Department of marine technology: History in brief 1910: NTH: Norwegian Institute of Technology 1913: First professor in Naval Architecture (1-4 students) 1939: Ship towing tank completed (10-30 students) 1972: Faculty of Naval Architecture (50 students) -Shipbuilding in Norway dramatically reduced -Oil activity in the North Sea growing rapidly 1978: Faculty of Marine Technology (60-70 students) -Marine Technology Centre established - Ocean laboratory - Structural laboratory - Machinery laboratory - Marine Cybernetics laboratory (2002) 2009: (90-100 students)
Maritime --> Marine 1912-1970 : Maritime (Ship) Technology 1970- : Marine (Ship and Offshore) Technology Curriculum: From rule based design to first principles Hydrodynamics Structural engineering Full curriculum of Offshore Technology established 1976 Marine Cybernetics from 2001 Future challenges Green shipping Ultra-deep waters (1000 m and beyond) Arctic technology
The great picture: the global challenges Food Climate Energy Exploitation of the ocean still in the early stages?
