10/15 Department of Marine Electronic and Mechanical Engineering Department introduction updated
Tokyo University of Marine Science and Technology School of Marine Life Science, School of Marine Technology,Faculty of Marine Resources and EnvironmentThere are three faculties and eight departments (see tree diagram below).
This page introduces the characteristics of each department in the Faculty of Marine Engineering.
※For department introductions for the Faculty of Marine Life Sciences, please seeCLICK HEREThe introduction to the Faculty of Marine Resources and Environment is scheduled to be updated after November.
School of Marine Technology
Undergraduate Course of Maritime Systems Engineering
[Features of the department]
The program mainly focuses on ship operation, and students can also acquire the skills and knowledge needed to steer and command a ship and manage its cargo.
- Nurturing the next generation of marine engineers and cultivating leadership and global capabilities to thrive in marine-based industries
?Learn about maritime engineering, ship operation, and ship management for safe and efficient transportation, which support advanced ship operation technology.
You can acquire the qualification of marine engineer (navigation) required to become a navigator. After graduating from the Department of Maritime Systems Engineering, you can proceed to the "Onboard Practical Training Course" and after completing six months of practical training, you will be exempt from the "written" test of the national examination for third-class marine engineers.
[Main Research Contents]
Maritime culture studies, self-localization, navigation systems theory, etc.
[Career paths of graduates]
Approximately half of the students go on to the on-board training course, and many go on to find employment in shipping-related companies.
If you are aiming to become a navigator, we recommend the Department of Maritime Systems Engineering.

Undergraduate Course of Marine Electronics and Mechanical Engineering
[Features of the department]
Students will gain knowledge and skills related to electronic devices and engines used primarily on ships, and will also learn about energy-saving and environmental conservation technologies.
Students learn the fundamentals and applications of engineering through the technology used on ships, and through experiments and practical training, they are trained to become specialized engineers with application skills and imagination, as well as to develop the leadership and global skills necessary to succeed as engineers.
After graduating from the Department of Marine Electronic and Mechanical Engineering, students advance to the "Onboard Practical Training Course" and, upon completing six months of training, are exempt from the "written" exam for the national examination for third-class marine engineers (engineers).
[Main Research Contents]
Internal combustion engine engineering, electric power, electronic devices, electronic control, mechanical engineering, etc.
[Career paths of graduates]
More than half of our students go on to graduate school or on-board training courses. We have a track record of finding employment in shipbuilding companies, as well as in electric power, automobile, electrical equipment, and construction companies, as well as teaching.
If you are aiming to become an engineer, we recommend the Department of Marine Electronic and Mechanical Engineering.
