弗吉尼亚大学的海洋工程专业

一、专业介绍

MS Degree in Ocean Engineering海洋工程硕士

Ocean engineering deals with the design of ships of all types. The field is often called naval architecture. It involves fluid mechanics, propulsion, structures, vehicle dynamics, and marine engineering. The curriculum culminates in an international award-winning design sequence in which students design a complete ship.

海洋工程涉及所有类型的船舶设计。该领域通常被称为海军建筑。它涉及流体力学、推进、结构、车辆动力学和海洋工程。课程以国际获奖的设计序列达到高潮，学生在其中设计一艘完整的船。

Master of Science Requirements: Thesis and (Non-Thesis)论文和非论文

1. A minimum of 30 credit hours is required.

• For thesis students, up to 9 credit hours may be allotted for Research and Thesis (AOE 5994).

• For non-thesis students, up to 6 credit hours may be allotted for Project and Report (AOE 5904).

2. A minimum of 15 credit hours (18 for non-thesis) of graded course work numbered 5000 and higher must be included in the Plan of Study. These credit hours do not include the AOE Seminar (AOE 5944), Research and Thesis (AOE 5994) hours, or Project and Report (AOE 5904) hours.

3. A maximum of 6 credit hours of 5974 and 5984 is allowed.

4. A maximum of 6 credit hours of approved 4000 level course work is allowed.

5. Up to 50% of the courses on the Plan of Study may be transferred from a graduate program at another institution, subject to the approval of the Advisory Committee. Substitution of a transferred course for a specific required course is subject to the approval of the Graduate Program Director or a designee, usually the responsible instructor. Each transferred course must have a grade of B (3.0/4.0) or better.

6. Breadth Requirement: All MS OE students are required to take at least one course each in the three disciplinary areas identified below. Fluid Mechanics

• AOE 5104, Advanced Aero and Hydrodynamics;

• AOE 5124, Aero and Hydroacoustics;

• AOE 5144, Boundary Layer Theory;

• AOE 5304, Advanced Naval Architecture. Dynamics and Control

• AOE 5334, Advanced Ship Dynamics;

• AOE 5444G, Advanced Dynamics of High-Speed Craft. Structures and Materials

• AOE 5024, Vehicle Structures;

7. Math Requirement: All MS Students are required to take at least one course (of three credits or more) focused on graduate-level mathematics, statistics, or numerical methods. A sample list of courses satisfying this requirement is given in Appendix B. The MS Advisory Committee can approve other courses that have majority of their learning outcomes on advanced mathematics, statistics, or numerical methods. 8. Non-thesis MS OE students must take at least two of the following courses:

• AOE 5074, Advanced Ship Structural Analysis;

• AOE 5084, Submarine Design;

• AOE 5304, Advanced Naval Architecture;

• AOE 5314, Naval and Marine Engineering System Design;

• AOE 5324, Principles of Naval Engineering;

• AOE 5334, Advanced Ship Dynamics;

• AOE 5444G, Advanced Dynamics of High-Speed Craft
