국립부경대학교 이재민 교수(기계시스템공학전공) 연구팀이 한국과 미국의 조선·해양 분야 국제공동연구 사업에 참여한다.

국립부경대는 산업통상부의 ‘다중 정밀도 기반 유체·구조·생산 통합 선박설계 최적화 기술 개발’ 사업에 주관기관인 서울대학교와 함께 공동연구개발기관으로 참여하게 됐다.

한·미 국제공동연구 과제로 진행되는 이번 사업은 산업통상부의 ‘2026년도 조선해양산업기술개발사업’의 국제협력 분야 프로젝트로, 한·미 조선산업 협력 구상인 MASGA(Make American Shipbuilding Great Again) 프로젝트와 연계된 조선·해양 분야 국제공동연구다.

이번 사업은 서울대가 주관하며 공동연구개발기관으로 국립부경대를 비롯해 GIST, 국립한국해양대, 동아대, 충남대, 중소조선연구원, 산업계에서는 한화오션, HD현대중공업, 삼성중공업, 한화시스템이 참여한다. 해외 기관으로 아이오와대, 미시간대, 이탈리아 CNR-INM 등도 참여한다.

이 사업에는 2030년까지 90억 원의 사업비가 지원되며, 기존 조선 건조 기술에 최첨단 디지털 설계 플랫폼을 적용하기 위해 성능·생산성·검증 가능성을 통합한 차세대 통합 선박설계 체계를 구축하는 것이 목표다.

국립부경대는 이번 사업에서 약 4억 원 규모의 연구비를 지원받아 선박 생산·건조전략 최적화 분야를 맡아 용접변형 예측과 생산성 향상을 위한 연구개발에 나선다. 이를 위해 △선박 구조 및 용접부 생산특성 분석 △블록(Block) 단위 용접변형 예측기술 개발 △실증 데이터 기반 용접변형 데이터베이스 구축 및 설계지원 기술 개발 등을 수행할 계획이다.

이번 국제공동연구는 국가 조선설계 기반기술 확보와 함께, 한·미 협력을 기반으로 조선산업의 새로운 성장축을 만들고, 현장의 공정 혁신과 생산성 향상을 앞당기는 등 원천기술의 사업화 촉진과 지역 파급효과가 클 것으로 기대된다. <부경투데이>

 

 

Pukyong National University Participates in Korea-U.S. Joint International R&D Project on Shipbuilding and Marine Technology

- Professor Jae-Min Lee’s Research Team to Develop Next-Generation Digital Ship Design Technology

 

Professor Jae-Min Lee’s research team in the Major of Mechanical Systems Engineering at Pukyong National University will participate in a Korea-U.S. joint international research project in the shipbuilding and marine sector.

 

Pukyong National University will participate as a joint research and development institution, alongside Seoul National University, the lead institution, in the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy’s project titled “Development of Multi-Fidelity-Based Integrated Ship Design Optimization Technology for Fluid, Structural, and Production Systems.”

 

The project, conducted as a Korea-U.S. joint international research initiative, is part of the international cooperation sector of the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy’s 2026 Shipbuilding and Marine Industry Technology Development Program. It is linked to the MASGA (Make American Shipbuilding Great Again) initiative, a framework for cooperation between the Korean and U.S. shipbuilding industries.

 

The project is led by Seoul National University, with Pukyong National University participating as a joint research and development institution alongside GIST, Korea Maritime & Ocean University, Dong-A University, Chungnam National University, and the Research Institute of Medium & Small Shipbuilding. Industry participants include Hanwha Ocean, HD Hyundai Heavy Industries, Samsung Heavy Industries, and Hanwha Systems. Overseas institutions, including the University of Iowa, the University of Michigan, and Italy’s CNR-INM, are also participating.

 

The project will receive KRW 9 billion in funding through 2030. Its goal is to establish a next-generation integrated ship design framework that combines performance, productivity, and verifiability, applying an advanced digital design platform to conventional shipbuilding technologies.

 

Pukyong National University will receive approximately KRW 400 million in research funding through the project and will be responsible for optimizing ship production and construction strategies. The university will conduct research and development aimed at predicting welding deformation and improving productivity. Key research areas will include △ analyzing the production characteristics of ship structures and welded joints, △ developing technology to predict welding deformation at the block level, and △ establishing a welding deformation database based on empirical data and developing design-support technologies.

 

The international joint research project is expected to help secure core technologies for national ship design while creating a new growth engine for the shipbuilding industry through Korea-U.S. cooperation. It is also expected to accelerate process innovation and productivity improvements at shipbuilding sites, promote the commercialization of core technologies, and generate significant benefits for the local economy.
