Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering – Joinville
The Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering program provides students with a systemic view of engineering, developed through a diversified curriculum, that prepares them for a career in planning, construction, maintenance and disposal of naval systems – including conventional and special vessels, as well as port and oceanic structures.
Graduates can also work in interdisciplinary engineering fields, such as mechanical, electrical, production, metallurgical, materials, transportation and logistics, infrastructure engineering, among others.
Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering is emerging as a prominent field in Brazil, responding to present and future demands in various sectors. This includes shipbuilding for gas, oil, container, and cargo shipping, as well as the construction of touring, security, and platform support vessels. The field extends its impact to coastal and inland navigation, port operations, and ocean exploitation, particularly in light of the significant deep-sea oil (pre-salt) exploration activities taking place in Brazil.
The job market for naval architects and marine engineers can be divided into four main sectors, each with its own subfields: offshore, focusing on oil platforms; structural, involving ship design and construction; logistics, centered on port management and operations; and academic, dedicated to research and development.
