80% of the undergraduate programs in service in DMU directly serve the shipping industry including maritime shipping, logistics & ports, rescue and salvage, deep-sea exploration and other fields, supporting the national team in the shipping industry. The marine engineering equipment manufacturing industry is a strategic supporting industry of marine resources development and national defense, and is also the primary task and strategic priority of China’s marine resources development. China has a high demand and is severely short of relevant talents. According to the talent demand of "new engineering", these three programs of the Houston International Institute, Dalian Maritime University combine artificial intelligence (AI), Internet and big data with traditional engineering disciplines, which is highly compatible with the marine engineering equipment manufacturing industry, leading to optimistic graduate prospects and positive employment situation.
