The Department of Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering (NAME) starts its journey at BUET in 1971. The program of study in Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering covers a diversified range starting from ship/ floating body hull to exploration of opportunities for harnessing all kinds of resources from the sea. Such topics as the form, strength, stability, sea keeping qualities, resistance and propulsion of ships/ floating bodies, economic aspects of design and operation of ship/floating body, and many courses of mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, civil engineering, and metallurgical engineering are covered. Other subjects of concern are fundamental to the physical sciences and mathematics, Humanities, and Social sciences. Since the design of a modern ship or any marine system of whatever configuration or function encompasses many engineering fields, graduates of this department are called upon to handle diverse professional responsibilities.
