Bachelor in Mechanical engineering

The Faculty of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering at the Polish Naval Academy in Gdynia, Poland offers a bachelor's degree taught in English over eight semesters. The programme is addressed to high school graduates with clearly defined technical interests, as well as to people already working on merchant ships, in shipping agencies, shipyards, and business organizations operating energy installations both offshore and onshore, and to enterprises that use measurement and control equipment and built-in IT systems. Current research at the faculty relates to several areas: the construction and operation of machinery such as marine power plants, machinery diagnostics, and the construction and operation of diving equipment and underwater work techniques, an area where the faculty draws on extensive experience with light alloy construction materials used in shipbuilding; shock resistance, the design of numerical equipment, and technologies used in developing construction materials and elements; control and digital automation, along with data processing, imaging, and transfer in shipboard systems; support for ship command processes and the design and development of integrated systems to control marine power plants; and the identification and modelling of multidimensional objects using artificial neural networks. Graduates of the engineering and construction of machines course gain knowledge covering the technology, construction, and operation of marine machines, combining theoretical study with the ability to use modern computer techniques supporting engineering work. Gdynia, on Poland's Baltic coast, is a center of maritime industry, and the Polish Naval Academy trains engineers whose skills are directly relevant to shipping, naval, and offshore energy sectors both within Poland and internationally.
