Cutting-edge facilities.
The Boysie Bollinger School of Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering is located in a modern, state-of-the-art, nine-story engineering building that houses specialized laboratory facilities that include:
- A 128 ft. long towing tank with a 15 ft. x 7 ft. cross section for model tests of 8 to 12 ft. long models of ships and offshore structures in calm water and in waves, as well as in shallow water with current.
- A model shop for projects and for towing tank model and experiment manufacture.
- The 色中色导航 Structural Test System, a 20 ft. x 20 ft. wide and 10 ft. high space frame with computer-controlled hydraulic actuators for testing aluminum, steel, and composite ship structural components.
- A computer-aided ship design laboratory with an array of software packages for marine design and analysis.
- A marine engineering laboratory with programs on ship safety, operations, reliability, maintenance, and performance simulation of propulsion systems.
鈥淚 chose Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering because I have always wanted to be a Marine Biologist. I took a physics class my Freshman year of High school and asked myself, how can I match the two? So, I decided on Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering. I can build and design boats and still get my taste of the ocean.鈥
