Welcome to the site for the School of Naval Architecture, Ocean & Civil Engineering (NAOCE), Shanghai Jiao Tong University. The department of Civil Engineering was founded in 1907, the department of Naval Architecture in 1943, and the department of Engineering Mechanics in 1958. Students and alumni of the School of OCE have created many “firsts” in modern and contemporary China and even world history: the first nuclear-powered submarine, the first 10,000-ton freighter, the first manned lifeboat, the first double-track towing tank, the first inshore drilling platform, etc.

OCE boasts a contingent of high caliber faculty working in naval architecture and ocean engineering, engineering mechanics, civil engineering, architecture, and international shipping. We have not only the highly respected and senior professors, but also the creative young academic leaders who are actively engaged in the academic frontiers.
