ABOUTAbout the Faculty of Marine Engineering

Surrounded by the sea, Japan has developed its economy by importing most of the resources and food it needs and by exporting industrial products.
Under the slogan of "From the Sea to the Future," the Faculty supports the prosperity of this trading and technology-oriented nation, and nurtures strong young people who can take flight to the wider world and into the future.The goal is to become a leading engineer who can discover problems, explore issues, and solve problems by acquiring practical engineering knowledge and skills.
For this reason, we have established three departments: the Department of Maritime Systems Engineering, the Department of Marine Electronics and Mechanical Engineering, and the Department of Logistics Information Engineering, each of which conducts its own unique education and research.

MESSAGEGreetings from the Dean

Marine technology for SDGs

Shinichi Motoda
Tokyo University of Marine Science and Technology Dean of Marine Engineering
Surrounded by the sea on all sides, Japan needed ships as a means of transportation in order to exchange people and goods with other countries.For this reason, Tokyo University of Mercantile Marine, the predecessor of the School of Marine Engineering, was established on the banks of the Sumida River in the Meiji period as the Mitsubishi Merchant Marine School. Since then, the university has produced excellent human resources in the shipping industry over its 120-year history.After the Showa and Heisei eras, the main transportation of people shifted to aircraft, but even in the modern era of Reiwa, ships are the main transportation of cargo.Large ships are equipped with huge infrastructure and constitute a society of the size of a small municipality.Engineers are indispensable for the efficient use of state-of-the-art equipment for its operation.In terms of ship operation, not only navigators and engineers who operate ships, but also design and manufacturing engineers at shipyards, weather forecast companies that support safe voyages at the fastest speed, and logistics companies that optimize logistics. Industry is involved, so a wide range of professional careers awaits our graduates.Recently, there is a demand for human resources in the offshore wind power generation equipment industry related to renewable energy aiming for SDGs.At the Faculty of Ocean Engineering, let's learn together about the future where you can acquire cutting-edge technology through the sea and ships, and be active in a wide range of international communities.
