corner lurks another possibility of interview, another book to read, a courthouse to explore, a document to verify.”
—Catherine Drinker Bowen (1897–1973)
