Introduction
Faculty of Engineering
Note: This Bachelor of Naval Architecture program is taught in Spanish only. Maritime transport brings more than 80% of international trade in goods, is seen an increase in demand for construction of tankers, gas carriers, bulk carriers, container etc. If we talk about energy resources, today, almost a third of the oil and a quarter of the natural gas consumed in the world come from underwater areas and this rush to offshore oil and gas exploration and exploitation is not about to end. Given these scenarios, this course has developed a response to the demand for engineers who can design new ships and offshore structures.
Naval Architecture is a multidisciplinary subject with a strong emphasis on engineering design and systems engineering on ships and offshore structures. Undergraduate students will possess knowledge and experience of the complete processes of conception, design, modeling, implementation of ships, marine installations and other complex systems, along with deep theoretical knowledge in related topics such as design, construction, repair, inspection, maintenance, and management.
Mission
Naval Architecture as part of the University of Veracruz, is an academic program dedicated to scientific and technological development of Naval Architecture sciences and it applications in socio-economic development of the country; aims at training highly skilled professionals in the practical application of knowledge in the design, construction, repair, inspection and maintenance of all kinds of floating, self-propelled or not structures and their interaction with other related disciplines in different sectors, as economic, maritime and port. The undergraduates will be engaged socially and educated strongly in an environment of ethics and professional responsibility.
Extracurricular activities
A number of our alumni had involved in the design and construction of human power submarine, to compete in international races. Others are integrated the sailing team. During the program are programmed visits to national and international shipyards. The students assist to International conferences of SNAME, OTC and IPIN organization.
