Introduction of Organizer: The School of Ocean and Civil Engineering（OCE） consists of four departments: Naval Architecture and Ocean Engineering, Engineering Mechanics, Civil Engineering, and Transportation Engineering. At present, the school offers five bachelor degree programs, six master degree programs, and five engineer master degree programs. Departments of Naval Architecture and Ocean Engineering, Engineering Mechanics, and Civil Engineering offer PhD programs of respective disciplines and host Postdoctoral Research Stations. The OCE also features two state key disciplines (i.e., Naval Architecture and Ocean Engineering, and Mechanics), and two Shanghai key disciplines (i.e., Fluid Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering). The OCE has a group of internationally leading-edge laboratories and testing facilities, such as State Key Laboratory of Ocean Engineering, National Demonstration Center for Experimental Mechanics Education, Key Laboratory of Marine Intelligent Equipment and System of Ministry of Education, Key Laboratory of Hydrodynamics of Ministry of Education, Shanghai Key Laboratory of Digital Operation and Maintenance of Public Buildings and Infrastructures and other national and provincial scientific research bases. The OCE always pay great attention in scientific research, accomplished full-sea deep unmanned submersible, large cruise, full ocean depth heavy-loaded operating mining vehicle, large offshore cutter suction dredger, the “HYSY 981” and other major research projects, making considerable development and remarkable achievements in term of scientific research.
