  4. 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)

  5. 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
